That way, no district would lose any money from the program.

First, he said, the district lost $300,000 in state school aid.

By the early 1980s the district had lost 51% of its peak enrollment.

So, the total state aid is the same, but the district loses control over part of it.

If all five schools open, the district will lose $8 million from its $156 million budget, he said.

In a four-year period until 2012 the district lost 1,400 students.

The district will lose virtually all of its local control in finances and operations.

A district may only lose a small number of students to charter schools.

"Too many district would have lost under the Governor's plan."

In the 2012-2013 school year the district lost over 500 students.
