Maricopa Unified School District is experiencing slower but substantial housing and school-aged population growth.
“A slightly larger portion of the increase” was offset this year by charter schools and other alternative education options, according to an expert who addressed the school board Thursday.
But it all could change in a month, a year or several years, a demographics specialist told the school board during a work session.
“One thing about Maricopa is it changes every day,” said Rick Brammer, principal at Applied Economics LLC. “If it didn’t look like it today, then it might look like that tomorrow.”
