Review and Discussion on Board Policy and Procedures Section 602.16 Specialized School Downtown Elementary

Policy Change Options Option A - Leave as is Option B - Adjust criteria for enrollment priority and/or configuration Option B1 - Prioritize District residency rather than employment status ● Option B2 - Change configuration (e.g., K-6; Middle/Jr. High; CDS) ● Option B3 - Adjust enrollment and configuration ● Option C - Close the School

Boundary Change Options Option 1 - Leave as is Option 2 - Draw boundary for an elementary configuration Option 3 - Draw boundary for a middle school or junior high configuration

Option 2 K-6 Elementary Hills 218 Total Students Estimated Capacity = 320 students 102 Permit Capacity K-8 Elementary 262 Total Students Estimated Capacity = 320 students 58 Permit Capacity Franklin

Important Considerations ● Is this a policy issue, boundary issue, or both? ● If the policy is changed when will the change take effect? ● Changing to a middle school configuration may not be allowed by CDE due to space ● Making boundary changes apart from the District’s boundary change process may have negative consequences

Recommendation ● Consider a policy change Remove current enrollment criteria ○ Begin with incoming Kindergarten applicants ○ Phase in any configuration change ○ ● Add Downtown to boundary committee discussion Coincide any changes with changes across the District ○ Allow for consideration of impact District-wide ○
