<br />Travis Myren said the charter schools students are up by 88 students, and the number of <br />students in seats is down by 76, which staff believes is driven by an overly aggressive <br />Department of Public Instruction (DPI) projection for CHCCS from last year. He said more <br />students were funded than actually showed up in the seats in CHCCS. He said this happens <br />sometimes. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos said he would find it notable to know how many home <br />schoolers there are, and asked if this number could be provided next year. <br />Dr. Todd Wirt said there were just over 1000 students countywide, last time staff <br />checked. He said the data is not parsed out by school system. <br /> <br />
