Seems they didn't get the numbers they expected by the June 1st deadline. Could the reason be that Trenton Schools are no longer considered the premere school district downriver by those outside the community?
What is the chance that this school board will either extend the deadline or open enrollment to other grades in hopes in attracting additional outside students? Should the latter prove to be true, its only means that we were all lied to.
This school board still thinks that schools of choice is the quick fix to their yet unresolved budget problems.
