  The Superintendent or a designee shall periodically provide the following information to the Board:

 

1.  A written description of existing physical facilities and needs;

 

2.  The number of live births, resident students attending private school, and new residential units approved or planned in Springfield Township;

 

3.  The enrollment by grades during the school year;

 

4.  An estimate each spring of the number of students who will be enrolled in the schools of the district in September of the year for which the estimate is made; and

 

5.  Student population projections and a comparison of the actual population figures to the previously projected figures to detect any possible changes in population trends.

4.Guidelines
