5 Demographic Study 2015 The Demographic Study was commissioned as a follow up to the Efficiency Task Force s work in the spring of 2015 during which boundaries and growth were discussed. The entire demographic study may be found at schools.org/page/ Enrollment Change In every school year, enrollment has increased over the previous year.

As a result, elementary enrollment would decline without home building and turnover. New home construction o Enrollment change has mirrored new home building. For every 100 newer homes, there are an estimated 80 children. o Without sufficient levels of residential construction, enrollments would decline. o Home-owners may age in place, in which case households will contain more empty nests. Should housing turnover occur, enrollments could increase without home building (e.g., Wayne Township, Marion County). Enrollment change o Residential building and expected infrastructure improvements will encourage growth in school enrollment. o As larger cohorts progress and replace smaller cohorts, more robust growth will occur at the upper grade levels.
