Savannah school board keeps enrollment cap at 640

The Savannah school board kept an academy’s enrollment cap at 640, declining to raise the limit to 1,000.

The decision

The board’s action leaves the academy’s enrollment limit at 640 students. The academy had requested permission to enroll as many as 1,000 students.

That means the request would have increased the permitted enrollment by 360 students. The board did not approve that higher limit.

What the numbers mean

The 640-student cap remains the governing limit described in the decision. The academy’s request sought an enrollment level 56.25% higher than the current cap.

The decision addresses how many students the academy may enroll. The available details do not establish any change to other school policies or operations.

What happens next

The academy remains subject to the 640-student limit unless the board takes another action. Any future request to change that limit would be a separate matter for the school board.
