The district is interested in hearing from demographers on alternate methods of projection
that would provide greater accuracy thee to ten years out reducing statistical variances
between actual and projected enrollments. Additionally, we are seeking to improve
accuracy of projections by building, particularly at the elementary level. We are hoping
to identify a methodology that can take into account:
In-migration
Zoning density
Housing turns (particularly projecting the impact of in-migration upon the return
of the local housing market)
Student population growth vs. overall population growth
Current census data (if available)
Any other factors the vendor deems necessary or worthy of bringing to the
districts attention.
