Previously, school enrollment figures are only gathered at the time of enrollment after planning and budgeting has already been completed for the school year. Particularly for Pre-K, unlike grade school students, more students are new rather than returning. School administrators may hire consultants to develop forecasts of the overall student population but these forecasts are static, do not address new programs such a Universal Pre-K, and if they do, they are based on ACS demographic data. ACS data is not up-to-date and the lack of PII data means that there are limitations of measuring a potential Pre-K population without including intersections of demographics such as wealth, race/ethnicity, and so on.
