Mr. Meyer shared with the Board of Education some enrollment projection figures put together based upon information from the elementary districts and other sources. Two years ago, Mr. Meyer completed an enrollment projection and it resulted in a fairly accurate understanding of our growth. Obviously, the farther ahead we review, less accurate projections can be expected. Plans for future financial, staff employment, and facility decisions could depend largely on enrollment changes.
