As you are aware, we are not including a new middle school in our CIP. However, we are in the process of building an elementary school and a high school. All the indicators are pointing to rapid growth in the northern part of the county. The two schools coming on line over the next three years will allow us some room for growth, but currently our two middle schools, one at capacity and the other over capacity, will not be affected by the new schools constructed in our system. I have included the latest student membership figures for our system. The capacities for all our schools are listed as well. We will also share with you how deceiving capacity numbers are today based on situations in our schools that take up additional space for very few students and required programs. /ha Attachment SCHOOLS Cameron Park Elementary Central Elementary Efland- Cheeks Elementary Grady A.

Using the .33 formula for student projections, we could receive between 495 -660 students. Using .66 (a more realistic figure), the number of students could range from 990 -1320.
