Board approves Keane Consulting demographic study after trustees seek transfer-focused methodology
Summary
Trustees approved a contract with Keane Consulting for a demographic study but asked that the consultant focus on interdistrict-transfer patterns that historically account for roughly 80% of SGUSD enrollment, and agreed to a kickoff meeting to align methodology.
The board approved a proposal from Keane Consulting to perform a demographic study of Sunol Glen Unified, but trustees flagged methodology concerns: the proposals primary written components focused on in‑boundary population projections while trustees said about 80% of current enrollment historically comes from interdistrict transfers. The superintendent and facilities presenter said they will hold a project kickoff with the consultant to ensure transfers and historical inflows are central to forecasting.
Trustees agreed it would be a mischaracterization to model the district only on in‐boundary housing and risk underestimating enrollment if the model ignores transfer patterns. The board approved the contract with the understanding the consultant will incorporate interdistrict transfer analysis and present a methodology summary and timeline.
