1.4 Questions of the Study
During the conduct of the School District of Bruce, Ladysmith-Hawkins
School District, and Weyerhaeuser Area School District Consolidation
Feasibility Study, the Project Consultants identified select questions to aid
in investigating the purpose of and needs for the study. Subsequently, the
Project Consultants gathered and analyzed data which would permit the
development of findings, conclusions, alternatives, and recommendations
for review and consideration by the School Boards and District
Administrators of the participating school district organizations.
The specific questions prepared to guide the Project Consultants and
furnish substantial content for the Consolidation Feasibility Study
document were as follows:
What is the current status of each school district’s enrollment,
enrollment trends, finances, programs, services, staffing,
organizational configuration, facilities, and related issues
Is there probable cause for either/both of the school districts to
consider the possibility of future consolidation
What conclusions may be drawn about future program and service
benefits and opportunities for students served if the original school
districts were to consider consolidation
