San Diego Unified School District has continued to see reduced enrollment in recent years. The district anticipates 1,200 fewer students in K-12 than last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

In total, 94 schools reported enrollment below 80 percent of maximum capacity and a dozen schools will operate with less than 50 percent capacity or less, according to state data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The steady decline in enrollment has been going on for several years, and there is no sign it will turn around anytime soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

District leaders are scrambling to make up for the lost student money\u2014about $13,000 per student\u2014since the state funds public schools on a per pupil basis. The district is anticipating a loss of about $15.6 million this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fewer students also means fewer teachers. Roughly 60 teachers will be out of a job based on the current numbers. As a result, San Diego Unified will save about $2.76 million in salary expenditures, but that still leaves the district with a deficit of $13 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMany of our families are simply being priced out of the newer neighborhoods within the Mid-City corridor,\u201d says Dave Downey, a school principal in the district.<\/span><\/p>\n
