Enrollment Projections
In order to identify future concerns related to student enrollments, the school system annually prepares a ten-year enrollment projection document. These projections are developed utilizing the Cohort Survival Methodology. This method utilizes historic enrollments, historic births, and historic trends in the progression of students from one grade to the next to project future enrollments.
The 2022-23 to 2031-32 enrollment projections were included as part of the 2022 to 2031 Educational Facilities Master Plan document that was approved by the Board of Education at their June 8, 2022 meeting. Here is a link to the enrollment projection document.

Educational Facilities Master Plan
The primary purpose of this Educational Facilities Master Plan is to identify the present and future facility needs of Carroll County Public Schools. This plan addresses the need to provide capacity for projected student enrollments, the need to maintain and repair existing school buildings, and the need to provide an adequate learning environment that meets the requirements of the current instructional program.
The Board of Education approved the 2022 - 2031 Educational Facilities Master Plan at their June 8, 2022 meeting.

Capital Improvement Program
The school system's capital budget funds the construction of new school facilities, the construction of additions, the renovation of existing schools, and the replacement of major building systems. The funding is provided by the State and County governments. Each year, in October, the Board of Education approves a Capital Improvement Program Request that is submitted to both the State and County. This document includes a capital budget for the upcoming fiscal year, and a five-year capital improvement program for future years.
The 2024 Capital Budget and 2025 - 2029 CIP Request was approved by the Board of Education at their October 12, 2022 meeting,
