The days of annual 130- to 140-student increases in the Duneland School Corporation (DSC) are over, at least until a few new subdivisions come on line.

At Tuesday’s meeting of the Duneland School Board, Superintendent Dirk Baer told members that, as of Tuesday, enrollment in the DSC had increased by only 11 students over the comparable day in 2007, and by only six students over the previous Average Daily Membership (ADM), the Indiana Department of Education’s term for official enrollment and the number on which state funding is based.

This year the ADM will be counted on Friday, Sept. 12, Baer added.
