SALT LAKE CITY — Enrollment in the Salt Lake City School District in the late 1950s and early 1960s reflected the post-World War II baby boom with head counts some of those years exceeding 40,000 students in Utah's capital city.
"Keep in mind that the district has maintained the same number of elementary schools now as we did eight years ago," he said. Earlier this year, the school board voted to shutter Salt Lake Virtual Elementary School following a sharp decline in enrollment after the COVID-19 pandemic subsided and the federal funds used to establish the school had run their course.consulting firm says multiple factors are contributing to the school district's enrollment decline: gentrification, declining household sizes, an aging population and a decline in Utah's birthrate.
Jaime Boone, children's services program director for the addiction and mental health treatment provider Odyssey House, urged the board members to "vote with your hearts a little bit, not just the data. These kids need Wasatch, nothing else. That's all they ask for."Many children from Odyssey House have experienced severe trauma and need trauma-informed care, which they receive at the school, she said.
