PoliticsOct 30California School Districts Report Sharp Decline in Newcomer Students Amid Funding and Program CutsCalifornia school districts are reporting a sharp decline in "newcomers"-students who have lived in the U. S. for less than three years-threatening the funding and infrastructure of support systems built for immigrant children. In the Oakland Unified School District, annual intake of new students remained steady at over 1,300 between 2017 and 2025. However, that number fell to 498 for the 2025-26 cycle, and further dropped to 212 during initial registration for the 2026-27 school year. Los Angeles (LAUSD) saw a similar trend, where the newcomer population plummeted 46.5%, falling from 20,755 students in 2024-25 to 11,103 in the current season. This decline significantly outpaces the general student population decrease in the region, which stands at 8.3%. The reduction in students has led to a contraction of specialized services. In Oakland, the number of high schools offering newcomer adaptation programs dropped from 17 to 6. Many schools have eliminated dedicated newcomer classrooms, placing students with minimal English proficiency directly into general education settings. Because U. S. school budgets are tied to enrollment numbers, these districts face direct financial losses and a diminished ability to sustain bilingual immersion programs that rely on immigrant student quotas.pravda_ru · russia
