BOE to Consider Utilization Study Options This Week

The District 13 Board of Education's Educational Resources Committee is scheduled to meet twice this week to discuss a utilization study of the school district. 

According to the committee's agenda, utilization study presentations will be made on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, at 6 p.m., at the Coginchaug High School Library.

The meetings are open to the public.

A utilization study would be the second step in assessing the impact of the school district's declining enrollment, as well as other infrastructure needs following 2012's demographic study. The study estimated a 20 percent decline in student enrollment by the year 2021.
