1. "Expenditures" include instruction, instruction-related, support services, and other elementary/secondary current expenditures, but exclude expenditures on capital outlay, other programs, and interest on long-term debt. Data used for 1980-1981, 1990-1991, and 2001-2002 come from "The Economy of Puerto Rico: Restoring Growth," Helen Ladd and Francisco Rivera-Batiz, p.209), which lists the PRDE as its source and uses 2003 constant dollars. For 2010-2011, data comes from NCES and has been adjusted to 2013 dollars using the CPI inflation calculator.

La consolidación de escuelas es esencial para mejorar el aprovechamiento y las practicas de staffing de docentes

El enfocarse en la cantidad adecuada de escuelas le dará al DE más opciones en el futuro
Declining revenues
Enrollment declines and shifts
Unsustainable stopgap measures
Last-minute cuts with adverse
impacts on students
• Declining population • Declining birth rates • Increasing shifts to private schools
Driven directly by declining enrollment: • Fewer students generating federal
per-pupil revenues Exacerbated by... • Decreased state funding due to
recession and government's fiscal crisis
• Drawing down "rainy day" reserves
• Deferring facilities maintenance
• Increasing class size without focus on more effective teachers
• Cutting academic programs
• Decreasing length of school day
12
La metodología utilizada para identificar escuelas para la consolidación busca primordialmente mejorar el desempeño
Three main criteria for receiving candidates
Building quality
Academic performance
High
Low
Low High
Prioritize program for: • Program
relocation (to existing bldg)
• Facility renovation • New construction
Close program and facility
• Emphasis on lower utilized schools
Maximize capacity
utilization
Retain facility; replace program • Replacement with high-
performing program
• Academic
performance should be equal or better based on PPAA scores in Spanish and math
• Building quality must be better based on regional director ratings, OMEP repair needs
• Distance from closing school should be within ~3 -4 miles of driving distance
Objetivo: Consolidar escuelas con bajo desempeño académico y baja calidad en las instalaciones
