  7. Demographic Analysis and Racial Impact

  8. Topics Analyzed by Demographer • Population trends of Maywood, Hackensack, Dumont, Paramus, Midland Park, and Carlstadt-East Rutherford • Relevant Demographic Characteristics in each community (e.g., race, education, income, median housing price, etc.) • Maywood has become more racially diverse from 2000-2010 (85% White-2000, 75% White-2010) • Midland Park has lowest foreign-born percentage, highest income, second-highest home prices, largest educated population, and largest White percentage of five communities.

  9. Topics Analyzed by Demographer • Historical enrollment trends (2012-13 to 2017-18) in each school district. • Maywood 9-12 population has been declining (298 in 2012-13, 250 in 2017-18). • Hackensack HS enrollment no distinct pattern (1,769-1,888). • Enrollment in potential receiving districts were also analyzed. • Birth counts in each community were used to project kindergarten students five years later.

  10. Topics Analyzed by Demographer • New housing in each community • Potential for more than 4,400 units in Hackensack through redevelopment projects. • Enrollment Projections in each district • 257-283 Maywood HS students are projected • Capacity Analysis – Will other potential schools be able to accommodate Maywood students? • Hackensack HS currently has “unhoused” students with Maywood. • Midland Park and Dumont do not have adequate capacity to accommodate Maywood students. • Paramus and Becton have ample room to accommodate Maywood students.

  11. Topics Analyzed by Demographer • Racial Impact • Maywood (K-8) is becoming more diverse (2012-13- 53% W, 10% B, 25% H, 12% As; 2017-18- 42% W, 10% B, 30% H, 18% As) • Maywood HS Students in 2017-18 (48% W, 28% H, 11% B, 8% As, 5% Multi-Race, 52% Minority) • Impact of removal of Maywood students from Hackensack HS- No negative racial impact on Hackensack HS, remains racially diverse Impact of Maywood students on new high school and inclusion of Maywood Students on overall student body. • Paramus HS (59% W, 11% H, 2% B, 28% As, 41% Minority) is not as racially diverse as: • Becton (50% W, 33% H, 7% B, 10% As, 51% Minority)

  12. Topics Analyzed by Demographer • How does Hackensack HS compare? (16% W, 55% H, 22% B, 6% As, 84% Minority) • Conclusion • Paramus and Becton high schools both have adequate capacity. • Becton has greatest racial diversity and should be considered as potential school for Maywood HS students.

  13. Financial Analysis

  14. Key Assumptions • Estimates of future enrollment were prepared using the Cohort-Survival Ratio method. This assumes that the historical ratios for each community, including the underlying ratios that impact eighth to ninth grade progression, will continue into the future. • State aid for each district, including State aid for existing debt service before and after severance of the sending-receiving relationship, will approximate the funding that existed in the districts in the 2016-17 school year.

  15. Key Assumptions • Educational programs were assumed to be equivalent to those that existed in the Maywood, Hackensack, Carlstadt-East Rutherford Regional, Dumont, Midland Park, and Paramus School Districts during the 2016-17 school year. • Instruction in the districts after severance of the sending-receiving relationship is assumed to involve approximately the same number of certificated staff per pupil as in the respective districts during recent school years. The cost of any projected increase or decrease in certificated staff is based on the approximate median staff salary, which reflects a long-term average cost rather than the specific salary of a new hire or a departing staff member.

  16. Key Assumptions • Tuition, at the State approved rate per pupil, for students under any of the scenarios is based on a sending-receiving relationship, with tuition payments to the respective district based upon the enrollment numbers projected. • Prior years’ surplus is not used, nor is any additional surplus generated in any year.

  17. Financial Conclusions • Hackensack will see a slight increase in taxes if the current agreement were severed. • A new agreement with either Midland Park or Paramus would cause an increase in Maywood’s tax levy. • Maywood would see a small annual savings (approximately $188,000) if it partnered with Dumont.

  18. Financial Conclusions • Carlstadt-east Rutherford agreed to a tuition of $10,500 per pupil. • With this negotiated tuition rate, Maywood will see significant annual savings (approximately $947,000). • Carlstadt-East Rutherford will see annual savings (approximately $213,000).

  19. Educational Analysis

  20. Recommendation: Sever relationship with Hackensack • Hackensack is over-crowded. • Future grade configuration at Hackensack is uncertain. • Hackensack provides little articulation opportunities. • Hackensack lags behind on educational offerings of neighboring school districts.

  21. Who would be the new partner? • All four high schools studied to serve as the new partner for Maywood’s high school students would provide a program that would be equal to or better than the one they currently receive in Hackensack.

  22. Options Considered • Midland Park: Not recommended due to lack of capacity as well as racial analysis. • Dumont: Not recommended due to capacity as well as racial analysis.

  23. Options Considered • Paramus: Not recommended due to cost and racial analysis. While Paramus has room to educate Maywood’s students, the District would not agree to a tuition amount that would allow Maywood to save money. It also lacks the diversity found at Becton Regional HS.

  24. Recommendation: Becton Regional HS • Becton has a well-designed program. • Becton recently underwent a $27 million renovation. • Becton has excellent articulation with its feeder districts and transition offerings.

  25. Recommendation: Becton Regional HS • Becton has agreed to a tuition cost that will benefit Maywood and allow it to invest further in its K-8 offerings. • Becton has the space to educate Maywood students. • Becton has stated that it is ready, willing, and able to accept Maywood’s students.

  26. Overall Feasibility Study Recommendation • Maywood should pursue termination of the sending-receiving relationship with Hackensack and establish a sending relationship with Becton Regional HS.
