“Where did those kids go?” Hutchison asked during a recent public meeting. “Where are they? They didn’t come back this year. That’s what’s laying on that additional reduction in our funding.”
More districts will be making cuts in coming years, said Alex Spurrier, an associate partner at Bellwether Education Partners, a think tank. The last of the federal aid must be spent by 2024.“Once the federal funding dries up, it will put a lot more districts in a lot more difficult position if they’re kind of kicking the can down the road of making the adjustments that they’ll need if they are going to be serving smaller student populations in the years to come,” he said.
Amid the upheaval, some states have gained students. Florida was among the leaders, according to the data-tracking site Burbio. And some districts’ headcounts benefited from new families, including some who moved to less costly areas as work went virtual. “You can’t cut close to $7 million and not change how you do business,” Lawrence Superintendent Anthony Lewis acknowledged at a meeting this month.
No mystery here when things get tuff people go back home to their country. Thats were all the kids go a vamos a papoose
The largest 'district' by enrollment in North Carolina is *homeschool*, with 179,900 students in 2020-21. That's 16.6% of all K-12 kids in the state. Wake County: 163k Charlotte-Mecklenburg: 140k This is the outcome of NCGOP chronic underfunding and undercutting Public Ed.
Has nothing to do with the 'pandemic' we just discovered what kind of garbage was being tought to our little ones.
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Smart families. When the government oversteps, you must take action on your own. Give the parents a choice and keep the kids in school!!
Its not the pandemic, it's the indoctrination
“Why did the kids go” is a better question.
My kids' private Christian school is way up in enrollment. In fall 2020, there was an influx of local students. In 2021, it was a wave of transfers moving from blue states.
Public school unions will cry 4 more $$ otherwise school districts will be forced to let teachers go - costs of public education will climb on a per student basis. Public teacher unions will always win if parents don't detach students from the public teacher unions. Vouchers!
There is plenty of covid money that should go to our schools! Where is it going?
Finally parents are learning that Government schools become tools of the government and brainwashed children will also become tools of the government.
They are making 41,000 to start, that more than generous majority of the working class are lucky if they make that. Tell me again why teachers need to make more than the majority of the wage earners.
Race hucksters and child predators in hysterics.
Perversion and hate being taught in schools and they thought we would stay? Covid at home learning taught us how to do it. They wouldn’t listen, so now we are. And our kids are learning life skills again. How to grow food, budget, time management, life skills
“Tied to the pandemic” really means parents were horrified by what they saw being taught and fled
Dont tell me your surprised
That’s a crying shame…
I feel it has less to do with the pandemic and more to do with the woke culture curriculum forced on the children…
1. There are fewer children born to attend. 2. CRT, sexualization, and American hate lessons have driven away the smart parents.
nature is healing
Maybe the pervert teachers should stop talking to children about sex and grooming them into LGBT lifestyles. Just a thought
This is not surprising.
I’m sad to say it, but I’d give the public schools roughly 15 years. By then they’ll be like the school version of Medicaid and everyone who can will send their kids to private schools. Maybe that’s what our leaders want 🤷♀️
When pedos are running schools, time to get your kids the hell outta there. No reason to pay people to abuse your children.
This is why the pandemic is turning out to be a godsend to the Betsy Devos crowd whose goal is to destroy public education. Public education puts knowledge and opportunity available to all who seek it. Imagine what literacy and opportunities would be like in the US without it.
You can thank POTUS for that they forces parents to make those decisions.
This is wonderful news!!
This is what happens when you have an administraton in place that firmly believes parents should have no say no input into their child's education.
It's not just covid COVID is pretty much done. It's what they're teaching our children and putting parents back up against the wall to disagree or even to comment.
Good.
Thats nice now let's defend them entirely make private schools more affordable and cut taxes
SethDillon Maybe they don't want groomer teachers sexualizing their kids.
This is so great!!! Parents are finally waking up to the dangers of the overpaid, public indoctrination system!
They have children wearing masks.. causing them permanent psychological harm. They are also actively subverting western culture and practical education for the benefit of corrupt billionaires. Yeah.. run away from these a$$holes and homeschool for the future of humanity.
Nothing to do with LGBLMT grooming?
Stop indoctrination with CRT and gender studies, give the parents an actual voice in thier children's education and it would rise, or like everything in our current govt. It'll crumble 1 brick at a time, deservedly so!
Because the majority of public schools are cesspools of indoctrination.
This is the way.
Yes kill the school system depriving them of the children that gets their funding
Good.
When schools stop teaching CRT and all this gender stuff then maybe schools will see more students. Public school are not educating children like the used too. It's failing
What do you expect when you shove your crap down their kid's throats? Keep pushing and it'll keep happening
Because of the PERVERTED indoctrination of kids and the deadly lie of vaccines
Stop teaching sex and how to become transgender in Kindergaten
Perhaps parents want their kids to study reading, writing, arithmetic and the Constitution, not a perpetual course on gender roles.
Lmao
We've been home schooling for years and it's the best decision we ever made.
Public schools are a cesspool
It’s because people found out the garbage they are feeding kids and aren’t putting up with it. Abolish the department of education.
