Enrollment growth spurs new attendance-area studies and facilities planning
Summary
The superintendent reported two enrollment studies—one completed by Teamworks, International and a second by Hazel Reinhardt—intended to guide possible facility expansions, remodels or new construction as the district manages continued enrollment growth.
District leaders told the board that continued student enrollment growth has prompted a multi-year facilities planning effort, including attendance-area adjustments and two enrollment studies to guide next steps.
The memo recapped a Teamworks, International study completed last year and said a second comprehensive enrollment study is underway with Hazel Reinhardt to corroborate findings. Superintendent Anderson said Hazel would provide her report to the school board at the May work session and that the district's primary goal is to consider immediate and long-term facility needs at pre-K, elementary, middle and high school levels, including potential remodeling or new construction.
The superintendent identified Wold Architects & Engineers and Kraus Anderson as strategic partners on facilities planning and said follow-up surveys on community sentiment regarding facilities needs will be conducted. The materials framed these steps as part of cost-containment and long-term enrollment-management work.
