10.A. Approve Hazel Reinhardt Proposal for Demographic Study and K-12 Public School Enrollment Projections
Presenter:
Dr. Rajanen
Description:
Background
The approach centers on helping school districts understand the many factors that affect public school enrollment and how these factors interact with each other. The first phase of analysis will review the most recent population and household estimates for the areas that comprise the Waconia School District. National and state demographic and economic trends most likely to affect the school district will be reviewed as well. The second phase of analysis focusses on enrollment trends at the Waconia Public Schools and in the Waconia School District. Kindergarten trends, the current grade with the largest number of students and migration trends by grade will be analyzed. In addition, competition in all its forms, for example, nonpublic school enrollment, home school, and public options such as open enrollment, tuition agreements and charter schools will be examined to determine their effect on Waconia Public School enrollment. Work Products Work Products include a written report with all analyzed data and the assumptions in making the projections. This proposal is based on making at least four cohort survival projections and at least two housing unit method projections for enrollment district wide. The district will make copies of the demographic report for distribution. In addition to the written report, a PowerPoint presentation will be prepared for communicating results. Cost The professional fee for the basic Demographic-Enrollment Study is $5,000. including the report and presentation. Mileage will be billed at $.50 per mile. Time line The project can start immediately. Project completion will be about four weeks after all data are received. |
