A real, disclosed proficiency-data gap

A real, disclosed enrollment uncertainty tied to the closure

The 2026 Tyson plant closure may plausibly affect future district enrollment, given the historical link between the plant and Lexington's working-age population -- a real, disclosed, forward-looking uncertainty (base record).
