Create 3-4 solutions that provide the most benefit for most of the community; obtain feedback Present solutions to BOE for further community engagement, evaluation, selection and implementation (by Fall 2019 or 2020)

Boundary Change Concepts Slides contain 3 concepts of what new boundaries could look like: 1.FHS/RMHS area changes and new store front school in PHS area 2.FHS/RMHS area changes and add classrooms to elementary schools (PHS) 3.FHS/RMHS area changes and add classrooms to elementary schools in PHS and make VL a FDK-8

Boundary Change Concepts

• Fully implements alignment of elementary/junior high/high schools • Implements full-day kindergarten • Alleviates overcrowding at WB and PG; PH and HR #s kept steady or lowered • Optimizes assigning students to a nearby neighborhood school, thereby reducing bus travel times • Makes only minimal changes so that neighborhoods not worse off

All 3 Concepts: Priorities Addressed

Concept#1: PHS New Store Front School Elementary Schools:

Junior Highs: SRPJH TJJH PGJH WRSJH WCJH CSJH

High Schools: RMHS, PHS, FHS

Current

Proposed(#1)

Concept #1: Actions Required • • • • • • •

TJ goes from being HDK-6 school to a junior high school.

Feasibility study required.

SRP goes from being HDK-6 school to FDK-8 school. Feasibility study required.

WC/WCE classrooms shuffled so that there are more junior high classrooms, and less elementary classrooms. Feasibility study required.

SPED classes re-distributed Gifted classes from HR, PH, MJ moved to SRP. Gifted classes from CR moved to WB Requires implementation of the Park Place store front school.

Lays the groundwork to build a more permanent school in the NE part of the district. Need to find location for a store front school.

1 extra classroom needs to be found at FCW; 2 at LS; 1 at WB. Need to study building maps to find space for extra classrooms.
