The first day of classes at USD 378 Riley County Schools is Thursday.
Superintendent Cliff Williams says preliminary enrollment figures for the new school year have been promising.
According to Williams, part of the reason for that increase is based on the district hosting preschool, through the Twin Lakes Educational Cooperative (TLEC), which includes five rural school districts in the region.
Neighboring USD 384 Blue Valley Schools hosted the preschool last year. USD 384 Superintendent John Cox says he too is projecting a modest increase in enrollment this fall.
The official count date for Kansas school districts is Sept. 20.
