RFP E-2526-005 Ten Year Enrollment Study

The New Milford Public Schools seeks a qualified consulting firm to produce a comprehensive ten‑year enrollment forecast and assess current school facility utilization. The study must disaggregate enrollment by grade, school, and demographic variables, evaluate capacity of existing facilities, propose alternative configurations, and incorporate stakeholder input through focus groups. Deliverables include graphical data presentations and a written report with actionable recommendations. • Produce 10‑year enrollment projections with demographic breakdowns (race/ethnicity, language, poverty, etc.). • Review current school facilities, resources, and technology infrastructure to assess capacity and condition. • Develop alternative grade‑grouping and geographic configurations, including vocational, technical, and magnet program considerations. • Conduct focus groups with staff, parents, and community members to gather qualitative input. • Deliver a final report and visual presentations within a two‑month timeline.
