Enrollment Capacity

The Facility Master Plan considers historical and projected enrollment data, as provided by the District, to determine the quantity of space needed to adequately house students across school sites. This information is compared to the existing quantity of available space to analyze both existing and future capacity needs.
 
Capacity may be evaluated in a number of ways and takes into consideration operational practices such as loading standards (student to teacher ratios) and specific program typologies. Because these operational factors vary, for master planning purposes, the facility master plan uses standard loading rations as determined by the California Office of Public School Construction. These loading factors are used in evaluation eligibility and funding within the State School Facility Program (SFP).
