ERS™ Enrollment Resilience System

ERS is a structured enrollment risk review for schools and nonprofits. It examines enrollment, re-enrollment, and attendance data to show where instability is forming and what leadership should address next.

Enrollment instability rarely starts with enrollment counts. It usually appears first through chronic absenteeism, weakening re-enrollment, and declining attendance momentum. ERS helps leaders detect these signals early and respond before funding, staffing, and board confidence are impacted.

• Where is risk emerging now? (campus/grade volatility and hotspots)

• Why is it happening? (leading indicators and likely drivers)

• What does it cost us? (financial exposure scenarios)

• What do we do next? (priorities, owners, and timelines)

• Volatility Score™ and risk classification (🟢 Stable | 🟠 Elevated | 🔴 Critical)

• Campus-by-grade heatmaps and executive dashboards

• Risk register for governance oversight

• Campus one-pagers: key risks, strengths, and 30-day stabilization actions

• Board-ready executive summary and briefing

Phase I — ERS Diagnostic (2–3 weeks)
What happens in this phase

• Enrollment data is reviewed by campus and grade

• Re-enrollment, attendance, and transition patterns are analyzed

• Risk is defined in plain language

• Immediate leadership priorities are identified

Outcome:
A board-ready diagnostic and risk summary.

Phase II — Risk & Sustainability Alignment (6–8 weeks)
What happens in this phase

• Financial exposure tied to enrollment risk is assessed

• Organizational capacity and structural pressure are reviewed

• Competitive and market dynamics are evaluated

• Long-term risk treatment pathways are defined

Outcome:
Sustainability that supports durable board decisions.

Monitoring — Quarterly Cadence
What happens in this phase

• Risk scoring is updated

• Leading indicators are reviewed

• Risk register is refreshed

• Board-ready reporting is provided

Outcome:
Ongoing governance visibility and stability tracking.

ERS is designed for organizations experiencing (or anticipating):

• enrollment volatility or attrition

• rising chronic absenteeism or weakening attendance trends

• re-enrollment softness

• budget planning uncertainty

• authorizer/board pressure or renewal timelines

No. Phase I has defined scope and deliverables. It is a diagnostic, not an advisory retainer.

All data must be aggregated. ERS does not accept or process student-level PII.

• A concise written report showing where enrollment is weakening by campus and grade

• A clear explanation of what is driving the risk (attendance, re-enrollment, transition points)

• A structured list of key risks, their severity, and assigned ownership

• Specific actions leadership should take within the next 30–60 days

• Current enrollment by campus and grade (as-of date)

• Re-enrollment percentages (if available specify intent or confirmed)

• Chronic absenteeism percentages (if available)

• Any relevant context that may affect enrollment stability

All data must be aggregated. Do not submit student-level information.
