The Indian River School District is seeing an increasing number of students showing up for classes over the last three years -- from 276 to 476.
So far there has been an increase of 245 as of yesterday morning with total enrollment just over 10-thousand.
This year’s rise could mean additional 16 staff positions in the district bringing the potential total to 725.
Seventy-percent of the district staff is funded by the state with the other 30 percent by local taxpayers.
WBOC reports that state officials say most of the increase has occurred in the northern part of the district in the Millsboro and Georgetown areas.
