SUBJECT:	FY 2004-2005 PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL PLAN CONTINUED

STUDENT ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS

Student Enrollment—The most significant factor in the budget development process is the number of students served. Enrollment projections are based on enrollment history, profile, and both demographic and economic considerations. The General Fund budget is developed using the FTE (full-time equivalent) student count, weighting both half-day kindergarten and preschool students at one-half, which is consistent with their programs.

In order to project student enrollment, District staff works closely with the Municipality of Anchorage in utilizing the Municipality's Geographic Information System’s data. The following schedule summarizes the actual or projected student enrollment information for FY 2001-2002 through FY 2004-2005 on both a full count and FTE basis.
