School enrollment Declining If present trends continue, school enrollments in Utah should level off by 1S92 or 1993 and then begin to decline for a few years. This prediction was made by Utah Foundation, the private research organization, in their latest projections of Utah School enrollments and is based on the 1989 Fall enrollment data recently compiled by the Utah State Office of Education. The study shows that school enrollment growth in Utah has been slowing down during the past few years. school Although enrollments in Utah still are rising, the increase in 1989 is less than half of what if was in 1986. Enrollments in the Beaver School District declined by 17, or percent this year. Fall 1989 enrollments totaled 1,324 pupils, compared with 1,341 in 1988. According to the report, "the prospect of a leveling off and even a decline in Utah school enrollments during the next few years could help ease some of the financial pressure that has been plaguing public schools in the state." During the past 10 years public school enrollments in Utah rose by 32 percent, compared with a reduction of 6 percent in the nation as a whole. This disparity placed Utah at a considerable disadvantage in attempting to keep pace and compete with other states. School enrollment growth usually is the result of two main factors: (1) the number of live births in the state and (2) the net migration to or from the state. Other minor factors that could have some influence in growth are in school changes private enrollments and changes in the school dropout rate. The number of live births in 1.27 Utah declined by 16 percent between 1980 and 1987 before edging up slightly in 1988. Since it takes five years before a child may enter the public schools, the birth decline of the early 1980's is just beginning to be reflected in Utah school enrollments. In the 1970 to 1980 decade, Utah experienced the largest influx of new population in its history. however, During the of there has been an population from the state. This has contributed to a slowdown in Utah enrollment during recent years. With improved economic conditions, there is the possibility of a reversal of this trend, and inmigration could again be a factor contributing to school enrollments in the state. Foundation analysts point out that kindergarten enrollments in Utah have been declining for several years and elementary ) grade enrollments began heading down this year, the projections indicate that middle will school ) enrolments continue to grow until 1993 and high school enrollments (10-1will not decline until sometime after 1996. In other words, the enrollment load is shifting away from the elementary grades to the middle school and high school grades. The report indicates one bright spot resulting from the large enrollment increases of the past is that they are producing an increasing number of high schol graduates who will provide the state with a large, workforce at a time when many areas of the nation will be facing serious labor shortages. Meanwhile, the number of high school graduates nationwide will continue to decline during this period mid-198- (1-6- mattress? Not everyone needs eight hours sleep a night?
