Enrollment Projections
As a benefit of affiliation, NESDEC prepares more than 300 enrollment projections and updates each year for school districts across New England. These ten-year projections provide affiliates with up-to-date enrollment information that boards and administrators can use for effective planning and resource allocation. This service is provided at no cost to affiliates.
Each district, in good standing, will receive an Enrollment Projection Report, which can easily be incorporated into electronic presentations for public meetings.
In addition, school-by-school enrollment projections are available. The cost for this service is based on the number of schools for which projections are prepared.
