BAKERSFIELD, Calif. â The State Department of Education says enrollment numbers in California public schools have declined by more than 700% since the start of the pandemic. While many have an idea on why officials say there isnât much local data yet to prove the exact reasons.
âThe only real drop that we have seen is that we have had a downward tik in our kindergarten registration,â said Kelly Richer, superintendent at Wasco Union Elementary School District.
