Abstract
ORPS is highly regarded in the ORville community for providing a quality education that inspires and equips all students to achieve success in their learning and life endeavors. Population growth in the region and strong demand for an ORPS education have led to growing student enrollments. Accommodating this growth is a challenge for ORPS. When new campuses are needed, the process of acquiring land and building a new school takes years. The district must continually anticipate where in town enrollments will grow and monitor existing capacities against projected enrollments to ensure that capacity is in the right locations and at the right grade levels to meet demand.
