He said many projected students are not attending traditional public schools, and he asked if there is a way to address this issue of class size and predict the necessary number of classes, all the while not knowing if students will actually enroll. He said it is unclear to know whether or not to build classrooms. Dr. Todd Wirt said OCS is analyzing the building capacity of the two largest charter schools have, and how much capacity those schools have left. He said OCS has a working relationship with the Charter Schools. Commissioner Jacobs said maybe staff from the County, OCS, and CHCCS need to meet and have a reality check, as the federal tax changes will likely kick in next year. He said if people are encouraged to go to private or charter schools, it is difficult to know how to project numbers for the public schools. Commissioner McKee said he is glad to hear that there is communication with the charter schools. 5. Public Hearings 5. Public Hearings a.
