It was the 17th annual Thanksgiving play at the school and the children from the classes wished If present trends continue, school enrollments in Utah will level off by the 1993-9- 4 school year and then begin to decline. This projection was made by Utah Foundation, the private research organization, after analyzing the latest enrollment data released by the Utah State Office of Education. Foundation analysts point out that school enrollment growth in Utah has been slowing down during the past five years. The public enrollment increase in Utah this year (1987-8is only half of what it was in ar year-to-ye- 8) 1982-83- . The study shows that school enrollments in the Carbon School District decreased by 102, or 1.83 percent this year. Fall 1987 enrollments totaled with 5,471 pupils, compared 9 in 1986. According to the State Office of Education, Utah had 423,386 pupils enrolled in its public schools on Oct. 1 an increase of 7,392 pupils from the previous 5,573 year. When the 1987 Legislature established the state aid it had program for 1987-8projected that there would be an 8, enrollment growth of 11,906 pupils in the Utah schools. In other words, the school program for 1987-8as approved by the 1987 Legislature is inflated for 8 4,514 students. The foundation study indicates that migration trends have reversed themselves, and currently there is a substantial from the state. This rising probably accounts for the fact that school enrollment forecasts for were badly overestimated by legislative and school authorities earlier this year. With the slowdown in enrollment growth and the fact that school enrollments 1987-8- 8 probably will level off and begin to decline in about six years, the e outlook for education is good according to the foundation. Instead of having to devote available resources to pay for operating and capital outlay costs of new students, Utah will be able to use these resources to compete more effectively with other states. One of Utahs major problems in recent years has been that its enrollments were rising while they were declining for the nation as a whole. Thus, even though Utah was making a long-rang- effort to support education, it was losing ground in comparisons with other states in the amount expended per pupil. The slowdown in Utah school enrollment growth will ease some of the pressures on school finance. The study observes that most of the present increase in school enrollments in Utah continues to be concentrated in the suburban districts along the Wasatch superior Front. Six districts, (Nebo, Alpine, Jordan, Granite, Davis and Weber) recorded a school enrollment gain of 5,961 pupils between 1986 and 1987. This was to more than 80 percent of equal the total increase for the entire however, were on (Continued Page t) Percentagewise, the largest gains |
