OVERVIEWData Collection and Processing

• Base Geographic Data Planning area parameters

• Student Data• Birth Data

• Fact Finding• Public Engagement Parameters for facilities and staffing

• Develop enrollment projections based on current attendance area geography• Staffing and facility analysis

OVERVIEWOption Development

• Planning Areas Student and birth counts

• Staffing and Facility Analyses

• Interactive Map Charrette

Final Plan• Develop Enrollment Projections Using final redistricting map

• Advance Better Option

DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSINGData Processing Objectives

• Develop Planning Area Geography

Logical groupings of parcels within attendance areas

• Develop Student and Birth Counts by Planning Area

Review and assign in-District unmatched records to planning areas

• Develop Enrollment Projection Model Using Planning Area Counts

DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSINGSpatial Planning Parameters for Defining Planning Areas

• Limit number of planning areas to manageable number• Identify planning areas to contain concentrations of studentsNeighborhoodsSubdivisionsApartment complexes

• Use parcel and street centerlines as boundaries• Keep planning areas contiguous• Define planning areas within existing attendance areas• Where possible, define planning areas within intersections of major

arterial roads, highways, creeks, and fenced-in structures (i.e., planning area boundaries do not cross these types of roads, hydrographic features, and other cultural features)

DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSINGPlace Student Addresses on Base Map

• Geocode 10 Years of Student AddressesExtracted from fall (September 30) 2016 student addresses

oHelp define planning area geography

DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSINGPlanning Area Summary

300 Planning Areas

16,985 Student Records from 2016

• 276 planning areas with 2016 students

• 24 planning areas without 2016 students

• 2016 student counts range from 1 to 205

• Average 2016 student count is 62

DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING20 Elementary Attendance Areas

9 areas without middle school area splits(Elementary Area, Number of Planning Areas, Middle School Area)

• Amstrong (16 West)

• Jury (17 Central)

• Larimore (18 Southeast)

• Lusher (20 Northwest)

• McCurdy (14 Northwest)

• Townsend (10 Central)

• Walker (7 Northwest)

DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING11 areas with middle school area splits

(Elementary Area, Number of Planning Areas, Middle School Area)

• Arrowpoint (3 East, 19 Southeast)• Barrington (6 Central, 15 North)• Cold Water (11 North, 1 Northwest)• Grannemann (11 East, 2 Southeast)• Jamestown (15 Central, 1 East)• Jana (13 North, 1 Northwest)

• Keeven (1 Central, 11 East)• Lawson (6 Northwest, 8 West)• McNair (7 Northwest, 5 West)• Russell (1 Northwest, 20 West)• Twillman (7 East, 4 Southeast)

• Last 10 School YearsAssign student addresses to

planning areasReview unmatched student

records and assign in-District records to planning areasDevelop final counts of

students by planning areas and by school year

FACT FINDINGGeocoded Student Record Summary

• Total Records – 165,718

• In District Records – 154,224

• Records Requiring Review – 11,222

FACT FINDINGGeocoding Live Birth Records

• Used to project Kindergarten enrollments

Last 10 Years (2005-2016)• Obtain live birth (mother’s address) data from Missouri Department of

Health and Senior Services (MoDHSS)• Assign Kindergarten cohort years based on birth month and year• Assign birth addresses to planning areas• Review unmatched birth records and assign in-District records to

planning areas• Develop final counts of births by planning areas and by Kindergarten

cohort year

Geocoded Birth Record Summary• Total Records – 29,896

• In District Records – 14,404

• Records Requiring Review – 15,492

FACT FINDING

Data Review and Purpose• To Account for, Locate, and Count All in-District Student and Birth

Record Addresses Within Planning Areas

Base Map Data Reports for Data Review• Planning Area Maps by Elementary Attendance Area• Address Points (individual addresses) by Planning Area and

Elementary Area• Street Centerlines by Planning Area and Elementary Area
