13 <br /> Pre-K Students <br /> In recent years, Pre-K enrollment has been a topic of discussion with both school districts. At <br /> this time, SAPFO has not been amended to include Pre-K in the membership and capacity <br /> numbers. Pre-K enrollment has been included in discussions regarding changes in class size and <br /> school capacity. However, Pre-K numbers and impacts continue to be monitored by the <br /> SAPFOTAC. In addition, the annual report will begin to report Pre-K membership beginning <br /> with the 2019-20 school year,prior to COVID impacts. Pre-K students for each district is as <br /> follows: <br /> Chapeli i Orange County <br /> City Schools Schools <br /> School Year Number of Students Number of Students <br /> 2019-20 267 144 <br /> 2020-21 208 86 <br /> 2021-22 222 125 <br /> Charter and Private Schools <br /> Currently, there are two Charter Schools located in the Town of Hillsborough. Charter student <br /> membership for these two schools is as follows: <br /> 7017-18 <br /> Number of Students Number of Students <br /> 542 326 <br /> 655 +113 355 +29 <br /> 2019-20 715 +60 365 +10 <br /> 2020-21 747 (+32) 365* <br /> 2021-22 751 +4 365* <br /> *The Expedition School reached,full capacity of 365 students last school year <br /> Charter and private schools are not included as part of the SAPFO Annual Report and, as a <br /> result, their membership and capacity numbers are not included in future projections. SAPFO <br /> projections are used for projecting only public school capacity/construction needs. However, the <br /> SAPFO Technical Advisory Committee does monitor charter and private schools and their effect <br /> on student enrollment in both school districts. If a charter or private school were to close and a <br /> spike were to be realized in school enrollment, the student projections would likely accelerate the <br /> need for additional capacity in future years, but likely still within an appropriate time for CIP <br /> planning. Charter Schools are also monitored by the Department of Public Instruction(DPI) <br /> which provides pupil information,based on data received from Charter Schools located in <br /> Orange County, to the County for funding purposes. The County budgeted for charter schools as <br /> follows: <br /> Chapel bi i Orange County <br /> City Schools Schools <br /> Fiscal Year Number of Students Number of Students <br /> 2017-18 162 617 <br /> 2018-19 155 -7 769 +152 <br /> 2019-20 169 +14 843 +74 <br /> 2020-21 166 -3 885 +42 <br /> 2021-22 156 -10 919 +34 <br /> v <br />
