OUR SERVICES

PASA helps districts connect enrollment data with real-world decisions. Our services give leaders the tools to manage growth, plan facilities, and communicate needs with clarity.

StUDENT ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS

  • PASA provides in-depth enrollment studies that forecast the next decade of growth and change — by attendance zone, planning unit, and subdivision. Our projections are built on:

    • Tracking the timing and location of new housing construction through direct, primary-source research

    • Studying neighborhoods that are regenerating with younger families

    • Geocoding current student locations for short-term enrollment management

    • Developing students-per-home ratios to reflect the unique densities of each neighborhood

    • Evaluating the influence of charter and private schools on district enrollment

    • Applying decades of experience to draw parallels with similar districts across Texas

LONG-RANGE FACILITIES PLANNING

  • PASA connects future enrollment projections to existing campus capacities, giving districts a clear picture of when and where new schools may be needed. Our planning approach helps districts:

    • Minimize disruption for students while maximizing facility usage

    • Outline step-by-step needs for current and future schools

    • Suggest site options and timing for fiscally responsible land purchases

    • Align short-term attendance zone changes with long-term growth

    • Maintain consistency in planning even as leadership and boards evolve

BOND ELECTION PLANNING

  • Successful bond elections depend on transparent, data-driven communication with the community. PASA supports this process by:

    • Providing clear, dependable growth projections tied to current district capacity

    • Presenting methodology, results, and capacity analyses to bond committees in plain language

    • Preparing detailed data to support fiscally responsible land purchases for future campuses

GEOGRAPHIC MAPPING & DATA ANALYSIS

  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are the foundation of PASA’s modeling and analysis, allowing us to connect data with location to reveal actionable insights. Our GIS process includes:

    Information Gathering

    • Collecting land use data, parcel ownership, aerial imagery, development plans, and transportation updates unique to each district

    • Geocoding student addresses to understand current distribution and trends

    • Integrating all geographic and economic data into a single comprehensive system

    Analysis

    • Studying past and present student movement, density, and neighborhood ratios

    • Incorporating residential, commercial, and policy factors into projections

    • Modeling future housing and student distribution to guide attendance zones, facility planning, and bond elections

    Reporting

    • Delivering clear maps, charts, and graphs to illustrate findings

    • Providing interactive online mapping tools for ongoing district use
