Schools are adding adults even as they lose students. Is that a problem?

Not necessarily. Lower enrollment could actually mean more money for schools on a per-student basis if the same amount of money is spread across a smaller number of students. This is possible because enrollment drops do not necessarily affect the tax revenue that goes toward funding schools.

Recent reports nationally and in California have described this phenomenon in more detail.
