ND – Four Valley City school district principals gave the board their best guess as to what student enrollment and class sizes will be in the upcoming school year during a board meeting last night.

The principals said right now, no teaching positions will be cut under the current proposal. They said depending on enrollment a teaching position or two could be added.

Superintendent Dean Koppelman reminded the board that if two teaching positions were added to the school district later this year it would have a negative effect on the general fund.

He says if the legislature approves of cutting the proposed per pupil payment from a 4 percent increase back to a 2 percent increase it will have a negative impact on the district.

Koppelman believe that if the legislature doesn’t reinstates a higher per pupil payment the interim general fund cushion will be dangerously low once again in the school district.
