JPS Board approves demographics study

Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Public School Board has unanimously approved contracting for a demographics study of the school district.

Superintendent Rob Lech said he met last week with a representative of RSP and Associates, a firm that has done demography studies for several districts across the country, including North Dakota districts in West Fargo, Fargo, Mandan, Watford City and, most recently, Williston.

School board member Gail Martin included a provision in the motion that would urge school administers to seek funding help for the $20,000 study from community organizations, such as the Jamestown/Stutsman Development Corp.

The meeting is now being shown on CSi 10 THE REPLAY CHANNEL.
