WITH ENROLLMENT FIGURES DECLINING IS A $60 MILLION MIDDLE SCHOOL NEEDED IN GLOUCESTER CITY?…A 1979 District Master Plan Says NO!
Category Bills Point of View
By Bill Cleary
I was clearing out a file cabinet recently and found a copy of the Gloucester City School District Facilities Master Plan prepared in 1979 by Robert F. Strauss and Associates.
Looking through that 100 page document I found it astonishing how close the author came to predicting the decline in student enrollment over a 10 year period beginning in 1978 and ending in 1988. In 1978 the total enrollment was 2493 and it was predicted that figure would decrease to 1854 by the year 1988.
