Enrollment up for South Lake Tahoe schools

The first week of school in South Lake Tahoe is in the books, and the early numbers show that enrollment is up for the Lake Tahoe Unified School District's seven schools.

Many students had to miss the first day of school since they didn't have their paperwork and immunizations completed, which are both required to attend local schools.

Angie Keil, the Public Information Officer for LTUSD, said that it was a hectic first week of school but so far the enrollment numbers show that there are 3,877 students in school. This is up by 156 from the end of school figures from June.

There are 589 students at Bijou Community School, 396 at Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet School, 505 at Sierra House, 797 at South Tahoe Middle School, 1,032 at South Tahoe High and 75 at Mt. Tallac.