The overemphasis on LGBTQIA & BLM anti-white & anti-America propaganda… anti-Christian messaging… face diapers & vaccine pimping… gender insanity… drugs… brats, bullying & campus violence… Common Core. Leftists politicized education & made it toxic. homeschool
Parents pulling kids out to keep them away from the Groomers running and teaching their kids.
Watch how this soft headline will be used to begin the process of demonizing homeschooling parents, blaming on how it's a 'white supremacist', selfish decision by these parents that led to the collapse of public schools.
Switched my kid to a small charter school. It was more because of the rough atmosphere with peers at her larger public school. She is much more relaxed and is excelling in math and science!
What a weak narrative. “Due to pandemic”. You left out the part of CRT, exposing our kids to sex in school, etc. those kids are not coming back and the school funds will suffer. So be it. So sad, too bad!
To Better Schooling that will not teach them about 33 genders and White Self Hatred!
Total miss on the article, . Parents are homeschooling because of the FREAKS 'in charge' and indoctrinating our kids that FREAK is normal. Teaching a child to flip-flop genders on a whim is ABUSE. They're learning who is REALLY in charge. What's my pronoun? Let's go/Brandon!!!
This is the push they need to put in a parental rights bill like they have in Florida
Oop. See what happens when you mess with kids and parental rights
SethDillon Parents are getting their kids out of those groomer places and to safely.
That's because parents are sick and tired of the radical indoctrination of their children. Let them go bankrupt, fuck them.
They went home where they don’t have to wear masks and their families teach them academics 😊
teh wonder why
Homeschooling is preferred over the sexual orientation and brainwashing of children.
alexstein99 Anywhere but the indoctrination stations.
Parents don't want their kids brainwashed. No surprise here.
The country os increasingly leftist and leftists dont have children which is why birth rates are low and school enrollment is down.
GOOD!!
School is not necessary in idiocracy
This is true. I enrolled my child for private school this year.
Don't you mean 'tied to radical leftist indoctrination?'
I am a public school teacher and I’m telling everyone reading this to homeschool your kids. Schools are not the ones we grew up with. So much is hidden.
Forcing vax on children... Forcing masks on vaxxed children.... Sex education for elementary and CRT. Not hard to see why
We don't want 'our' children indoctrinated. GFY
Good.
Take off the masks!
You answered your own question
You don't think LGBTQIAPQRSTUV Teaching has something to do with it. I don't want my kids learning that garbage
This seems ideal
Don’t suppose it ever occurred to anyone that at least some of us turned to home school because we’re dissatisfied with public school. Lockdowns just proved to families that they could.
Good
A step in the right direction
Meantime GCSchoolsNC is asking for even more bond money. It’s becoming an election year staple. I’m building a house and moving but I will go out of my way to vote against that bond.
Universities will be next because this is where it originated. Might explain this recent push for free college. Especially since we cut off the Chinese funding from some. Don’t worry though. We are set to send our youth to Shanghai with Japan to learn esg
And their surprised? Are they that ignorant to their progressive policies to think that everyone is ok with what state funded education has done to our kids for the last 2 years and promising to do them indefinitely?
We seen the woke crt and grooming your pushing on our kids when you shut down schools and don’t want our kids apart of that! Don’t screw with parents
That's what happens when you hire woKe propaganda substitutes, Rather than teachers
Can’t imagine why.
SethDillon 'Where did those kids go?' I can tell you they didnt go where YOU wanted them to go, they didnt go to your Abusive Sex Cult.
Should have opened schools up earlier. Disgusting what these teacher unions did in order to stay remote.
Awwwwwe you wanna know? Their parents said fuck all the child predators in your government schools
SethDillon Dont forget that a particular political movement has been demonizing marriage and child-bearing for 30 years. Population is about to tank in the West
Why do they need funding for a student that isn't there?
+1 School Choice +1 Charter +1 Homeschooling
Serves them right
Surely this doesn’t surprise you? That’s ok the plan is to fill the taxpayer funded seats with illegals.
Is not because of the pandemic 😷 you know pretty well why parents are starting to homeschool or send to private school their kids
This is good.
Best decisions those parents ever made - taking them out of public schools !
Why would they do that, rweingarten ?
Reminds me of the boy found guilty for killing his parents and asked the judge for leniency because he's an orphan.
Pandemic.
There are numerous reasons for this, but you only have to look to the news for the major ones. Until those issues are addressed, things won't get better.
Yes! Get the propoganda out of our schools or you will cease to exist
I think I wanna put my kids in private school. But it’s so expensive
This is very sad news for The Ministry of Truth. We will contact all the families to make sure the kids are brainwashed according to the law. Truth is a human right. Thank you for your cooperation. Think Twice!
remote learning taught parents and they've decided to change.....venues
In PA head count down and funding up. Kids do worse.
It was a curriculum of woke racism—catch up. People want their kids to actually learn real shit not how to hate immutable characteristics of others and forced resentment.
Fund students, not systems
I mean, they should have made a lot of those changes immediately and then more as things progressed. The fact that they have to do it all now is more evidence of poor management. You are also missing a LOT of the story about WHY parents have left the public school systems…
False. Insane government mandates caused this.
