White Salmon Valley School District enrollment in the first month of the year is down slightly from one year ago.  Superintendent Jerry Lewis says last year they had the unusual experience of seeing student numbers actually go up in October before stabilizing.  He notes that pattern has occurred before, adding the number is very close to what they projected going into the school year, coming within five students.  Lewis says the district is seeing a changing demographic, with the number of students living below the poverty level decreasing in the past few years.
