Impact on Schools

• Over 500 students registered
• Up to 260 out-of-district

Future of Program

• Trailing siblings
• After data analysis, consider Marriotts Ridge HS as an opportunity to

provide relief to Centennial HS and Mount Hebron HS

SY 2019/20 Adjustments

• Guarantees immediate relief in implementation year
• No capital cost
• Minimal operating cost
• Neighborhoods affected by boundary adjustments at Oakland Mills HS,

Long Reach HS, or Howard HS (between now and SY 2023/24) likely to be changed again with opening of HS #13

• Policy review and updates to projection/scenario testing tools underway
• Boundary review process not underway (regional meetings, Attendance Area Committee)

Qu Ques estio ion: What are boundary adjustments? An Answ swer: Please click here [LINK] for standards relating to boundary adjustments. Qu Ques estio ion: Currently, are there any proposed plans to review? An Answ swer: No, the Superintendent has not proposed any specific areas for boundary adjustments. If the Board of Education directs the Superintendent to prepare specific boundary changes as part of the 2018 process, plans will be posted on the Office of School Planning webpage [LINK] Qu Ques estio ion: Why can’t the Board build HS 13 by 2020 now that the site is selected? An Answ swer: Planning for HS 13 began in spring 2018, following the Board’s decision on the building

• location. To construct a building, with site

work takes a minimum of 36 months. This does not include the design and permit process. In total it can take up to 5 years. For more information on building construction, click here [LINK] Qu Ques estio ion: : Are there any HS #13 proposed attendance area plans to review? An Answ swer: The Superintendent has not proposed any specific areas for HS #13 boundary adjustments. The Board directed staff to provide a theoretical boundary for High School #13, which they did during the March 8, 2018 in the PowerPoint [LINK]. Qu Ques estio ion: Is there a public-facing redistricting tool so that I can create my own boundary for the Board to consider? An Answ swer: At this time, there is no public-facing tool.

Que Question: n: What is open enrollment? An Answer: : Open enrollment is defined under Board Policy 9000. [LINK] Question: How is a school designated as “open?” An Answer: : The Board may identify schools that, because they have available space, are open to enrollment by a student not living in the schools' attendance areas. Parents may request a student’s reassignment to an open school according to established procedures. The request is subject to approval by the Superintendent/Designee. A student reassigned under this standard will be eligible for extracurricular activities, except the student will not be eligible for participation in interscholastic athletics for a period of one year effective the date of transfer. Transportation will be provided by the parent. Que Question: If the Board chooses this option, students from which schools would be eligible for reassignment? An Answer: : Howard HS, Centennial HS, Long Reach HS, Mt. Hebron HS Que Question: n: Where can parents choose to send a student? An Answer: : Schools that could receive reassigned students under this option are Oakland Mills HS, Marriotts Ridge HS, Glenelg HS, Wilde Lake HS; however, the Board must take action on which schools would have an “open school designation.”

• Each incoming Howard HS 9th grade class
• Cohort transfers to Howard for 10th – 12th grades
• Howard HS grade configuration:
• 4. Temporary Reassignment
• SY 2019/20 implementation
• 10th-12th grades
• New cohort of students impacted annually

For Howard HS, only (not voluntary)

• Bonnie Branch MS, Ellicott Mills MS, Mayfield Woods MS feeds (approx. 300 students) to Marriotts Ridge HS
• Elkridge Landing MS feed (approx. 200 students ) to Oakland Mills HS (Wilde Lake HS is an alternative)
• Ends with opening of HS #13 (SY 2023/24)
• Provides immediate relief for Howard HS with 500 students relocated
• Uses existing capacity
• No capital costs
• Operating costs to relocate staff and provide bus routes

*please note, this concept could be applied to the rising 9th grade class at Centennial HS. The receiving school is suggested to be Glenelg HS.

Que Question: n: How will my child transition under this temporary assignment? An Answer: : The option shown under this scenario involves Howard HS and/or Centennial HS and would affect rising ninth graders in SY 2019/20, SY 2020/21, SY 2021/22 and SY 2021/22. Question: Would transportation be provided? An Answer: : Yes. Que Question: n: Would students be eligible for extra curricular activities? An Answer: : Specific details will be developed when Board direction is given on these options. Que Question: n: Can the rising ninth grade class stay at their respective middle schools rather than move and then the middle schools become 6-9 grades? An Answer: : There is no capacity at the middle schools listed in these options to take an additional cohort of students.

Opportunities

• SY 2019/20: JumpStart Trailing Siblings, Boundary Adjustments, Open Enrollment,

and/or Rising 9th Grade Class(es); Do Nothing*

• SY 2020/21: Program initiatives – Performing Arts, STEM. These types of programs are

already under consideration and not specifically associated with crowding in schools, but may provide relief to crowded schools, if implemented in conjunction with open enrollment.

• SY 2021/22: 9th Grade Academy
• SY 2023/24: Boundary Adjustments
