Purpose of Study1. Given the practical capacities of the existing
schools and in light of future enrollment projections, is it feasible to reduce the number of operating school buildings and continue to maintain the quality of the educational program? If so, how might the buildings best be utilized and what might the fiscal implications be? If not, what building modifications, if any, should be made, and why?
2. Is it feasible to relocate district office functions to another school building? If so, what are the options for their relocation?
