Sumner County Director of Schools Del Phillips updated the School Board on enrollment numbers in light of COVID-19, according to a recent story in the Tennessean:
Phillips said that Sumner County Schools had 29,177 students enrolled during the first 20 days of the school year. That is roughly a thousand students less than last school year.
“Approximately 1,450 students chose to home school,” Phillips said. “In comparison, that's usually around 150, so a pretty sizable number chose to homeschool.”
Phillips also reported that 4,100 students have enrolled in the Sumner County Virtual Academy, with 2,600 of those students being K-8, during the first nine weeks of the school year. About 550 of the K-8 virtual learners are returning to the classroom after fall break, he said.
