B-86 <br /> <br />Enrollment Projections <br /> <br />in the graph at the bottom of the page are the historical student populations for the years 1990 through <br />1997. From 1998 to 2008 enrollments are projected to grow at a rate of 5%. This will result in the <br />addition of over 2,600 students by the year 2002, and increase the average class size from 638 <br />students today to 838 in 2002. <br /> <br />It is clear that class sizes will surge beyond the current school capacities and additional space <br />must be provided for such requirements. <br /> <br />The District also recognizes the increasing program needs for pre-kindergarten and special education. <br />Special student population projections must be incorporated into the analysis of existing and future <br />space needs. <br /> <br />Projections have been made using economic and housing development information from the various <br />cities and townships in the district. <br /> <br />14,000 <br /> <br />12,000 <br /> <br />13,11~1 <br /> <br /> 10,90~.11 <br /> 1997/98 <br /> GROWTH TREND LINE~,,~ 8,290 ~~ I I <br /> ~'~ 1'!i I I <br /> 5599 ~ ~ <br />IIIll I I-II I I <br />IIIll I III I I <br /> <br />E <br /> <br />10,000 <br />8,000 <br />6,000 <br />4,000 <br />2,000 <br />0 <br /> <br />ACTUAL ENROLLMENTS ~...~_.~ PROJECTED ENROLLMFNTR <br /> <br />ri <br /> <br />A Plan for District 728 Buildings and Sites, September, 1998: Page 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
