Bench school fits them in THE EXPECTED EN- ROLLMENT crunch at Uplands Elementary hasn’t materialized this year, says principal Dawn Martin. ‘Everyone was accom- modated,”’ she said. Kindergarten is the only grade which filled to capac- ity. And there are cven spaces available in a few olber grades, This is different that ex- pectations given crowded conditions fast year and predictions of population growth on the bench, Martin said the un- expected breathing room is due to a number of factors. Quite a few families seemed to move this year, either from the bench to elsewhere in town, or out of town. And about 10 students who didn’t live in the schooi’s catchment area, but still went to Uplands are attend- ing other schools this year. “Tt made enough of a dif- ference,’ said Martin. “From my point of view it’s delightful.’’ The school board has asked the education ministry for money to build another elementary school on the bench, but so far the answer has been no. There is still a capilal spending freeze cven on = existing = approved projects, kakkkk Overall student numbers will probably be down slightly this year from predicted totals, according to reports from School Dis- trict 88, As of September 6 there were just over 5400 full time equivalent students en- rolled at district schools. By the end of the month, that number should be up to about 5,469. That's only slightly mare than last year, and down from the ministry’s projected 5505 students. The district gets money from the ministry based on the number of students projected to be enrolled by the end of September. However, the small downward shift shouldn't make much of a change, since the district allows room in its budget for fluc- tuation of student numbers.
