24. New Development Summary Report • Create a Development Summary by Study Area with a few clicks • 3, 5, 7 and 10 Year Summary will include study areas with development in the specified timeframe • Maturation Summary includes Existing Units*, all Planned Units**, Additional Units and Total Units for EVERY study area *Exiting Units are available if an Assessor file was specified upon projection creation or input manually **Planned Units are available if a Tract file was specified upon projection creation or input manually

25. Export Projections/Reports to Excel® • Ability to export to Excel® • Redistricting Plan Reports • Projection Factors • Projection Results

26. Export Projections/Reports to Excel® • Export to Excel • Student Population Projection Reports • District Wide • Attendance Area • Study Area

27. New Development Summary Report

28. Revised/improved K class projection • Incoming Kindergarten Class has always been the most difficult grade to forecast • Difficulty compounded in areas of future residential development • DDP’s projection model had a slight, we are talking really small, flaw in calculating incoming kindergarteners in study areas with future development

29. Revised/improved K class projection • Old Method for K class • Kindergarten student population roughly correlates to births in the area. • As births trends fluctuate so does K class population • DDP model assumes K students show up five years after birth • Future K class size calculated from births for the years following base year used in projection for each study area (Actual column in report)

30. Revised/improved K class projection • Old Method for K class • PROBLEM • Study areas future containing residential development • Evident especially in study areas that have no current kindergarteners • When development has been – no new kindergartens are added to study area

31. Revised/improved K class projection • THEORY • New units = new students • SYF calculates new students as units are occupied • All new students will not arrive year of occupancy • Mobility accounts for grade 1-12 students arriving after unit occupation • Maybe a modified SYF will take care of the kindergarten students • Apply Kindergarten SYF only to study areas containing development • Account for all units built in a study area prior to incoming kindergarten year

32. Total units built in all prior years Revised/improved K class projection • SOLUTION (hear the angels sing) • Calculate sum all units built prior to projected kindergarten class

33. Revised/improved K class projection KINDERGARTEN CLASS = BIRTH FACTORS+ K STUDENTS FROM DEVELOPMENT AND STUDENT YIELD FACTOR + K STUDENTS FROM TOTAL UNITS IN PREVIOUS YEARS APPLIED ONLY TO YEARS 2 THROUGH 10 OF THE PROJECTION TO STUDY AREAS WITH FUTURE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT • SOLUTION • Multiply sum of units to a modified SYF • Producing a future K class estimate for the study area • Apply only to study areas with development • Apply for year 2 and beyond of projections. Assumes kindergarteners produced by development prior to year 1 will already be in the student counts and SYF will account for year 1 students • Applied in ADDITION too birth rate factors AND students produced by the current residential development

34. REMEMBER 1,750 units have been added to the study area SAME 1,750 units have been added to the study area OLD NEW Revised/improved K class projection • RESULTS • Appears to calculate a more realistic student population projection

35. OLD NEW Revised/improved K class projection LETS SEE THAT AGAIN!!!
