Right Sizing School District Consolidation
The phrase right sizing has seemed to evolve in our society from the term downsizing, which struck fear into all that were in ear shoot. Right sizing is not about down sizing your district; it's about adjusting the needs of the facilities and developing a plan to assist the districts in meeting the dynamic needs of change, population, funding, and expectations
This is not about an expanding district; it's about developing a managed plan, one that will help a district meet the operational finances currently available from the state within the existing facilities. A key to this plan is identifying the populations and the facility locations, size and educational structure necessary for the population changes. The master plan for "right-sizing" will represent a coordinated set of actions concerning re-deploying facility assets to meet the strategic goals each school district has established. The feasibility of these actions are based in terms of project scope, cost, and time.
