Definition

PERMANENT CAPACITY in the FISH level-of-service report: permanent student stations only.

  • Columns of the state's FISH Level of Service report for the district, parsed from the PDF with two independent parsers that must agree. School capacity includes relocatable classrooms; permanent capacity does not. COFTE is the capital-outlay full-time-equivalent, a funding measure. The state's utilization is COFTE divided by school capacity, after the utilization factor for the school type.

What is served

  • Years: 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25
  • 1,008 school-year cells across 337 schools; 0 stored as suppressed (publisher withheld)

What it cannot show

  • Capacity is a count of satisfactory student stations, not classrooms; program changes (special education, pre-K) change it without construction.
  • Facilities are matched to school numbers by name with seven documented overrides; a number that maps to two facilities keeps the larger one.

How it was checked

Every served number runs through the four-check taxonomy described on the methodology page: (i) completeness, (ii) an exact re-read of the file by independent Python, (iii-b) a second publisher where one exists, (iv) recomputation of derived values.

(ii) Base case — closure track
