Hundreds Of New Students Enrolling In Bismarck Schools

For newbies: Bismarck is spelled with a "c."

Bismarck is the state capital. It's where Lynn Helms, the Director, NDIC, lives. The city is outside of the Bakken.

KXNET is reporting:

Bismarck students start school in less than two weeks and once again hundreds of new kids are registering.

Last school year more than 400 new kids enrolled in the district.

So far 292 more students are enrolled for this school year compared to last year and 59 are waiting to register.

Superintendent Tamara Uselman says phones in the registration office have been ringing off the hook.

Let's see: 400 new students last year.

This year, 292 more students than last year + 59 more waiting to register = 351.  Getting close to another record, I guess.
