| Abstract | This guidebook for managing declining enrollment in an era of fiscal retrenchment is presented in three sections. Section 1 describes the extent of enrollment decline; analyzes its causes, including changes in birth rates, women's work roles, and migration and housing patterns; and explores its effects, including reduced school budgets and staffs, restricted class offerings, and increased class size. Special attention is paid to the problems associated with school closing, particularly when urban schools are affected. Section 2 presents suggestions for coping with declining enrollment. These include guidelines for enrollment prediction; plans for involving the community in the strengthening of programs through needs assessment, goal setting, strategy determination, and evaluation of the results of changes; suggestions for staff involvement in retrenchment planning; strategies for reducing the professional staff; and recommendations for using a task force approach to ensure community involvement and communication. Section 3 notes contributions that state education agencies can make to combat enrollment decline problems. Among these are improving forecasting methods, providing planning assistance and special services, and developing more flexible staffing policies. (Author/PGD) |
