Enrollment study ordered for proposed Danbury Career Academy

During the Danbury Board of Education's meeting last week, Superintendent Kevin Walston was asked about continued enrollment growth in the district and how to accommodate all of the new students. He acknowledged that for years the City has out-performed the projections of demographers.  But enrollment studies are what's used to justify a building project.  Right now, the City can justify the building of a combined 1,100 student high school and 360 student middle school, the Career Academy.  Walston says when the numbers justify it, Danbury could convert the building into a 9 through 12 grade high school and the City would be well positioned to create a middle school based on the proposed land purchase.  But he says at this point it's premature to talk about building new middle school.  The Danbury Career Academy project does require an updated enrollment study, which Walston says will get underway soon.
