The Desert Sands Unified School District (DSUSD) Governing Board has approved a three-year contract with Management Impact Solutions to conduct demographic studies that will aid in planning for future student enrollment and resource allocation. The decision, made during the regular meeting on April 15, 2025, is expected to provide critical insights into how new housing developments will impact local schools.

The contract, valued at approximately $34,000 per year, will help the district project student numbers based on housing growth, which is particularly relevant in areas like French Valley. Board members emphasized the importance of understanding demographic shifts to prepare for increases in student populations, especially in transitional kindergarten (TK) programs, which are projected to see a rise of 300 students next year.

The board unanimously approved the contract, reinforcing their commitment to using data-driven strategies to enhance educational planning and community support. This proactive approach aims to ensure that the district can adapt to changing demographics and continue to provide quality education to all students.
