Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Public School Board Monday received the study report from RSP & Associates of Kansas City, Kansas, with the district’s demographic information and census projections, and projected enrollment for grades K-12 from the current school year through 2019-20.<\/p>\n
Rob Schwartz, RSP & Associates CEO, said his company’s projections are 97 percent accurate and Jamestown Public Schools will be dealing with capacity issues at the elementary school level and at the middle school level by the 2019-20 school year.<\/p>\n
Enrollment is projected to increase to 2,384 students by 2019-20, an increase of 161 students or 7 percent.<\/p>\n
Jamestown School Superintendent Rob Lech says the next step will be to send the demographic study information to DLR Group, an architectural firm based out of Omaha.<\/p>\n
Lech says the firm will make a recommendation concerning which school buildings need to be expanded to handle the projected enrollment growth.<\/p>\n
the study shows that Gussner, Lincoln, Louis L’Amour and Roosevelt elementary schools are either at capacity or will be over the next five years. Gussner Elementary School has a capacity of 260 students and currently has 264 students enrolled. RSP’s study projects Gussner’s enrollment increasing to 275 for 2015-16, then staying at or above its current capacity through 2019-20.<\/p>\n
Lincoln Elementary has a capacity of 240 students and has an enrollment of 252 students for the current school year. The study project’s Lincoln’s enrollment increasing to 276 by 2019-20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
