Discussion	 continued	 about	 things	 which	 could	 have	 caused	 the	 decrease	 in	 stu-
dent	enrollment	this	year.	Possibly	home	schooling,	people	moving	away	because	of	lack	of	
jobs	or	working	in	another	city	and	schooling	their	kids	there	or	the	economy	and	moving	
back	in	with	grandparents.	One	possibility	could	be	that	since	there	is	no	daycare	here	and

Maybe	with	the	Town	of	Inglis	being	so	concerned	about	creating	new	jobs,	they
