BACKGROUND The Student Advisory Council is comprised of 4-5 high school students from each of our high schools that were chosen by teachers and administrators. The Student Advisory Council was started by Don Haddad eleven years ago so that students could give input to the superintendents about what students were feeling about the District. 6.2 MEMORANDUM DATE: April 11, 2018 TO: Board of Education FROM: Dr. Don Haddad, Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: District Enrollment Projections 2018-2022 PURPOSE To provide the Board of Education a report on enrollment projections for 2018-2022. BACKGROUND The Planning Department and the Long Range Facility Planning Committee (LRFPC) have evaluated a wide variety of indicators and developed enrollment projections for 2018-2022. The basis for determining these projections is a cohort-survival statistical model developed by the Planning Department that analyzes the student progression ratios and migration on a grade-by-grade basis. As part of this analysis, the following are also evaluated: Monthly enrollment counts; the number of lots with final plat approval; the number of building permits issued and anticipated by the local municipalities; birth data; private, charter and home school enrollment; open enrollment in and out the District; the real estate market; changes in student yield; potential educational/programmatic changes; economic forecasts developed by other entities; and impacts from new schools and attendance boundary changes. FACTORS OF GROWTH: The tables below identify a number of the factors reviewed by the Planning Department and the LRFPC which impact enrollment in the St. Vrain Valley School District. While last year’s growth was lower than in past years, there are signs of a stronger growth ahead based on the following: Communities are projecting 2,111 new housing units in 2018 which continues an upward trend in the issuance of permits for new housing. Colorado is expected to see over 43,400 new housing units in 2018 (up from 9,355 in 2009), fueled to a large degree by in migration. Referrals for future housing projects have taken an upward turn. Plans for over 8,335 new housing units have been received and reviewed which equates to over 3,000 new students. Job growth is on the rise in the St. Vrain area with over 700 net primary jobs gained over the past two years. Colorado is expected to add 47,100 jobs in 2018 which is a pace that will likely keep it in the top 10 nationally (CU Leeds). Greater increase in net in migration is being predicted by the Colorado State Demographer for the state of Colorado. Net migration equaled 10,313 in 2003, 35,300 in 2011, but is now expected to exceed 60,000 for each of the next two years. Most of this migration will occur in the Front Range. The State Demographer identified that 87% of the forecasted growth of 460,000 additional residents by 2020 will be located in the Front Range. While birth rates are not going up, births numbers in Colorado are expected to increase from around 64,000 in 2012 to 68,000 in 2019. Annual births will also be up in Boulder and Weld County, with Boulder County going from 2,832 births in 2017 to 3,551 in 2025 and Weld County up from 4,323 births to 5,569 in 2025. New school construction due to open in the fall of 2018 will allow more capacity for students both from within the District and from outside the District boundaries. In each year that new school capacity has been added to the District, significant increases in enrollment have occurred. While there may be factors that moderate growth or cause growth to come in unevenly, such as worldwide markets/influences, labor availability for jobs, lag between housing construction and increased student yields, housing costs, the overall prospect is for steady growth in St. Vrain as it moves towards its build-out population of approximately 80,000 students (based on current community comprehensive plans). Based on this review, a growth of an additional 344 students is expected for the 2018 school year, with a total enrollment of 31,715 (not including pre-school students). By 2022, District enrollment is expected to grow by an average of 687 students per year to reach 34,808 students.
