  • While the overall state population

increased, the number of school-aged children fell: a loss of more than 22,000 students, or a 7 percent decline since 2000.

  • As this map shows, that drop was

spread across the state, with a few towns gaining in school-age population.

  • More broadly, policymakers will have to

consider what steps to take to build the education system in a state where the student population is declining.
