As time permits, the Boards may wish to <br />discuss one or both of these topics, and to identify any points that staffs may need to research <br />and bring back as the subject of subsequent reports. <br />a. Student Membership Projections <br />In accordance with the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Memorandum of Understanding, the <br />Planning/Schools Technical Advisory Committee has developed certified, updated 10-year <br />student population projections using the approved models and based on actual student <br />membership in both school systems as of November 15, 2002. Among other purposes, these <br />figures serve as a basis for identifying additional school capacity that should be addressed in <br />the development of the County's 2003-2013 Capital Investment Plan. County and school staff <br />will be available to respond to board questions about the revised student projection tables and <br />the process used to update those. <br />Attachment 4a - 1: CHCCS Student Population Projection Tables <br />Attachment 4a - 2: OCS Student Population Projection Tables <br />b. Clarification of CHCCS Student Population by Geographic Distribution <br />During recent months, there has been some confusion about actual and projected student <br />membership in the southern end of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School District. CHCCS staff will <br />make a brief presentation about the geographical distribution of current CHCCS students and <br />how that translates to the number of students who might attend a proposed third CHCCS high <br />school in the southern end of the district. <br />No Attachments <br />
