GRAND ISLAND —
After
having a record kindergarten class of 750 students this past school
year, Grand Island Public Schools is expecting a new record class of
almost 800 kindergartners next school year.
The consecutive records will create space issues, some of which
district officials and school board members have already addressed.
But no answer has been found for other space needs.
Jim Werth, assistant superintendent for student services, has made his
enrollment projection based on spring kindergarten enrollment and the
number of babies born to mothers five years ago.
Werth said the school district receives statistics from the Nebraska
Department of Human Services about the number of babies born to mothers
who list their home address as being within the Grand Island school
district.
