This paper summarizes the methodology and preliminary results from a nearly 2-year study for the Wake County Public Schools System in North Carolina. The size and complexity of this system have provided the opportunity for the Operations Research and Education Laboratory to expand the successful Integrated Planning for School and Community program to encompass a projected enrollment of more than 250,000 students in 2025 and a diverse network of municipality and county land use plans. The goals of this project are to provide flexible, data-driven decision science tools for the location of future school sites and attendance boundaries and to cultivate an environment among Wake County planners and school administration that will foster effective communication of common goals.
