School enrollment & growth; Where are houses being built, which schools are at capacity?
With several schools at or near capacity, the results of a $30,000 land use study will aid Henderson County Public Schools in strategic planning for facility use over the next 10 years.
The study, by the North Carolina State University Institute for Transportation Research and Education s Operations Research and Education Laboratory, or OREd, provides enrollment and staffing projections.
That information will be used with the results of a facility assessment completed two years ago to make decisions about school system initiatives, facilities use and building renovations as well as the consideration of new construction and reassignment, Superintendent John Bryant told the Times-News.
