10 <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 /> Chapel bo <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 /> School Year Number of Students Number of Students <br /> 2017-18 542 326 <br /> 2018-19 655 (+113) 355 (+29) <br /> 2019-20 715 (+60) 365 (+10) <br /> 2020-21 747 (+32) 365* <br /> 2021-22 751 +4 365* <br /> *The Ex edition 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 /> Jkfhap• Hill-Carrboro Orange County <br /> Schools o <br /> 11 <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 />
