Butler, Bloomingdale Enrollment Will Not Affect Grade Sections

Enrollment in the Butler and Bloomingdale school districts has seen a slight increase this coming school year, although not enough to affect grade sections, according to the superintendents of both districts.

Bloomingdale Public Schools has a total of 619 students enrolled, a small increase from last year's 608 students at the start of the school year, according to Interim Superintendent Frank Buglione. There has been no significant change among the individual grade levels.
