Contiguous boundaries: Attempt to maintain contiguous school boundaries without using satellite

attendance areas.

Respect neighborhoods: Avoid dividing easily recognized “neighborhoods” or identified

“developments” or “sub- divisions” unless it is necessary to meet other guidelines. Whenever possible and practical use major highways, railroads, rivers, and streams as natural boundaries.

Proximity to schools: While it is recognized that all students cannot be assigned to their closest

school, consider students proximity to other schools when creating school boundaries.

 

School Board Priorities

8

Modify feeder systems: In order to maximize facility use and establish reasonable numbers of students at each site,

consider the use of 6 middle school feeder systems instead of 5. This would allow smaller, more instructionally suited middle schools and less dependence on mobile classrooms.

Stay within enrollment capacities: Unless it is likely that a school enrollment will be declining, assign students to the four high

schools in a way that their enrollments are under established capacities.

Consider anticipated growth: Enrollment growth patterns should be taken into consideration, where feasible, to ensure that

anticipated growth will not adversely impact one school significantly more than the others.

Enrollment balance: In keeping with the intent of SB612, attempt to balance the percentage of academic and

economic populations at each middle and high school.
