ARUNDEL — Planning Decisions consultant Charles Lawton said
Tuesday that Arundel should expect steady enrollment rates for the next 10
years.
"Arundel, to a certain extent, has attracted new residents
and I project a steady enrollment rate," Lawton said, speaking to members of the
Arundel Withdrawal Committee about the district's future population, should it
leave RSU 21.
Describing the "steady enrollment rate" as approximately 35
students entering school each year, with numbers ranging from 33 to 38 for
specific years within the projected 10-year forecast, Lawton said it's difficult
to make predictions so far ahead in the future but noted that the cost of
education ultimately comes down to the number of students within the school and
property value in the town.
The meeting, held on Tuesday evening at Mildred L. Day
School, was the first time the Arundel Withdrawal Committee heard from
Lawton.
