Katonah-Lewisboro: It matters where you draw the lineSaveKLSchools
The document discusses errors found in slides presented by the superintendent Dr. Kreutzer advocating for the closure of Lewisboro Elementary in 2014. Specifically, three slides contained misplaced red lines separating actual and projected enrollment numbers, with all showing decreased projections on the actual side of the line. This raises questions about whether an upswing in 2013 enrollment was being avoided from being shown, or if the flawed data presented to the public was the result of sloppy work or a coordinated effort to mislead. The document calls for suspending the work of the School Closure Task Force and stopping the process until the issues are addressed.
Teachers and school districts spend millions each year on testing and assessments. The Wise app seeks $500K in funding to develop a mobile grading platform that uses question recognition technology to grade exams of up to 100 questions digitally. This provides data and reporting benefits while validating a subscription payment model that could generate $2 million in annual revenue. The management team, comprised of teachers and education technology founders, has already invested over $100K and seen over 700 app downloads in the first 10 weeks of a beta launch.
- The current enrollment in the Katonah-Lewisboro School District is roughly equal to levels in the 1990s, though projected to grow with increased existing home sales to young families.
- Projected enrollment excluding existing home sales forecasts a decline, but including historical levels of existing home sales could increase enrollment by over 1,000 students in the next 5 years.
- The district's expenditures per pupil are over 20% higher than comparable districts and 35% more than the state average, though closing a school would have a minimal impact on reducing these costs.
- With healthy budget and fund balances, delaying a school closure decision for 2 years would cost an estimated $3.4 million, a small percentage of
Katonah-Lewisboro School Closure: Response to 10/21/13 Public HearingSaveKLSchools
The school board may vote to close Lewisboro Elementary in 2014 due to declining elementary school enrollment over the past 20 years. At a public hearing on 10/21/2013, the superintendent Dr. Kreutzer presented a case for closure, showing a correlation between declining housing sales and enrollment, with a statistical correlation of 0.85 indicating a strong relationship. Closing a school would not lower taxes as projected and there is no need to rush into a closure, instead they should get a new demographic report considering the impact of full day kindergarten and an expected uptick in housing sales in the next two years.

This document discusses enrollment cyclicality in the Katonah-Lewisboro school district. It notes that the district has historically experienced peaks and troughs in kindergarten, total student, and senior enrollment every 20-30 years due to the unique demographics of the affluent suburb of Lewisboro. The last enrollment peak was in the mid-1970s, with a trough in the mid-1980s. The document projects that based on this cyclical pattern, the district should expect another enrollment peak within the next 5-10 years. It questions what plans the district has to handle the anticipated peak and how it will manage periods of lower enrollment.
Katonah-Lewisboro: Another look at cost per student numbersSaveKLSchools
The document discusses cost per student spending in the KLSD School District and presents numbers from a board meeting on the topic. It shows that with small budget increases, the projected cost per student by 2020 would be $50,125. With no budget increases, it would still be a high $45,842. However, these numbers are misleading because they do not account for context around declining enrollment. If enrollment could be stabilized at 3,150 students, the 2020 cost per student would be a more reasonable $39,878. Rather than closing a school, stabilizing enrollment through community cooperation would be a better solution to control costs.

The document provides an overview of Gothic novels and their key themes and features. Gothic novels emerged in late 18th century England and featured supernatural elements like ghosts and monsters. They were a reaction against the social changes and industrialization of the time, expressing a fascination with intense emotions and a rejection of constraints. Notable Gothic works included The Castle of Otranto and Frankenstein, which dealt with themes of overreaching beyond limits, penetrating nature's secrets, and the dangers of scientific progress. Frankenstein in particular commented on usurping the female role in creation and the resulting social injustices faced by its monster protagonist.
