April 6, 2010 Board Meeting
Agenda Item #39


Title
MODIFICATION OF ATTENDANCE ZONES

Description

Pursuant to School Board Policies 5.20 and 7.78, a Boundary Advisory Committee was formed in September of 2009 to study the under-enrollment at Englewood Elementary and the over-enrollment at Taylor Ranch Elementary, and to recommend possible actions.  The BAC presented two recommendations at the Board's December 8, 2009, Work Session; the Board directed staff to modify the proposed affected area and to schedule a Public Hearing.  The hearing was held at Taylor Ranch Elementary School on February 2, 2010, after which the Board discussed the issue at its February 16, 2010, Work Session.  The proposal is a phased redistricting that should add about 100 students to Englewood and subtract 100 students from Taylor Ranch. The proposal has been properly advertised.



Recommendation

That the School Board modify the attendance zones for Englewood and Taylor Ranch Elementary Schools as presented in the attached Walking Descriptions, becoming effective June 1, 2010, allowing currently enrolled Taylor Ranch students the opportunity to remain there, and allowing such students' siblings to attend with them.
