Published in conjuction with a planning assistance manual (EA008692), this case study examines the impact of declining enrollment on one suburban Minnesota school district. To cope with enrollment decline, the district sought to maintain a balanced budget and to preserve as nearly as possible its existing educational programs. It also sought legislative relief from expenditure constraints that would have placed it in a fiscally untenable position. To balance the budget, the district adopted school closing procedures later utilized by other school districts. These procedures, along with other planning techniques dealing with program reduction and personnel development, are summarized in this document. The intent of the five case studies in this collection is to assist school officials and interested citizens in dealing with problems associated with enrollment decline. (Author/DS)
