SchoolSite 9.3 Release end of July Support for ArcGIS 9.3 and 9.2 Improved projection calculation of K classes Export projections to Excel ® New development summary report File geodatabase support Future Enhancements 4 school boundary support Automated mobility calculations utility Mapping center SchoolSite Desktop: Many New Improvements

Support for File Geodatabases DDP SchoolSite now supports all ESRI formats: Shapefiles Personal Geodatabases (Access MDB) File Geodatabases (larger/faster) ArcSDE Geodatabases Coverages (really, really old)

New Development Summary Report Create a Development Summary by Study Area with a few clicks 3, 5, 7 and 10 Year Summary will include study areas with development in the specified timeframe Maturation Summary includes Existing Units*, all Planned Units**, Additional Units and Total Units for EVERY study area *Exiting Units are available if an Assessor file was specified upon projection creation or input manually **Planned Units are available if a Tract file was specified upon projection creation or input manually

Export Projections/Reports to Excel ® Ability to export to Excel ® Redistricting Plan Reports Projection Factors Projection Results

Export Projections/Reports to Excel ® Export to Excel Student Population Projection Reports –District Wide –Attendance Area –Study Area

New Development Summary Report

Revised/improved K class projection Incoming Kindergarten Class has always been the most difficult grade to forecast Difficulty compounded in areas of future residential development DDP’s projection model had a slight, we are talking really small, flaw in calculating incoming kindergarteners in study areas with future development

Revised/improved K class projection Old Method for K class Kindergarten student population roughly correlates to births in the area. As births trends fluctuate so does K class population DDP model assumes K students show up five years after birth Future K class size calculated from births for the years following base year used in projection for each study area (Actual column in report)

Revised/improved K class projection Old Method for K class PROBLEM Study areas future containing residential development Evident especially in study areas that have no current kindergarteners When development has been – no new kindergartens are added to study area

Revised/improved K class projection THEORY New units = new students SYF calculates new students as units are occupied All new students will not arrive year of occupancy Mobility accounts for grade 1-12 students arriving after unit occupation Maybe a modified SYF will take care of the kindergarten students Apply Kindergarten SYF only to study areas containing development Account for all units built in a study area prior to incoming kindergarten year

Revised/improved K class projection SOLUTION (hear the angels sing) Calculate sum all units built prior to projected kindergarten class Total units built in all prior years

Revised/improved K class projection SOLUTION Multiply sum of units to a modified SYF Producing a future K class estimate for the study area Apply only to study areas with development Apply for year 2 and beyond of projections. Assumes kindergarteners produced by development prior to year 1 will already be in the student counts and SYF will account for year 1 students Applied in ADDITION too birth rate factors AND students produced by the current residential development KINDERGARTEN CLASS = BIRTH FACTORS + K STUDENTS FROM DEVELOPMENT AND STUDENT YIELD FACTOR + K STUDENTS FROM TOTAL UNITS IN PREVIOUS YEARS APPLIED ONLY TO YEARS 2 THROUGH 10 OF THE PROJECTION TO STUDY AREAS WITH FUTURE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

Revised/improved K class projection RESULTS Appears to calculate a more realistic student population projection REMEMBER 1,750 units have been added to the study area SAME 1,750 units have been added to the study area

Revised/improved K class projection LETS SEE THAT AGAIN!!! OLDNEW
