Enrollment in the 6th District rises by 3,879 with 6,479 veteran credits and about 4,500 unassigned veterans. Some townships exceed quotas by about 11,000 while others fall short by 2,500. If a new call comes, deficient townships are taxed first. excess credits are deducted from other townships to meet statewide quotas.
