Why change attendance boundaries
- With two fewer elementary schools & one
fewer middle school, it’s needed
- It’s been more than 20 years since
boundaries were last changed

Goals & requirements for new boundaries
- Create better racial & economic equity
among our schools
○ Each school gets resources it needs ○ Better results for students
- State requires that we don’t create inequity
(racially isolated)
- Address capacity issues
- Be more efficient so we can spend money on
better programs

Other considerations
- Monitor the number of students affected
- Keep designated areas together as possible
- Consider impact on transportation
- Each elementary with capacity for
pre-kindergarten

What we won’t be doing today
- Deciding on variances
- What is a variance?
○ When a student attends a school other than their “home” school. Right now, parents put in a request & if there is space, they can attend the school of their choice. Generally, no transportation is provided. ○ Magnet schools = variance

More on variances
- Will decide after attendance boundaries are
decided
- Why? Remember - we have to show that we
are not causing more racial and economic segregation
- Board guidance on handling variances (current
and future) after boundaries are set

Attendance Boundary Scenarios
- All options are based on student addresses
- AGAIN - WE MUST NOT CREATE RACIALLY
ISOLATED SCHOOLS
- Focus on elementary boundaries because
middle boundaries=feeder schools
- Presenting two elementary scenarios
- Both are viable - meet our goals, no major
increase in transportation
