Both Mecklenburg and Wake again over predicted the enrollment projections for 2008, which is a consistent trend! If only the staff geniuses who project these numbers had read Dr. Palasek?s article back in May of 2004. However, realistically I don?t think data or facts matter to those responsible for the projections. Terry Stoops said it correctly when he linked the enrollment projection blunders to advancing the school bond campaigns across the state. Just like all government agencies sucking the (public) Government?s teat, whatever it takes to get the money.
