Robbinsdale School District – Student Enrollment Declined by 4% in 2008
The StarTribune published a story today about the Robbinsdale School District losing 4% of its students last year. The district has seen continuing losses in the number of students it serves.  According to the story, the district peaked in 1972 with more than 20,000 students. In 2009, they expect to have 11,800 students.
The 4% decline was 477 students which translates in to nearly $2.5 million in state aid for education. Many other first ring districts have had to deal with this over the years. It’s the ebb and flow of families and their children. District leaders will continue to have challenges making things work with less money.
