Abstract	The purpose of this paper is to forecast the number of Hispanic students who will enroll in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) in grades K through 6 in the next five years and to forecast the number of Limited-English-Speaking Ability (LESA) students who will need appropriate educational services. These forecasts are made utilizing simple procedures with student enrollment data that is currently available. These procedures are described in detail. The forecasted enrollment of Hispanic students increases from 31,117 in 1977-78 to 42,678 in 1981-82; the forecasted enrollment of Spanish-speaking LESA students increases from 9,335 in 1977-78 to 12,803 in 1981-82. These forecasts are based on the enrollment of Hispanic students for the last seven years and require the assumption that the enrollment of Hispanic students will follow the same trend for the next five years.
