Public school enrollment declining in America's most populous cities: Report
Nationwide enrollment decreased 2% in 10 years

Former presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard says North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper 'cares more about power than he does about the people' after declaring a 'state of emergency' over school choice bill on 'Fox News Tonight.'

Public school enrollment is declining in America's most populous cities, but despite the dip in attendance, school spending has increased in many urban districts, according to a report. Experts warn the disparity will have major implications for education policy.

Between 2013 and 2022, nationwide enrollment decreased by 2% from 49.9 million to 48.8 million, falling to some of the lowest points in decades, according to a report the Manhattan Institute published Thursday. Senior fellow Daniel DiSalvo and economic policy analyst Reade Ben found that even though enrollment numbers have declined, school districts have yet to adjust their staffing and budgeting to the reality of fewer students.

"Declining enrollment does not speak well to the level of confidence in large, urban-area public school systems," Ben told Fox News Digital.
 
New York, Illinois and California faced the largest student enrollment declines while Texas and Arizona saw the largest increases, according to the report. Texas is expected to surpass California for the most public school students, but even the Lone Star State's four biggest cities, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and Austin, have seen slight declines over the last decade.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

A decline with all the millions of illegals Biden has invited and flown in?  Something isn't right.

Do you realize how few children millennials are having? And how most of the people being imported are military age men?

I would be interested in seeing a graph of the enrollment numbers. I have a suspicion that there is a step down around 2021, due to parents choosing other options instead of PS.

Back when we homeschooled, about 7/8 of homeschooling families did so for religious reasons. That % has probably declined in the past 20 years, but probably pretty much all homeschooling parents nowadays have concerns about education quality and/or their children’s safety.
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
