January 20, 2016

Issue

 Worthington Schools enrollment has increased by 672

in the last 4 years.

 Enrollment projections indicate we will see an

additional 624 students in the next 10 years.

 While this number does not exceed the enrollment

high point of the District in the past, it creates challenges due to reconfiguration, program changes and concentrated population increases.

Evening Street Elementary  Currently has 579 students enrolled (514 housed in the

building)

 Our adjusted program capacity estimate for this

building is 560.

 Enrollment projections indicate that the enrollment

will increase and could reach 645 in the 21-22 school year.

Move an Evening Street Elementary School Grade Level To Thomas Worthington High School

Move a Grade Level to TWHS

Which grade level will be at TWHS?

• A committee consisting of parents, teachers, and

administration will determine which grade level makes the most sense based on the following factors: safety, number of students, number of classrooms, and ease of transition.

How will the students get to and from school?

• Students will ride the existing elementary bus to and

from Evening Street.

Move a Grade Level to TWHS

How many classrooms will be allocated to Evening Street?

• 4 classrooms located on the second floor (NE corner)

closest to Evening Street. The first floor classrooms are used for Science.

Will the Evening Street students be isolated from high school students?

• Processes and expectations will be established to

minimize the interaction however, Evening Street students and high school students will be sharing the same space.

Back Entrance Closest to Evening Street Front Entrance of TWHS Restrooms

Move a Grade Level to TWHS

Where will the restrooms be located and will they be shared with high school students?

• The restrooms will be located on the second floor and

will be shared with high school students.

Where will related arts, related services, and lunch take place?

Evening Street.

.

Move Evening Street 6th Grade To Kilbourne Middle School

Move 6th Grade To KMS

How will the students get to and from school?

• Students will ride the existing middle school bus to and

from KMS. Building hours are: 8:45am-3:45pm.

What will the schedule look like?

• Students will have an eight period day consisting of:

related arts, math (90 min.), English Language Arts (90 min.), science, social studies, and Assist.

Will the Evening Street students be integrated or isolated from the 7th and 8th grade KMS students?

• Currently, an integrated and isolated model is being

developed.

Isolated Option - DRAFT

Option 5: Move 6th Grade To KMS

Will EPP be provided?

• The current model being used at Evening Street will be

used at KMS for the 6th grade EPP students.

Will Evening Street students be able to participate in the 6th grade traditions?

the end of 5th grade. Students will go to camp in 6th grade while at KMS. The 6th grade musical (practice and performances) would take place at KMS.

REASSIGN EVENING STREET BOUNDARIES

• Will adjusting the boundaries of Evening

Street eliminate the issue?

• Will the students fit in other buildings?
• How will this impact the MS/HS enrollment

patterns?

Impact on the Middle School

• McCord has a current enrollment of 499
• According to the enrollment study, McCord

should see an increase to 549 (25-26)

REDISTRICT

According to the recent enrollment study:

• TWHS-(1,586) will grow to a high of 1,788 (22-23)
• WKHS-(1,160) will decrease to a low of 1,078 (20-21)
• Would balancing the HS population be a priority?

Creating Student Space using the Art/Music Rooms

• The art and music classrooms are adequately sized

to provide learning spaces for grade-level instruction

• Current furnishings would be removed, and

classroom-appropriate furniture installed.

• Space already conducive for technology and other

instructional practices

• This option is “immediately” ready for use
• Art and/or music programming would continue to

be provided to all students: – Teacher materials travel, as necessary, with the teacher – Student instruction would be delivered in the regular classroom setting – Some restrictions on timing (set-up/clean-up) would decrease art/music time, but not the program as a whole – Some functions may be temporarily curtailed (ie: clay/ceramics)

Offer only ½-day Kindergarten

Utilize available space in another district building to house the kindergarten classes as a group. Provide for the transportation to implement this option.

Shuttle All K Classes to another School as a Group

Offering ONLY ½ day kindergarten at Evening Street allows the maximum use of available space for students. Families desiring a full-day option could make use of open enrollment to available spaces in other schools.
