The Student Reassignment Committee met on August 14, 2012. They reviewed scenarios for reassigning students to schools in order to address issues like school overcrowding and balancing student demographics. The committee recommended scenario HS 02, Rev. 1 for high schools, scenario MS 03, Rev. 1 or MS 05, Rev. 1 for middle schools, and scenario ES 02 for elementary schools. They will consider additional requests from the committee at their next meeting on September 10.

7. 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.

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.
