LEICESTER — Unlike Otter Valley Union High School, which lost 13 students compared to the prior year, falling enrollment is not an issue at the Leicester Central School, which grew by 13 students — yet, oddly, costs are still up at the elementary school.
According to Leicester School board member Connie Carroll, current enrollment at the school stands at 71 students, up from 58 students last year. Carroll said they expect 74 students next year.
“We’re projecting a 20 percent increase over the next three years,” she said.
