Unneeded schools were built in 3 Ohio districts

Inaccurate enrollment projections leave new buildings without students
Aug. 16, 2011

From The Dayton Daily News: About $40 million worth of new schools in three Ohio districts have been taken out of service because projections used to build the facilities grossly miscalculated the student enrollments the districts would have. The Trotwood-Madison district has closed two elementary schools. The Springfield City School District and Tecumseh Local schools are repurposing recently built schools because they didn’t have the students to fill them. All four buildings opened in 2005 or 2006 and closed in the last two years.
