At this time, staff believes these are temporary impacts and a <br /> majority of these students will return when in-person learning commences on a stable basis. <br /> However, the loss of students has impacted the SAPFO 10-year projections by decreasing <br /> future student growth rates and service levels and pushing building capacity needs beyond the <br /> 10-year projection period. Recognizing concerns with these projections not being constructive in <br /> planning for the future or when students return to the classroom, Orange County Planning staff <br /> drafted hypothetical 2021-22 student membership and grade level numbers in order to generate <br /> alternative 10-year student projections. Additional information can be found on page iii of the <br /> Executive Summary. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Current 10-year student growth projections show no future capacity <br /> needs for additional schools in the CHCCS District and OCS District. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to <br /> this item: <br /> • GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY <br /> The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary <br /> for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their <br /> dependents. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There are no Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal <br /> impacts applicable to this item. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve the 2022 SAPFOTAC <br /> Annual Report and certify those aspects of the Report detailed in the summary table above. <br />
