Feasibility Study Phase 1

STR tasked with the following:

  • Test viability of Thomas Jefferson Elementary conversion to JHS
  • Test viability of Thomas Jefferson Elementary conversion to MS
  • Identify facility changes if D15 converts all JHS to MS
  • These scenarios also test the BTF Feeder Pattern

Feasibility Study Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson Elementary has a limited amount of usable site area

  • Grade drops off toward the east
  • Cannot provide equitable outdoor athletics

○ Would need to obtain an IGA to use adjacent baseball field

  • Parking quantity may be an issue - TBD
  • Bus Drop off area may not have enough queue length - TBD
  • Parent drop off occurs in parking lot due to lack of street frontage

Feasibility Study Thomas Jefferson JHS

Conversion to Junior High School

  • Extend existing parking lot
  • Extend existing bus turn around
  • Provide soccer and obtain IGA for baseball
  • New Gymnasium and Locker facilities
  • Renovate interior to provide age-appropriate instructional space
  • Kitchen to be upgraded
  • Assumes Junior High scheduling to maximize utilization of all educational

spaces

Middle School Approach to Adolescent Education

  • Needs of early adolescents’ (10-14 years old) differ significantly from

elementary school age children and require consideration for specific physical, social and cognitive factors

  • Current junior high model means students are together only 2 years
  • Three-year school offers consistent environment and expectations,

enhances identity, belonging and community

  • “Hybrid” model to first unite 6th graders at new grades 6-8 buildings
  • Implement full middle school model in time
slide-25
SLIDE 25

Full Day Kindergarten

  • Benefits all D15 schools and students
  • Identified as a community value
  • Students come to 1st grade ready
  • Learning problems are caught and remediated early
  • Time to teach math and reading significantly increased

○ EnVision Math (72 minutes needed daily/current kindergarten has 30 minutes daily) ○ Fountas and Pinnell Classroom (120 minutes needed daily/current kindergarten has 60 minutes daily)

History of Bilingual Overlay in D15

Started in 1974 to provide services to bilingual students in cluster sites. Strengths:

  • Mandated language services provided

Challenges:

  • Different school site each year
  • Inconsistent educational experiences
  • Multiple schools in the same year for siblings
  • Compromised ability of parents to fully participate in child’s education
slide-28
SLIDE 28

History of Bilingual Overlay in D15

Adjusted in 2001 and still in effect today. Strengths:

  • One school site grades K-6
  • Same school for siblings

Challenges:

  • Over 600 bilingual students attend schools not in their home attendance areas
  • Compromised ability of parents to fully participate in child’s education

To Investigate:

  • Can we adjust the bilingual overlay to educate more bilingual students in schools closer

to their home attendance area without drastically increasing staffing?

Consensus and Next Steps

  • Ensure all Board members have a complete picture of facility needs and

possibilities

  • Reach agreement on draft Guiding Objectives as to priority alignment and

areas for continued study

  • Board direction regarding additional research on bringing full-day

kindergarten to District 15 and transition to a “hybrid” middle school model

  • Discuss timeline for next steps
