• Chelsea School District increasingly relying on school of choice enrollment, data says (mlive.com) — Chelsea School District is increasingly depending on school-of-choice students to keep enrollment steady, with nearly 10% of its 2,273 students now coming from outside district boundaries and projections topping 12% in four years. Local leaders in Chelsea are weighing how this trend, falling birth rates, and rising housing costs could shape future building needs, budgets, and class sizes through 2030.
