Background

  • RISD enrollment has been steadily increasing

for the last five years, particularly at the elementary level.

  • Overall district enrollment has grown more

than 10 percent over the last four years.

  • Demographic projections indicate additional

district growth is expected for the next 5-10 years.

Strategies to address enrollment growth

slide-4
SLIDE 4

Considerations

  • Building new school(s)
  • Purchasing portable classrooms
  • Adjusting attendance boundaries
  • Prior Consideration – 6th to Junior High
  • Adding square footage to existing campuses
  • Magnet School Options
slide-5
SLIDE 5

Consideration – Building New Schools

Pros

  • Provides additional capacity within an

attendance area to relieve increasing student enrollment

slide-6
SLIDE 6

Consideration – Building New Schools

  • Cons
  • 18 – 24 months to complete
  • Wouldn’t address current overflow needs and enrollment

growth

  • Wouldn’t quickly provide a stable learning environment for
  • verflow students
  • Would require land purchase in attendance area
  • Would require redrawing of boundary lines
  • Concern regarding over-building
slide-7
SLIDE 7

Consideration – Purchasing Portable Classrooms

Pros

  • Inexpensive
  • Shorter timeframe for implementation
  • Flexibility if enrollment changes
slide-8
SLIDE 8

Consideration – Purchasing Portable Classrooms

Cons

  • Security issues
  • Inclement weather issues (Gym, Cafeteria,

Specials)

  • Infrastructure to support added classrooms
  • Short term life compared to bricks and mortar
slide-9
SLIDE 9

Consideration – Adjusting Attendance Boundaries

Pros

  • Provides relief to areas with dense enrollment
  • Provides more efficient use of space
slide-10
SLIDE 10

Consideration – Adjusting Attendance Boundaries

Cons

  • Generally coordinated with construction of new school
  • District-wide perspective important
  • Potential impact to all boundaries
  • Potential neighborhood instability
  • Families choose residences to attend specific schools
  • Emotional for individuals and families affected
  • Potential impact to feeder patterns
  • Time factor – requires considerable research
  • Increased bussing
slide-11
SLIDE 11

Prior Consideration – 6th to Junior High

Pros

  • Provides capacity at all elementary schools in

all attendance areas

  • Creates instructional alignment among 6th, 7th,

& 8th grades

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Prior Consideration – 6th to Junior High

Cons

  • Evaluated on two past occasions
  • 2008 cost – approximately $3 million
  • Not enough room at junior highs – construction

required

  • Could impact smaller elementary schools –

potential closures

  • Potential impact to current boundaries
  • Potential impact to feeder patterns
slide-13
SLIDE 13

Consideration – Adding Square Footage to Existing Campuses

  • Pros
  • Supports neighborhood school concept
  • Keeps students in area and feeder pattern
  • Maintains stability in boundaries and feeder patterns
  • Reduces number of students who may be assigned to

different campuses each year

  • Reduces transportation costs for overflow routes
slide-14
SLIDE 14

Consideration – Adding Square Footage to Existing Campuses

Cons

  • Concern regarding over-building
  • Loss of small neighborhood school feel
  • Increased traffic
slide-15
SLIDE 15

Consideration – Magnet School Options

Pros

  • Provides additional instructional option to students

and parents

  • Maximizing utilization of current magnet schools

reduces the need for additional construction

  • Maintains stability in boundaries and feeder patterns
  • Reduces number of students who may be assigned to

different campuses each year

  • Reduces transportation costs for overflow routes
slide-16
SLIDE 16

Consideration – Magnet School Options

Cons

  • Concern about impact of modifying magnet

school eligibility on existing programs

  • Impact on junior high magnet schools if

elementary magnet eligibility is modified

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Current Enrollment and Capacity

Elementary campuses with high outgoing

  • verflow and/or enrollment or projected

enrollment as a high % of capacity:

Aikin, Mark Twain, Northwood Hills, Skyview, Stults, Wallace, and White Rock

Forest Lane Academy has high outgoing overflow, but enrollment is projected to fall so they are not included Richland has high outgoing overflow, but is well below their capacity so will be reviewing room utilization and providing additional allocations.

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Options to address enrollment growth include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Review central program assignments
  • Expand eligibility/participation at existing

elementary magnet schools

  • Attendance boundary changes
  • Building a new elementary school (K-6 with

boundary changes, grade level center, and/or magnet school)

  • Use existing land to add classrooms

(portable and/or permanent construction)

  • Any combination of the above

Construct a new elementary school

A new K-6 grade school would affect the attendance boundaries of multiple elementary campuses within the area. A grade level(s) campus or magnet school would minimize disruption to existing attendance areas.

Feasibility of Using Existing Land to add Classrooms (portables or new construction)

Elementary schools with high overflow and/or enrollment or projected enrollment as a high % of capacity are shown here as well as all

  • ther elementary campuses in the Lake

Highlands area with a capacity of less than 900 students.

Preliminary Recommendations include:

  • Relocate portion of Mark Twain attendance at least

south of Frances Way to Jess Harben.

  • Relocate portion of Skyview attendance north of LBJ

Freeway to Thurgood Marshall.

  • Add classrooms and necessary infrastructure at Aikin,

Northwood Hills, Stults, White Rock and/or other campus(es) depending on enrollment variances.

  • Add up to 12 classrooms to Northlake, creating a pre-k

center for Northlake, Wallace, and White Rock (or larger area) as well as a kindergarten center for Northlake and White Rock.

  • Pursue land acquisition in high enrollment growth area
  • f Lake Highlands.
  • Add funds to proposed 2016 Bond for these items.
