Marin school enrollment falls along with Bay Area’s

Bay Area schools have experienced the third largest decline in student enrollment in California over the past 10 years as families left high-cost coastal areas for more affordable inland cities and states, new data shows. The region is expected to see an even larger loss over the next 10 years.

In Marin, the numbers are more subtle than in other Bay Area locations, but there is still a steady decline, said Laura Trahan, assistant superintendent in the Marin County Office of Education.
