What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Districts across the Twin Cities attribute a surge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents earlier this year to drops in student enrollment. District 191, which covers Burnsville, Eagan, and Savage, has lost 200 students since last year due to the surge and lower birth rates. While District 191 leaders anticipated this drop, other districts, such as the one in St. Paul, project losses of nearly $5 million due to fewer English language learner students.

Why it matters

Minnesota schools receive funding based on the number of students enrolled, meaning enrollment declines directly impact district finances. While leaders in District 191 anticipated the loss, other districts may face financial losses and potential staffing cuts.
