In the last decade, Stamford has been transformed from a suburban town to an urban center of national renown. A responsive yet directive public school system is critical in preserving a feeling of community. The Stanford Educational Planning Committee, a team of interdisciplinary professionals and a broad-based community group, examined trends in the environment and their effect upon public education in Stamford, and proposed policy changes. Trends identified include changes from construction of single-family homes to apartment building, an increase in corporate offices, and erosion of support for education despite a sound fiscal base. This last volume of the committee's four-part report contains recommendations regarding the physical facilities of the Stamford public schools and a description of the methods used to develop the Stamford Facilities Utilization Plan, designed to create a desegregated, cost-effective, quality educational system. This plan was developed through a five-step process: (1) determination of projected demand for services; (2) determination of projected supply of services; (3) analysis of supply versus demand; (4) comparative analysis of schools; and (5) development of policy options. The report concludes with recommendations in the areas of curriculum development and policy options for strengthening and phasing out of facilities. Numerous tables and figures supplement the text. An appendix provides a list of the study working papers. (LHW)
