1Projections of average daily attendance were made by multiplying the forecasts for enrollment reported in chapter 1 by the average value of the ratio of average daily attendance to the enrollment from 1986 to 1995, approximately 0.93 percent.
NOTE: Calculations were made using unrounded numbers. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
