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 <br /> vIange County <br /> City 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 /> 2022-23 205 (+49) 951 (+32) <br /> 2023-24 210 (+5) 999 (+48) <br /> 2024-25 231 (+21) 1091 (+92) <br /> Although charter and private schools numbers are not collected for SAPFO purposes, impacts <br /> due to enrollment at these schools are accounted for in SAPFO process with the annual reporting <br /> of student membership and growth rates contained in the 10-year student projections. <br /> Future Residential Development <br /> iv <br />
