Definition

The district's own projection for the following school year, from the Attendance Boundary Committee book. Stored under the projected year.

Numbers printed in the board's Attendance Boundary Committee book for the schools it targets: student enrollment, permanent FISH capacity, the printed utilization, and the district's own projections one and two years out. Parsed from the PDF with a two-parser gate and an arithmetic check that the printed percent equals enrollment divided by capacity.

What is served

Years: 2026-27
20 school-year cells across 20 schools; 0 stored as suppressed (publisher withheld)

What it cannot show

Only the schools in that year's book carry these values (29 in the 2026-27 book), so they describe the closure and rezoning cohort, not the district.

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.
