Things To Know About Enrollment
 
  • The numbers in the chart are based on October 1 enrollment.  October is the base month used by OSPI when forecasting enrollment for facility planning and was utilized by our demographer in his report below. However, state funding is allocated to districts based on annual average enrollment. 
  • Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) enrollment is what our funding is based on, while headcount shows how many students accessed BISD services. For example, a student who is enrolled for half the day will show up as .5 FTE but will count as one in the headcount. You can view additional enrollment information at OSPI's website. 
  • The above numbers do not include preschool or Running Start students. 
  • Prior to 2016-2017, kindergarten students were counted as .5 because the state only funded half-day kindergarten. Starting in 2016, the state began funding full-day kindergarten and kindergarten students are now counted as one.
