RKR Planning Services

North Paulding School Cluster

How can public school systems make informed decisions regarding the best
use of their facilities? At RKR, our Planning Services team has been working to successfully answer this question by taking into account multiple factors such as census data, surrounding school districts, county birth data, home sales, etc, to create custom-designed solutions that meet the specific needs of each school district.

For example, with the Polk School District we evaluated individual school enrollment history with anticipated area changes so that a correlation was developed that placed students in their zoned school. The final documents contained easy to read graphs so the data could be interpreted.

For the Paulding County School District, our Planning Services team provided projection data to support the staff allocation process, which also helped to develop long range planning opportunities.

In addition, a facilities study that we produced for Decatur City (Ala.)school district provided vital information in preparing the final document for its Board-approved 2020 Strategic Improvement Plan.

By taking into account multiple factors such as the above, RKR Planning Services can provide the data needed to make the most informed decisions for your school district.

In the past few years alone, we've provided planning services for over 20 school districts in Georgia and Alabama, both small (under 3,000 students) and large (more than 30,000 students), assisting with:

Enrollment projections
School zone modifications
Master planning
Analysis of individual building capacities
Facility assessments
And much more

How can we help you? To learn more about what RKR has to offer in this area, please call Steve Bennett at 770-537-1845.

Casey Pollard, VP of Strategic Planning and Development of R.K. Redding Construction, had the honor of delivering a $1,200 donation from the AGC YLP to the the Construction Technology Program taught by Chad Pruitt at Spalding High School. The donation went towards purchasing materials for Pruitt’s 3rd level coursework. “I can’t thank AGC of Georgia enough for not only the donation, but for what they do for my students and the classroom,” stated Mr. Pruitt. “There is an obvious skills gap in the construction industry and the AGCGA are forming partnerships throughout the state with its member companies and local school systems to get the word out that they want our students.” The AGC considers “workforce development” as a broad umbrella that encompasses both those activities that encourage students in elementary, middle or high school to consider the potential of a career in construction and those that help prepare young people for their first jobs in the industry, either through c...
