As thousands of migrant students join Colorado's largest school district, it's stretching resources and staffing thin – and their budgets, too. Additional funding from the state could help districts like Denver Public Schools that are welcoming new students all the time. Over the past year and a half, a steady stream of migrant families have made their way to Denver. And with their arrival, enrolling their children at Denver schools. For Adrienne Endres, executive director of multilingual education at DPS, this has been a year like no other she has experienced. "We have never in my experience had an enrollment fluctuation as significant as this and with kiddos that have such significant needs, too," Endres said. Just this year, Denver welcomed thousands of newcomer students. "We are at about 3,700 as of this week," Endres said. Since the start of the year, DPS has welcomed roughly 200 migrant children every week. "But this is the first week we've actually seen a net decrease of about 40 to 50 kids," Endres said. "We still welcomed a lot of new arrivals last week but we're also starting to see quite a bit more attrition as housing is changing, shelter is changing at the city level." These newcomer families are often unhoused or in temporary housing as they look for a more permanent place to stay. It can make planning for the district tricky. "It is complicated when we're not sure when and how students are moving week to week," Endres said.
