In the next ten years that failed government schools in California will have an enrollment decline, net, of 661,000 students. What this does not tell you is that the actual loss will be MUCH greater. The difference? The difference will be the illegal aliens filling the empty seats.
“Santa Cruz County is expected to lose 8,126 students – from 38,025 students in the 2022-23 school year to 29,899 students by 2032-33, according to Lookout Santa Cruz.
Yet government will be spending much more for 10% fewer students. Thank you unions and radicals.
