What this document actually says
This document shows the district's enrollment projections and staffing plans for all three schools (Reed Elementary, Bel Aire Elementary, and Del Mar Middle School) for the 2025-26 school year compared to 2024-25. Reed Elementary expects 377 students (up from 368) with 19 classroom teachers. Bel Aire Elementary projects 314 students (down from 326) with 15 teachers. Del Mar Middle School anticipates 347 students (down from 361). Class sizes are projected to remain relatively stable, ranging from about 18-23 students per teacher at elementary schools. The document also lists specialist positions including art, music, PE, library, special education, counselors, nurses, reading specialists, and psychologists, with their FTE (full-time equivalent) allocations across all three campuses.
What this means for your family
Class sizes will remain similar to this year, with elementary classes around 20-22 students and middle school classes averaging 21-24 students. All specialist services (art, music, PE, counseling, special education, etc.) will continue. Reed Elementary will add one classroom teacher while Bel Aire maintains current staffing. These projections help determine how many teachers and support staff your child's school will have next year.
