New subdivisions will fuel population and enrollment boom, officials say

CHAMPAIGN – School officials say population trends and new development in Champaign and Savoy that emerged after demographer Robert Dentler completed his study justify two new schools.

Chief financial officer Gene Logas said Dentler's study, completed in 2004, projects 202 new elementary students for the Champaign district between now and 2008-09, when the new schools would be completed.
