☆ BUSD board member: It’s time we address dropping enrollment

Second-term Berryessa Union board member Hugo Jimenez shares his 2023 district-level ambitions: reduce students’ competency gaps through beneficial services, and combat declining enrollment numbers. Other BUSD candidates/board members have not yet responded. An Opp Now exclusive.

My biggest wish for Berryessa Union School District is to continue providing students with the best education possible. This will include continuing to identify what we can do differently to make sure that all students receive the services they need, and finding out the reasons why certain student populations struggle in certain content areas.

My biggest apprehension is what the effect of our declining enrollment — which results in declining revenue — will be, and what we will do as a board to mitigate the problems caused by declining enrollment.
