Title: PL2 - Tentative Approval of Attendance Boundary Change – Grassy Waters Elementary School

Recommendation:

I recommend that the School Board provide tentative approval for the Advisory Boundary Committee’s recommendation of Boundary Study G-1, modifying attendance boundaries of Grassy Waters and Egret Lake elementary schools.

Description:

This recommendation provides enrollment relief for Grassy Waters Elementary School. Boundary Study G-1 recommends shifting a portion of SAC 137 to Egret Lake Elementary School.

October FTE enrollment at Grassy Waters was 954 students. Projected enrollment at Grassy Waters Elementary over the next three years exceeds 1100 students. CSR capacity at Grassy Waters is 967. October FTE enrollment at Egret Lake Elementary was 491 students. Projected enrollment over the year three years with no change shows enrollment at 547 students. CSR capacity at Egret Lake is 724.

The proposed change will move approximately 161 students to Egret Lake Elementary in SY2007-08.

A Community Input Meeting was held September 14, 2006 at Jeaga Middle School. Notification was provided to parents of students potentially affected by the changes, as well as principals of schools included in the study. Two parents who reside within SAC 137 attended the September 14^th Community Input Meeting speaking against the proposed change. Copies of boundary change correspondences are available for review in the Board Minutes Office.

On September 21, 2006, the Advisory Boundary Committee voted 10-0 to recommend Boundary Study G-1 amended to the Superintendent.
