Résumé

This paper addresses the overcrowding present in elementary and secondary schools
in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. The goal is to minimize the difference between
a given school’s capacity and its enrollment through the construction of new
schools, expansion of existing schools, and the redrawing of catchment zones. This
study covers the years 2021-2025, and uses forecasts of population based off of
government census tract data using linear regression. The issue is formulated
as an integer programming model where the binary decision variables indicate
whether or not to build a school at a predetermined location or expand a speci1c
school, and three solutions are presented for three levels of capital budget. Afterwards,
the catchment zones are reworked based off of one of the solutions.
