Parent and Community Invitation: Burnsville Elementary Enrollment Discussion

Burnsville Elementary has seen a significant drop in enrollment this school year. We began with a projected enrollment of 99 students, but as of October 1, that number dropped to 87 and today we have just 61 students enrolled.

As Superintendent of Braxton County Schools, I want to hear directly from our parents, families, and community members about your concerns and ideas for solutions. Your input is vital to understanding why enrollment has declined and how we can work together to strengthen Burnsville Elementary for the future.

Please join me for an open community meeting on Thursday, December 4th, at the Burnsville Community Building. Stop by anytime between 4:30 PM and 6:30 PM to share your thoughts.

You’ll also have an opportunity to complete an anonymous survey designed to help us gather honest feedback and ideas for improvement.

Your voice matters!
