Seattle schools face enrollment decline, future budget shortfall as students return
As Seattle Public Schools (SPS) students prepare to return to class on Wednesday, the district is grappling with declining enrollment and budget challenges. Interim Superintendent Fred Podesta addressed the issues during a news conference at Kimbell Elementary School on Tuesday. "Our biggest concern that we see in our enrollment forecast are smaller kindergarten classes, so we're going to work hard," said Podesta. He emphasized the importance of engaging families in pre-K programs to ensure they understand what Seattle Public Schools offers and to address any barriers they face. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the story: https://komonews.com/news/local/seatt... _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook: / komonews KOMO News on Twitter: / komonews KOMO News on Instagram: / komo4 KOMO News on TikTok: / komo4seattle Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube: / @komonews Watch more top local news stories: • Video For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-...
