A Seattle school district <\/a>is being forced to lay off employees amid financial turmoil that was caused by plummeting student enrollments.<\/p>\n

Seattle Public Schools announced on Tuesday that some staff members<\/a> have been notified they may lose their jobs to address a budget deficit.<\/p>\n

“This week…we’ve issued some notifications to employees about they’re being considered for ‘RIF’ and displacement so that is happening,” said Dr. Brent Jones, SPS superintendent, at a school board meeting on Tuesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re in that phase right now,” Jones added.<\/p>\n

The Board noted that its deficit is at a “tipping point,” noting that its “structural deficit” has grown to $131 million.<\/p>\n

They also cited an expiration of their one-time state and federal resources from the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER) and funding of transportation without riders.<\/p>\n

On top of the adverse circumstances, the Board added that student needs are increasing and that labor costs are “significantly more than state and local funding.”<\/p>\n

Jones outlined the district\u2019s “strategy to fiscal responsibility” that included a multitude of objectives including “aggressively” pursuing new or expanded revenue opportunities.<\/p>\n

The starkest issue is the downward trend of enrollment in the district. According to the Board, enrollment dropped since the fiscal year 2013-14 while staffing increased to address the needs of students.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Board expects a trend of enrollment decrease.<\/p>\n

Some of the Board expressed concern about how the cuts to labor will impact student outcomes.<\/p>\n

“So, some of these cuts or rather programmatic changes could very well have little to no impact on student outcomes,” District 7 School Board Director Brandon K. Hersey said.<\/p>\n

Hersey suggested putting expectations and parameters on a baseline level of services that the district can provide in order to guarantee a “streamlined equitable approach.”<\/p>\n

The number of homeschooled students in the state has nearly doubled since 2019, per data found<\/u><\/a> by the Center for Reinventing Public Education (CRPE), a research organization at Arizona State University\u2019s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College.<\/p>\n

The Seattle Public School District enrollment has been on a steady decline since COVID closures with the trend expected to continue through 2028, CRPE research<\/u><\/a> shows.<\/p>\n

From 2019-2021, private school enrollment increased by 10 percent per year on average, enrollment in homeschool increased<\/a> by 27 percent per year on average and enrollment in charter schools increased by 28 percent per year on average, CRPE reported.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital previously reported that average math scores saw the largest declines ever<\/u><\/a> across every state, dropping five points for fourth-graders and eight points for eighth-graders from 2019 to 2022, according to the Nation’s Report Card. <\/p>\n

Reading scores dropped to levels not seen since 1992, decreasing three points for both grades in two years and revealing significant proficiency setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
