SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The numbers are in, and the news isn’t good for South Bend Schools.
ABC 57 told you last Friday that it was “count day” for Indiana schools; the day when student enrollment is calculated.
It turns out, South Bend Schools lost about 700 students this year.
School officials told us they expected a drop, just not this dramatic.
As for a cause, administrators think the new school voucher program and families moving out of South Bend are to blame.
