Recommendations from the 2020 Boundary Study
-
- Woodland School should be a four section building.
- Continue with current Intradistrict Transfer Request process to balance class size numbers at each of the schools. Targeted class sizes will be 20-23 in grades K-2 and 23-26 in grades 3-5.
- Open enrolled students should be assigned to schools according to space available if class sizes meet the target class size threshold.
- Adjust current boundaries to increase enrollment for Woodland Elementary and decrease the enrollment at Lincoln and Voyager.
- Grandfather current 4th graders to finish in their current school. Siblings would move and parents could decide to move the 4th grader.
- Follow Policy 560- Elementary Student Transfer Process.
- “Low incidence” programs should be placed in the appropriate building, creating efficiencies where possible.
- Monitor building numbers to create staffing efficiencies at all elementary schools.
- Allow for future growth in each of the schools.
- Continue to provide intervention programs at as many schools as possible.
- Maintain waiting lists for families if they did not get into their preferred school.
- Continue to monitor and review attendance boundaries in 3-5 years.
