The high school is likely to have larger classroom sizes with an array of cuts scheduled for next year.

With only four days until Gavilan College starts school, few
classes are still enrolling students, a Gavilan spokeswoman
said.
With only four days until Gavilan College starts school, few classes are still enrolling students, a Gavilan spokeswoman said.

“Students who didn’t register early are going to find nothing to register for,” said spokeswoman Jan Bernstein Chargin. “They might have to delay their plans.”

With enrollment up and course offerings down because of deep state budget cuts to education, students are streaming into Gavilan and many will find that their options have dried up this late in the game.

“Students coming in now should not be surprised if their first choice is already full,” Bernstein Chargin said. “It’s tight.”

Even if students’ first or second choices are filled, Bernstein Chargin still advises them to take an assessment test and meet with a counselor to work something out. The first day of school is Tuesday and students may still add and drop classes during the first week of school. Some teachers may be able to sign a few students into their classes if students attend the needed class during the first week, Bernstein Chargin said. Even taking one class this semester will allow current students to register early for courses next year, she said.
