This report was intended to determine how the Albuquerque Public Schools will be affected by reduced enrollment and to provide a choice of positive steps for smoothing the adaptation of school operations. Concerns are outlined with regard to continued student population decline, staffing imbalances, continued inflation, and the anticipated struggle to cover the district's expenses despite an expected reduction in educational financial support. Recommendations are made relative to implementation of a manpower control program, and some suggestions are offered concerning the management of the district as enrollment diminishes. The appendix contains tables that present data on student enrollment, student/teacher ratios, and various financial measures for the Albuquerque Public Schools. Although the report was developed for use by the Albuquerque Public Schools as a managerial planning outline, the planning approach it demonstrates and the recommendations it presents may be of interest to school officials elsewhere.
