By the year 2025, Marble Falls Independent School District enrollment may have grown seven to 10 percent, according to a study performed by a College Station demographics firm.
To determine the district's capacity to handle this anticipated growth, the Board of Trustees voted at the Tuesday, July 19, regular board meeting to contract with Alpha Facilities Solutions to perform a Facilities Condition Assessment to evaluate the condition of the district's current facilities and to create a comprehensive plan to address needs as well as routine maintenance for the short and long term.
Superintendent Dr. Chris Allen said the purpose of the study by Population and Survey Analysts (PASA) was to anticipate and plan for future student needs that may result from enrollment growth.
