High School Boundary Committee Purpose and Goals • Purpose: Review high school boundary options prepared by the District’s demographer and recommend one option to the Governing Board for adoption at the March 21, 2013, Board meeting • Boundary changes would be implemented for the 2013-2014 school year • Beginning with incoming freshmen only • Goals: – Balance the three high schools’ student population relative to their capacity – To the extent possible, develop ‘clean’ feeders 4

Considerations/Methodologies • Major streets and barriers • Site capacity, enrollment projections and current programs • Curricular considerations • Transportation, including walking, public transit and personal vehicles • Community make-up/composition (keeps areas together) • Boundaries as they relate to feeder school patterns 5

High School Boundary Committee Committee Recommendation Option 4 6

Fairfield Suisun Unified School District High School Boundary Committee Option 4 Boundary Recommendation Rationale Recommended • Keeps community areas together • New attendance boundaries follow clean geographical lines • Maintains stability of community area surrounding Bransford/Sullivan (creates the least impact/disruption for this area) • Creates a unified Suisun City community feeding into the closest high school (Armijo) • Improvement over current boundaries relative to feeder patterns • Easier for educators to collaborate on curriculum • Smallest peak variance of distribution between the number of students in comparison to the number of classrooms at each high school site • Increases Fairfield High School student population relative to its capacity, which will allow the school to expand curriculum offerings • Allows for room at Rodriguez High School and Fairfield High School to accommodate future development growth • School routes are more accessible to families whether taking public transportation, walking or driving • Average distance is the lowest of all boundary options considered • Sheldon Elementary attendance area has better access, within walking distance to the high school (Armijo)

Fairfield Suisun Unified School District High School Boundary Committee Boundary Recommendation Rationale Option 1 • Area surrounding Bransford/Sullivan has been impacted Not with recent boundary changes/school closures; Option 1 Recommended would yet again impact this community • Disrupts community flow • The Paradise Valley neighborhood (the most Option 2 Not North/East section of the District) would attend the high Recommended school located in the most South/West section of the District (Rodriguez High School); highest average distance from residence to high school • Sheldon Elementary attendance area would attend Option 3 Not Rodriguez High School; higher distance to travel and Recommended increased potential for transportation issues
