Enrollment numbers are slightly up from projections for the school district and officials believe it proves to be a good start to a successful year. “We are still enrolling kids, believe it or not,” said Mike Mullen, assistant superintendent of school opera- tions. “From what we projected to what we have en- rolled, we have about 30 more students from what we anticipated.
