Abstract: | With declining enrollments, metropolitan school districts are faced with problems of property disposition. A school facilities planning and management model utilizing a linear programming approach enables assessment of alternative uses for school facilities. The objective in this study is to minimize expenditures subject to constraints which include a limit to distance traveled, racial ethnic quotas, and overhead costs, such as transportation, maintenance and energy. An economic post-optimal cost sensitivity analysis of the proposed options is presented and also a comparison of this approach to school management with others found in the literature. |
