Planning

The Planning Department of the Operations Division is committed to the success of District students, families, and faculty by ensuring that present and future generations have access to educational facilities wherein they can both learn and thrive. In close collaboration with state and local governments and organizations, our dedicated team of researchers, analysts, and cartographers gather and interpret geographic-based data that is then translated into student enrollment and capacity forecasts.

We further contribute to the vision and mission of the District by creating and maintaining resources such as reports, documents, maps, and school locator tool below.

Current Forecast Overview

 

Long-term planning within the DeKalb County School District's Operations Department is essential to ensuring that facilities remain safe, functional, and aligned with the district’s evolving educational goals. Routine, in-depth facility assessments and the use of adequacy scores provide a data-driven foundation for identifying infrastructure needs, prioritizing investments, and promoting equity across all schools. By integrating these evaluations into a comprehensive planning process, the district can responsibly allocate resources, extend the life of its assets, and support a learning environment that reflects both current and future community expectations.
