School year 2026–27, in session
The enrollment: The South Bend Community School Corporation's latest published enrollment figure is 13,704 students, from the corporation's federal E-Rate profile for fiscal year 2025 — the figure this history's Schools section settled on after finding a stale count of 18,110 still circulating in reference sources, where it does not belong. The district remains the only one in Indiana operating under a federal desegregation consent decree, entered in 1980 and never declared unitary; that standing fact of 1980 is also a fact of November 2026.
The superintendent line: Mansour Eid holds the superintendency, on a succession the Schools section documents whole: acting superintendent from 19 February 2025, superintendent from 5 May 2025, his contract renewed on 12 January 2026 — and, by his announcement reported in October 2026, retiring on 30 June 2027. The search for his successor is therefore the district's known next business, though no successor had been named in the record reached as this section closes. The corporation's headquarters stand at 215 South Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard — the building it sold to the city, told in the government entry above; the Clay High School building's future is a court case, and stands in this section's closing entry of open questions.
