[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They said they would be looking at paired elementary schools, so I'm curious if they will be considering eliminating that model and just having K-5 schools.[/quote]

Can you share who and when this was said? I work at one of the few paired schools and haven’t heard anything.[/quote]

It's in the superintendents slide deck on the elementary boundary study - Feb 26 presentation? But take a look at the acreage of each of those varied schools. A lot of these schools are on small acreage that can't accommodate further facility growth if one campus enlarges to accommodate the other campus integrating into it. [/quote]

It was from the Feb. 5th presentation. The slide called The Need:

1. To ensure we are fiscally responsible and properly investing funds
where needed by looking at factors such as:
a. Facility Condition
b. Utilization
c. Placement of relocatable classrooms
2. To address declining enrollment through Policy FAA Criteria 
(geographic proximity, demographics, utilization, stability of student 
assignment over time)
3. To ensure we are serving special education students closest 
to their home when possible
4. To address noncontiguous boundaries and island assignments 
5. To revisit the paired-school model[/quote]
