The full annual SAPFOTAC report, which will include 10-Year <br />41 <br />student membership projections, will be completed in early 2018. TheCAPS (Certificate of <br />42 <br />Adequate Public Schools) system is updated with actual membership and capacity figures after <br />43 <br />the BOCC approves the information submitted by the school districts. <br />44 <br />45 <br />The chart in Attachment 2 shows the Capacity and Membership for each school level in both <br />46 <br />school districts and the increase (or decrease) over the November 15, 2016 membership.
