Fall enrollment increases in Sioux Falls schools

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Officials say Sioux Falls crowded school classroom problem is only getting worse.

Fall enrollment is nearly 24,000 in kindergarten through 12th grade. That’s 135 additional students this year. KELO-TV reports the biggest enrollment increase is at the high school.

Superintendent Brian Maher says that along with a growing school district, the enrollment population is more diverse. Maher says that trend needs to be embraced. He says 62 percent of the students are white, but that number continues to decline.
