MDP APPROVAL LETTER 6.7 May 6, 2026 Dr. Micah Stauffer Superintendent Wicomico County Public Schools P. O. Box 1538 Salisbury, MD 21802-1538 Dear Dr. Micah Stauffer Thank you for submitting Wicomico County Public Schools enrollment projections for 2026-2035, in accordance with the regulations of the Interagency Commission on School Construction (IAC). The Maryland Department of Planning reviewed your submission and compared your data to the school enrollment projections generated by the State Data & Analysis Center (see attached) and have found the difference to be less than five percent for the years 2026-2035. Therefore, your projections can be used to prepare your 2026 Educational Facilities Master Plan (EFMP) and 2027 Capital Improvement Program submissions. When preparing your EFMP submission, please ensure the 2025 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 2025/2026 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 alfred.sundara@maryland.gov or (410) 767-4456.
