occasions and student enrollment growth on three occasions. Over the course of the past two years (2007-08 and 2008-09), Ladysmith-Hawkins School District has experienced student enrollment growth which— according to the school district’s administrative staff—is attributable to the implementation of new program initiatives and more aggressive marketing. The Project Consultants concluded that Ladysmith-Hawkins School District would be profiled as a minimally declining enrollment school district (despite recent student enrollment gains).
