Gilbert Public Schools is looking at a possible loss this year of 600 students in “average daily membership,” a key enrollment figure in the state’s education funding formula, district officials said.
That is 200 more students than the district conservatively projected when putting together its fiscal year 2023-24 budget, Associate Superintendent Bonnie Betz told the GPS Governing Board at its Aug. 22 meeting.
Average daily membership is the total enrollment of fractional students and full-time students, minus withdrawals, of each school day through the first 100 days for the current year.
