Closing Points/Summarizing Statements

 Based upon the work of our demographer the

current trend in birthrates projects an average decline of approximately 23 students annually.

 The GM Re-Development although it is anticipated

to begin sometime in 2015-16, it appears that it will be sometime before the district will be impacted with students.

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Closing Points/Summarizing Statements

 The data presented suggests that facilities-wise, the district is in a good

position to handle this development.

 The majority of the students would not be expected until the latter part of

the next decade.

 A “baby boom” while possible is not likely  If SEPTA does improve the train station, a “transit village” situation could

develop which would impact projections.

DISTRICT’S NEXT STEPS:

  • Continue to monitor the development.
  • Communicate with relevant stakeholders.
  • Forward new information to the demographer on a regular basis.
  • Maintain an Ad Hoc Facilities committee to hold discussions on

developments as they arise.

  • Maintain a consistent “School-Focused” approach to the project.
