Enrollment figures as of August 15 show an increase from the 2022-2023 school year. Current enrollment numbers show 836 students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, which is up 3 students from a year ago. The largest class is the fourth grade class with 68 students and the smallest class in the 1st grade class with 50 students.

The 2023-2024 school year brings several law updates Nebraska schools will address during the school year. The district will be navigating changes in part-time enrollment and its connection to extracurricular activities participation, while also embracing the new teacher recruitment and retention incentives that include the elimination of the entry PRAXIS requirement and provides monetary incentives for new teachers and teachers in their first 5 years of service.

During the meeting the board approved the UNL Extension Assistant Funding Commitment and they approved the recognition of the Falls City Education Association as exclusive bargaining agent for non-supervisory teaching staff for 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 contract years.
