Student Enrollment Student count is what drives a majority of our revenue. The district has benefited over the past few years with increasing enrollment and we feel this should remain fairly stable for the foreseen future. The number of students enrolled for the past four years and for the current year have been as follows: Year Kindergarten Grade 1-6 Grade 7-12 Total 2014/15 188 979 1,141 2,308 2015/16 185 1,064 1,197 2,446 2016/17 179 1,072 1,204 2,455 2017/18 173 1,091 1,200 2,464 2018/19 160 1,079 1,245 2,484 Enrollments for the next three years are projected to be as follows: Year Kindergarten Grade 1-6 Grade 7-12 Total 2019/20 176 1,067 1,244 2,487 2020/21 176 1,057 1,292 2,525 2021/22 176 1,036 1,346 2,558 MPS ENROLLMENT HISTORY 2600 2464 2484 2487 2455 2500 2446 2400 2308 2300 ENROLLMENT 2245 2240 2179 2170 2192 2200 2200 2154 2139 2136 2100 2000 1900 05-06 06-07 07-08 08-09 09-10 10-11 11-12 12-13 13-14 14-15 15-16 16-17 17-18 18-19 19-20 SCHOOL YEARS

Staffing and Class Sizes Staffing allocations are based on anticipated student needs, overall grade-level enrollments, staff/class size targets as identified and available classroom space. A component of this budget is a definition of manageable class sizes for the Marshall Public Schools, within classroom space limitations. Maintaining class sizes and student-to-staff ratios has been a priority for both the district and community we serve. Here are the school board approved guidelines, effective January of 2018 as compared to the projected student enrollment for 2019-2020 school year. Pre-School Staffing Guidelines At the pre-school level the ratio is 1 teacher for every 10 students. There is also a stipulation that there can be no more than 20 students in a classroom, with having 18 students as the ideal number. Elementary Staffing Guidelines Elementary level class size guidelines are calculated strictly on the basis of teacher/student ratio within the individual classroom. GRADE TARGET GUIDELINE 2019-2020 SECTIONS Kindergarten 20 students per teacher 8 sections/22.0 students per class 1 20 students per teacher 8 sections/19.5 students per class 2 20 students per teacher 9 sections/18.8 students per class 3 23-24 students per teacher 8 sections/21.8 students per class 4 23-24 students per teacher 8 sections/22.5 students per class Middle School Staffing Guidelines Middle school staffing is a blended approach between primary level guidelines and secondary school staffing processes. These calculations are based on core classroom teachers. In addition, the middle school will staff exploratory/enrichment teachers shared equally among grades 5-8. GRADE TARGET GUIDELINE 2019-2020 SECTIONS 5 24-25 students per core teacher 8 sections/24.6 students per class 6 24-25 students per core teacher 7 sections/27.4 students per class 7 26 students per core teacher 7 sections/24.8 students per class 8 26 students per core teacher 7 sections/27.1 students per class

High School Staffing Guidelines Secondary school staffing is determined by an allocation of staffing blocks and student sections at the high school building based on a targeted average class size of 28 students for grades 9-12. The high school administration determines the size of individual classes based on enrollment data, the needs of the building, and the strategic goals and objectives of the Marshall Public Schools. Class sizes can vary based on the type of class and the number of hours that it is taught. The secondary school does not receive additional non-licensed support for large classes. GRADE TARGET GUIDELINE Grades 9 - 12 28 students per teacher based on the type of class Special Education Staffing Guidelines Special education staffing is determined based upon overall caseload needs and demands. Caseloads may vary from teacher to teacher based on the overall identified needs, service times and other factors.
