Declining enrollments led both Gilbert Public Schools and Higley Unified School District to slightly revise their 2023-24 school year budgets this week.
Both districts have seen a greater than anticipated drop in “average daily membership,” an enrollment-based figure that is a key part of the state’s education funding formula.
Average daily membership, or ADM, is the total enrollment of fractional students and full-time students, minus withdrawals, of each school day through the first 100 days in session.
