A district must plan classrooms while future enrolment and migration remain uncertain. Which approach best manages this uncertainty?

Correct answer: Develop alternative scenarios with predefined decision triggers. Alternative scenarios with predefined decision triggers let planners respond as the uncertainty resolves.

• Use a weighted average and commit all resources immediately. Committing all resources immediately to a weighted average ignores the risk of being wrong.
• Plan for the best case and retain only a small reserve. Planning for the best case with a small reserve leaves the district exposed.
• Delay all planning until future enrolment becomes certain. Delaying all planning until enrolment is certain is impractical.
