Our Goal Tonight Engage

1. Please ask questions. 2. Use your placemats throughout the presentation to record your thoughts, questions, takeaways and ideas.

Enrollment Projections

K-12 Student Enrollment

Enrollment data based on the official student enrollment count provided by the Department of Public Instruction

Long-Range Growth Study

Major Takeaways

• First projection that has incorporated both new Residential Development, and grade progression

student projections from the Applied Population Lab.

• The Residential Development projections have also incorporated a revised methodology using

student ratios customized to the Monona Grove School District based on 26 detailed housing types.

• The Low-End projection estimates a net gain of 385 students by the 2021-22 school year

○ This includes a net gain of 41 students in Glacial Drumlin School for a total of 989 students.

• The High End-projection estimates a net gain of 531 students by the 2021-22 school year

○ This includes a net gain of 71 students in Glacial Drumlin School for a total of 1002 students.

Methodology

• Applied Population Lab projections used as baseline, ratios extended beyond 10 years.
• Location, Type, and Size of Residential Growth based on discussions with City of Monona and Town

and Village of Cottage Grove, along with a detailed analysis of developer and municipal growth plans, including the City of Madison’s long-range planning area.

• The vast majority of student growth from new housing is expected to occur in the Cottage Grove area
• f the District.
• Resident student growth in the “Low-End” projection is primarily based upon the Department
• f Administration’s official population and household projections for the Village and Town of Cottage

Grove. ○ Monona projections not based on DOA, which estimates continued population loss in the City.

• Resident student growth in the “High-End” projection is primarily based upon a hybrid of the DOA’s

projections for natural increase and historic trends for migration for Dane County.

• Long-term projected decline in persons per household factored in.

The Next 10 Years

• The Low-End projection estimates a net gain of 385 students by the 2021-22 school year…. This includes a net gain of 41 students in Glacial Drumlin Middle School for a total of 959 students.
• The High End-projection estimates a net gain of nearly 531 students by the 2021-22 school year… This includes a net gain of 84 students in Glacial Drumlin Middle School for a total of 1002 students.

The Next 20 Years

Additional Growth Factors

• Cottage Grove expected to grow consistently, as major employment gains continue on East Side of

metro and ample developable land available ○ Most short term growth in Cottage Grove expected near Northwest corner of Village, closer to Interstate and metro ○ Older housing in Cottage Grove already seeing some declines in student population

• Monona’s population shrinkage has turned around for now.
• Median Age of District and Comparable Communities (2011-2015 ACS):

○ City of Monona: 44.8 ○ Village of Cottage Grove: 33.9 ○ Village of McFarland: 41.4 ○ City of Sun Prairie: 34.5

City of Monona

• Population decline from 10,420 in 1970 to 7, 533 in 2010.
• DOA projected loss of 50 people from 2013-2016, instead gained 400 people.
• Winnequah Elementary alone increased total enrollment from 2012-2016 by 103 students.
• Most new students not from large residential redevelopment:

○ 6 students in Fairway Glen (56 Units) in 2016 ○ 5 students in Treysta (121 Units) in 2016

• Student Projections for Monona based on current enrollment, recent City birth rates, planned

Residential redevelopment, and long-term decline in Persons per Household

Typical model for build-out attendance areas with fixed boundaries

Building Capacities

School Capacity

Capacity Based on Board Policy Gross Capacity

School Capacity: Based on Board Policy All available classrooms utilized as regular teaching stations.

At elementary and middle school: includes standard classrooms

• Excludes rooms for “specials” like art, gym, music, tech, and smaller rooms like special

education.

At high school: includes regular classrooms and most teaching stations devoted to electives

• Excludes break out space, special education, breakout labs, pool, etc

School Capacity: Based on Board Policy

Board policy represents goal, not hard class size maximum “Specials” like PE and music have separate class size goals

Grade Configuration

Current Grade Configuration

Background

• Our system today
• How we got the system we have today
• Impact
• Long-Range Facilities Planning

Committee guidance

Grade Configuration: Factors We’ve Considered

Academic Factors:

• Effects achievement (especially K and grades 6-9)
• School transitions for students (also Social)
• Grade/group sizes
• Size of building

Grade Configuration: Factors We’ve Considered

Financial Factors:

• Cost of student travel
• Effect on other neighborhood schools
• Building design

Grade Configuration: Factors We’ve Considered

Social Factors:

• Parent involvement
• Interaction between grade levels (also Academic)
• Student travel time (also Financial)

Grade Configuration: Our Conclusions

• There is no single best grade configuration model. The District can operate

effectively under different grade configurations.

• There should be district-wide alignment in the transition to Glacial Drumlin at 6th

grade.

• The grade structure should, to the degree possible, avoid bussing children out of

their home communities.

• Long term consistency is important.
