The Maryland Department of Planning reviewed your submission and compared your data to the school enrollment projections generated by the State Data Center (see attached) and have found the difference to be less than five percent for the years 2024-2033. Therefore, your projections can be used to prepare your 2024 Educational Facilities Master Plan (EFMP) and 2025 Capital Improvement Program submissions. When preparing your EFMP submission, please ensure the 2023 actual enrollment on your calculation worksheet is consistent with the official enrollment figure generated by the Maryland State Department of Education. The Maryland Department of Planning recognizes the Maryland State Department of Education’s K-12 enrollment figure as the official enrollment for the 2023/2024 school year. We look forward to receiving your EFMP in July. A copy of this letter and its attachment should be included in the plan. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at chuck.boyd@maryland.gov or (410) 767-1401. Sincerely, Charles W.
