Student Growth Projections DOE - COFTE Projections 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 7,969 8,211 8,455 8,744 8,995 This year’s COFTE (Capital Outlay Full Time Equivalent) projections indicate a District-wide 1,026 student increase between 2015-16 and 2019-20. Walton County School District has experienced positive student growth over the past five years. This trend is expected to continue. COFTE projections are based on a cohort survival method, which is based largely upon live births and deaths. To ensure accuracy, this method must be modified in districts experiencing rapid in-migration and robust new residential development – which the Walton School District has experienced over the past few years. These COFTE numbers include only pre-school children with disabilities (ESE) and pre-school age children whose parents are in the Teenage Parent Program. It does not include children in the District’s Voluntary Pre-K program.
