SCHOOL CONCURRENCY TRACKING June 2008 Annual Summit
ONCE UPON A TIME- • There were families
REWIND TO JUST A FEW YEARS AGO It was decided that schools should be built at the same time housing was being built
We started with a simple table to show what school a new development would be assigned to.
However, Concurrency required looking at more than just current data so the table was expanded.
School Concurrency also allows for reserving student stations based on upcoming housing developments • A simple excel file was created to track the many items involved in a review of a proposed housing development, including the data from the previous table • Type of housing • Number of students generated • Number of seats calculated to be available • Adjacent school zones
Other forms and processes are still in the development stage, including transitioning away from the excel file to a more accessible database.
