District Consolidation / Deconsolidation Studies
One of the more complex issues facing some school districts is whether or not to join with other school districts in a regional or cooperative arrangement. The reasons for exploring consolidation/ deconsolidation can be many and varied. For over sixty years NESDEC has been assisting school districts to understand and manage difficult issues like consolidation/deconsolidation. NESDEC's consolidation/deconsolidation studies are tailored to meet the needs of the district. A typical district consolidation/deconsolidation study would include an analysis of:
- governance, including central office functions
- business functions
- special education including Medicare reimbursements
- teacher compensation and benefits
- staffing patterns
- education programming
- professional development
- educational technology
- transitional issues
A NESDEC district consolidation/deconsolidation study results in a comprehensive report that focuses on data-driven options and alternative models for consideration by boards and administrators.
