(OMED: Since Steve's item is about schools, the answer is almost nobody.  Some districts are experiencing net enrollment declines, which is how they claim budget cuts are happening.  State school funds are allocated on a per student basis.)

The National Center for Education Statistics projections for K-12 enrollment shows Oregon in stagnant growth through 2009 with no increase in student enrollment.In the out years of the projections Oregon is expected to add 1K more in 2010, 2K more in 2011, and 4K in 2012.

Noticebly different is Idaho (plus 29K), California (plus 383K), and Washington (plus 19K) which show steady growth throughout the projected years.

Makes me wonder who Metro is planning for when they say 1/2 million more folks will be coming to the Metro area in the next 20 years.
