Enrollment and Future Projected Enrollment (PreK-12th Grade). PCR-3’s 2016-17 enrollment is 3,999 (4,077 including PreK students), as of the official DESE count date in September. Enrollment growth has slowed throughout the Northland, yet PCR-3 is still growing. Most of the projected growth stems from smaller classes graduating and larger classes moving up.

Platte County School District uses a variety of performance measures to ensure student progress towards success in life. Students in grades 3-8 annually take the

grade level Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) assessments in English Language Arts (ELA), math, and science. High school students take End-of-Course (EOC) exams upon completion of state-designated core content classes. The District’s results on these assessments, both in whole and disaggregated into sub-groups, combined with College and Career Readiness, attendance rates, and graduation rates, form the basis for the District’s accreditation.

The data in the following tables shows Platte County School District’s 2016 MSIP5 (Missouri School Improvement Program, 5th cycle) Annual Performance Report (APR) results, as well as MAP, EOC, and college and career readiness measures. For more detailed information, visit the District’s Academic Assessment Summary, located under the “Performance Results” page of the Strategic Plan channel at www.plattecountyschooldistrict.com.

The projected ending operating fund balance for 2016-17 is 18.0%, or approximately 9 weeks operating cash. The Board of Education has identified

a desired fund balance range of 18-22%. To honor this desire, the Business section of the Comprehensive Strategic Improvement Plan (CSIP) specifically monitors this as an indicator of fiscal health. There have been slight variances since fiscal year 2011, but generally balances have remained within this desired range. Maintaining in this range allows the District to meet cash flow demands throughout the school year, contributes to the exemplary bond rating given the District, and provides monies for contingencies.

Energy Savings. Several energy conservation measures were implemented this year, including LED lighting, water fixture upgrades, rooftop unit replacements, and automation improvements. Since implementation this year, the District has already seen a decrease in energy use. The energy savings performance contract with Navitas will result in savings of approximately $2 million over the life of the program, factoring in capital cost avoidance.

Debt Reduction Efforts. Debt “refunding” of school district bonds is similar to a homeowner’s refinancing of a mortgage. Since 2009, the District saved $7,652,895.78 through this process. In addition to these efforts, 60% of the district’s debt is scheduled to retire in the next 10 years.
