13.1 Gomes Elementary School Showcase
Principal Pamela Hughes, PTA President Grace Chang, and three student representatives presented the Gomes Showcase to highlight the school's accomplishments, areas of focus, unique characteristics, student perspective, and parent/guardian and community perspective.
16.1 Receive Annual Demographic Study Including Student Enrollment
Staff and a SchoolWorks, Inc. representative presented the Fremont Demographics Presentation.
The Fremont Unified School District contracts with SchoolWorks, Inc. to update and analyze demographic data relevant to the District’s facility planning efforts. The scope of contracted work includes: mapping the District, geocoding a student file that is usually representative of October's official head count, developing and researching pertinent demographic data, identifying future residential development plans, if any, and developing a six-year student population projection.
The purpose of this report is to identify and inform the District of the trends occurring in the community; how these trends may affect future student population; and to assist in illustrating facility adjustments that may be necessary to accommodate the potential student population shifts. The District can then use this information to better plan for the need, location, and timing of facility adjustments.
The updated demographic study shows that the District will continue to experience declining student enrollment for the next six (6) years. The projected enrollment for 2024-25 is 32,509 students and represents a year-over-year projected decrease of 151 students or 0.46%.
The projected enrollment in 2029-30 (6 years from now) is 30,752 students, a decrease of 1,908 from 2023-24 or 5.84%.
This was a non-action item; Trustees received the Annual Demographic Study Including Student Enrollment.
