Plan Calls for Elementary Attendance Area Adjustments in 2012
Joel Gallihue, manager of School Planning, presented the redistricting recommendations for the 2012-2013 school year, which are designed to use capacity available in the southeast region of the county by shifting some western attendance areas eastward. The plan affects the following 10 elementary schools: Atholton, Bollman Bridge, Dayton Oaks, Forest Ridge, Fulton, Gorman Crossing, Guilford, Hammond, Laurel Woods, and Pointers Run.
Recommendations presented in the report would move an estimated 1,220 students, or 5.4 percent of current elementary enrollment, and would take effect in August 2012. The recommendation balances the use of available capacity with transportation considerations like distance traveled and maintenance of walk areas. Gallihue notes that the plan successfully balances capacity without substantial negative impact to other considerations – such as test scores, the number of students receiving free and reduced price meals, etc, -- and delays the need for Elementary School #42 until 2019 or later. This stage of redistricting would be decided November 17, 2011 and become effective in August 2012.
