Lumberton ISD updates demographic projections to guide long-range facility planning
Summary
District staff presented an updated demographic report after finding the 2020 projection overstated growth; the update is intended to inform the Long-Range Facility Planning Committee and future board recommendations.
District staff presented an updated demographic report at the May 7 meeting, saying the 2020 projection had incorrectly forecast continued growth through the current school year. Presenters emphasized the difficulty of making reliable projections beyond five years and said the new analysis will give the Long-Range Facility Planning Committee (LRFPC) more accurate short-term student population projections to guide facility recommendations.
Board members were informed the demographic update is an informational item to support future agenda work rather than an action item. The report was positioned as preparatory data for long-range facility planning rather than a finalized facilities decision.
