![Senior Lara Lew-Strass talks to two Duveneck Elementary School students during Early Childhood Development’s field trip to the school. According to ECD teacher Hillary McDaniels, the trend of dropping enrollment can actually bring some benefits for schools.
"We're [the district] primarily funded through our property tax dollars," McDaniels said. "Overall when our enrollment shrinks that actually, should be more money per student, not less money per student. But there's also the concept of being fiscally responsible which is important to our district as well, so you need to find that balance."
