  1. What is the significance of reporting the enrollment on the twentieth day of school?

    The Twentieth Day Membership Report is important to the District because it is utilized in Board Policies and it establishes a statistical benchmark on a year-to-year basis.

  3. I am a school principal and I think my projected enrollment listed in the annual twentieth day enrollment count report is not correct.

    The Demographics & Student Assignments Department enrollment projection should not be confused with the school budget forecast. The projected enrollment provided in the twentieth day enrollment count report reflects the official Demographics & Student Assignments Department enrollment forecasted immediately following the previous year’s twentieth day of enrollment.  This enrollment projection is provided in the twentieth day report to compare if enrollment came in higher or lower than anticipated. 

    Following the twentieth day of school, new five year enrollment projections are reported by the Demographics & Student Assignments Department to the Budget Department where Budget staff then applies a formula to the enrollment projection for each school to forecast the school’s annual budget based on student program participation at each school.

  4. How does a charter school determine capacity?  Does a charter school ever have to update their capacity?

    A charter school “capacity” is a student station number that is  included in the School Board approved charter contract with each individual charter school. A charter contract with student stations included is required by state statute 1002.33. State statute also requires that this capacity number be transmitted to the state on an annual basis as the capacity of the  charter school.

    Charter schools are not currently required to update their capacity number unless their charter contract is up for renewal. Charter school contracts renewals occur every five years unless a different contract is developed due to special circumstances as approved by the School Board.
