OR/Ed. study chosen for publication
in TRR Journal
The OR/Ed. paper, "Planning for Enrollment Growth: Using Land Use Data to Determine Future School Sites," was chosen from 2,800 global submissions and included as one of 704 papers for publication in the 2008 Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board
Authored by OR/Ed. program manager Michael A. Miller, the study findings represent nearly two-years of research on the growing school population in Wake County, North Carolina. Miller outlines how the the Lab's data-drive decision science tools will help county administrators meet the challenges over the next 20 years.

The Operations Research and Education Laboratory (OREd) works with K-12 school systems on issues pertaining to student reassignment and long range school planning.
OREd's Integrated Planning for School and Community (IPSAC) incorporates enrollment forecasting, land use studies, residential growth forecasts, optimal school siting, optimally balanced attendance areas, and "what-if" attendance scenarios to provide school districts with school planning solutions.
Using proven mathematical techniques and state-of-the-art decision science applications, OREd assists school districts dealing with difficult school redistricting plans and school planning challenges that are often conducted in a poorly articulated environment and with conflicting objectives. By approaching projects quantitatively as well as qualitatively, OREd can provide school planning solutions that are driven by data and supported by policies.
