HBCSD Corruption

The Misleading Information:

Both the transitional kindergarten and kindergarten counts were inflated upward on the Decision Insite (DI) Forecasting Reports from March 2014 and May 2015:

(1)       HBCSD actual average TK and K count in 2012-2013 school year was about 163 students.   HBCSD actual average TK and K count in 2013-2014 school year was about 154 students.   Yet DI’s Five-Year Projections for March 2014 projected 178 TK and K students (23TK+155K = 178) for the coming year (2015, 2016, 2017).  How did Decision Insite come up with their  count of 178 TK and K students for 2015, 2016 and 2017?

(2)       Decision Insite (DI) inexplicably projected higher than normal enrollment for future TK and K students in 2015, 2016, and 2017. However, DI’s March 2014 Five-Year Projections showed declining enrollment after 2015.

(3)       HBCSD actual average TK and K count in 2014-2015 while offering full-day instruction was 170 students.  The difference of 8 less TK and K students is significant considering that HBCSD only had 1,460 to 1,473 total students in 2014-2015 school year.
