Gordon - SAPFO Report Revisions -Page 2 <br />II. 2004 Annual Report <br />A, Student Projections (pages 27-3.3) <br />My main suggestion for change was to correct the inaccurate language describing <br />the student projections for the Orange County Middle Schools. The report had originally <br />indicated that the projections showed a relatively slow but constant growth of about two <br />classrooms per year. However, as the chart for "OCS Student Projections (2003)" on <br />page .32 shows, the projections really show a decrease and some fluctuations. The actual <br />number of'students for 2003-2004 is 1671, Projections for the next year show 1627 <br />students, a decrease of 44, The projected number of students does not come back to <br />200.3-2004 levels until 2009-2010 (1679 students), In addition, the report initially had <br />given 120% as the level of service for the year prior to the opening of the new noddle <br />school #.3, whereas now the correct level of 112% has been stated. <br />B. Corrections in Numbers, Changes in Format, and Clarifications <br />In my experience, the usual practice for writing technical reports dictates that one <br />should use systematic data that is gathered and reported for all levels. That is why I <br />asked that "editorial" language be removed, If systematic data is available in the future, it <br />could be reported. I also suggested corrections to some inaccurate numbers and <br />typographical errors, <br />
