January 20, 2016 Issue Worthington Schools enrollment has increased - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

January 20, 2016

Issue  Worthington Schools enrollment has increased by 672 in the last 4 years.  Enrollment projections indicate we will see an additional 624 students in the next 10 years.  While this number does not exceed the enrollment high point of the District in the past, it creates challenges due to reconfiguration, program changes and concentrated population increases.

Evening Street Elementary  Currently has 579 students enrolled (514 housed in the building)  Our adjusted program capacity estimate for this building is 560.  Enrollment projections indicate that the enrollment will increase and could reach 645 in the 21-22 school year.

How will the students get to and from school? • Students will ride the existing elementary bus to and from Evening Street.

Move a Grade Level to TWHS How many classrooms will be allocated to Evening Street? • 4 classrooms located on the second floor (NE corner) closest to Evening Street. The first floor classrooms are used for Science. Will the Evening Street students be isolated from high school students? • Processes and expectations will be established to minimize the interaction however, Evening Street students and high school students will be sharing the same space.
