Board hears proposal to use PowerSchool analytics for 10‑year enrollment projections and surplus‑property planning
Summary
Staff presented a proposal to adopt PowerSchool enrollment analytics—GIS‑based demographic modeling and 10‑year projections—to inform surplus property decisions and the district’s Smart Plan; PowerSchool was described as able to capture open‑enrollment patterns and housing development scenarios.
The board heard a staff presentation about potentially using PowerSchool’s demographic and enrollment‑modeling tools to support surplus property decisions and long‑range planning.
Facilities and planning staff described PowerSchool’s 10‑year enrollment forecasting, GIS capabilities and student generation assumptions tied to housing development. Staff said PowerSchool captures open‑enrollment flows and can model inter‑ and intra‑district school choice patterns—capabilities district staff said would complement existing Davis Demographics services. Trustees asked whether negotiations with the Irvine Company (on a potential future school site) had been started; staff said they would research past documents and follow up.
Board members moved to receive the information; staff said a recommendation and potential contract or purchase would be presented in future agenda materials if the district elects to adopt PowerSchool.
