The Town of Brewster, in conjunction with the Nauset Public Schools and the Towns of Orleans, Eastham, and Wellfleet, is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to complete a study that seeks to gather and analyze data for the elementary schools in all four towns regarding operating expenses, staffing levels, student-to-teacher ratios, enrollment trends, facility utilization, physical building conditions, anticipated capital expenditures, and student transportation systems to identify potential efficiencies across the schools and help inform future decision about opportunities to reduce elementary school capital and operating expenses while maintaining the district’s high educational standards. This study would also help assemble and account for similar data for the middle school, which is facing comparable challenges in terms of managing operating expenses, declining enrollments, and looming capital needs to better understand the extent to which greater efficiencies could be gained across the entire district.
