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.  Full Story
