School Board Approves Contract for Demographic Study

TYLER — The Tyler ISD Board of Trustees Thursday accepted and approved the proposal of Population and Survey Analysts (PASA) in the amount of $58,650 to provide a complete demographic study projecting student populations, long range facility needs, and attendance zone planning through 2020. PASA was first selected in November 2003 to provide the demographic study that school officials say enabled the district to plan appropriately for the construction of new schools in the 2004 bond issue. PASA has provided periodic updates to their demographic study since the initial study was conducted.

School officials say PASA was selected based on the quality of its study and the firm�s reputation with districts and state agencies. According to information from the school district, the data provided by PASA�s earlier studies have proven to be thorough and accurate. The demographic study will be paid for from the bond funds.
