Don’t read too much into Minneapolis Public Schools enrollment numbers

....being fewer losses than expected. If there were a good non-basis news source in this town we would find out if the decrease in the number of decreases is due to people unable to afford sending their kids somewhere else. I highly doubt that the declining enrollment figures will be calculated into the asking price of the referendum this fall. Instead of setting a fixed price onto the referendum they should set a fixed price per student. This way if the enrollment goes down it can be reflected in the price tag, but that would make too much sense. Heaven forbid the school system do anything that made sense.
