Student Data Insights

Bringing data together from every corner of the district to understand the big picture and what we are hoping to accomplish with this Facilities Master Plan.

Space Inventory

Analysis of Space (Proposition 2 Requirement).

In its simplest definition, a space inventory is a list of all the district’s schools square footage and how that space is used.  The total square footages are separated into the following categories of use:

  • Administrative
  • Instructional
  • Multi-Purpose Room
  • Gymnasium
  • Library/Media Center
  • Support (Restrooms, Utility Rooms, Circulation, Elevators, Etc.)

This information is used to analyze Educational Adequacy at each school.  This is a formula that is applied to each school that helps to determine how each space type compares to the recommended square footage provided by the California Department of Education (CDE).  As an example, the calculation for the recommended size of a Library at an elementary school would be:

  • 2.3 Square Feet per Student (current school enrollment) Plus 600 Square Feet.  The minimum size is 960 Square Feet.
  • 450 Students  x 2.3 SF per Student + 600 SF = 1,635 SF  

The is then compared to the actual square footage of the Library space at the elementary school to determine if it complies with CDE recommendations.

State Matching Funds

State grants are an important part of keeping our district up-to-date and a strong environment for student learning. Use this dashboard to understand the timeline of available grants.

Enrollment Trends

Our schools will experience changes in enrollment over the coming years. Use this report to compare the impact of enrollment change across campuses.

Student Population Groups
