Dear Saddle River Community,
We would like to share an update regarding the district’s demographic study and projected student enrollment associated with the proposed housing developments.
Dr. Richard Grip of Statistical Forecasting LLC recently confirmed additional information with the Borough regarding the 15 supportive affordable housing units within the AvalonBay development. These units are designated for adults ages 21 and older with special needs and, therefore, are not expected to generate school-aged children.
As a result, Dr. Grip has revised the housing analysis and enrollment projections to reflect this clarification.
The adjustment is noted, resulting in a reduction of 10 students in the projected PK–12 enrollment by the final year of the study.
We are sharing these revised figures to ensure our community has access to the most accurate and up-to-date information as we continue planning for the district’s future enrollment and financial needs.
Thank you for your continued engagement and support as we work to provide transparent, accurate information throughout this process.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jennifer Macones
Superintendent/Principal
Saddle River School District
