  2. Focus of Recommendations • Has a minimal impact on instruction, • Provides for additional capacity, • Considers the number of students moved while still addressing crowding, • Is fiscally responsible, and • Limits impact on existing schools and/or programs.

  3. Elementary Recommendations • Short-Term • Manage enrollment/capacity issues through • Installing modular classrooms as needed, • Identifying reserve capacity, and/or • Moving programs to increase school capacity • Continue to monitor and cap enrollment, as needed, at schools with the ability to control enrollment

  4. Elementary Recommendations • Short-Term (continued) • 3. Effective September 2009, make the following adjustments to existing elementary school boundaries: • Move Planning Units 1706 and 1708 from Nottingham to Taylor, • Move Planning Unit 4818 from Long Branch to Hoffman-Boston, and • Move Planning Units, 4807, 4809, and 4811 from Oakridge to Hoffman-Boston

  5. Elementary Recommendations Long-Term Utilize future added capacity provided by a new elementary school to be developed at the Wilson School site in one of two ways – EITHER: A. Relocate the current ASFS (maintaining current enrollment and admissions policies) to the new Wilson School site (capacity approximately 500) when the project is completed in five or six years and use the current ASFS site to create a new neighborhood school. OR B. Relocate Arlington Traditional School (ATS) (maintaining current enrollment and admissions policies) to the new Wilson School site (capacity approximately 500) when the project is completed in five or six years and use the current ATS site to create a new neighborhood school.

  6. Middle School Recommendations Short-Term Recalculate middle school capacity by applying a 6/7 classroom model instead of the current 5/7 model. Long-Term Develop a process, to begin in Spring 2009, that will create a long-term solution for middle school crowding

  7. Other Elementary Options Considered • Relocate ATS program to Hoffman-Boston • Relocate ATS program to Henry • Make Significant Boundary Moves • Build out Reed to Create a New Elementary School • Create a New Countywide Choice School or Replicate an Existing Choice School • Provide Countywide Transportation for Barcroft, Barrett, Campbell, and Randolph
