Definition

'% Utilization Perm FISH Cap' as printed by the district for a targeted school.

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: 2025-26
29 school-year cells across 29 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.
