C H A R G E O F T H E C O M M I T T E E

• Keep an objective view of the process and consider the needs of ALL PUSD students.

• Share institutional knowledge and local experience with the rest of the committee.

• Share discussion topics with friends and other community members and provide comments back to the committee.

• Help to develop a recommendation that will be viable for implementation.


Q U E S T I O N S F R O M L A S T T I M E

• Q: What is the goal, how many schools do we need to recommend closing. What is the savings target?

• A: There is no cost savings goal, it is not the primary objective. The primary objective is the align programs increasing efficiency and opportunity for all students. The administrative goal is to lease out any excess facilities to an

educational tenant for a fixed amount of time.



• Q: Which capacity numbers will we be using?

• A: 2016-18 WLC EMP Report



• Q: There is talk about re-opening Linda Vista, it seems counterintuitive to what we are trying to do?

• A: San Rafael is a program that is in demand and requires more room. One of the goals is to reduce the excess facilities so that more dollars can be put into programs to increase demand. Hopefully, after this plan is in place, programmatic improvements at

the remaining schools will drive enrollment and more closed schools may need to be opened.

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK


S U RV E Y

• We are building an online survey that will allow community members to direct questions and comments to the members of this committee.

• Comments will be compiled and sent to committee members one week before each meeting. The survey link will remain up throughout the process.

• We will dedicate 15 – 20 minutes at the start of each committee meeting for members to share comments with the entire group.


CRITERIA & CONSIDERATIONS


R E M E M B E R T H I S ?LETS DIVE DEEPER

• Cost benefits of varying property disposition/use options

• Transition strategies• Aesthetics of facility• Environmental factors• Historical and/or monumental

significance• Effect on neighborhoods• Number of students affected by school

closure• School performance• School size – the size of a school

(small/large) affects class size and the creation of grade combination classes

• Low student populations – there are drawbacks from having only 1 or 2 classes at a grade level, which can happen at a very small school (could require grouping students with disparate needs together, could be lack of choice of teachers, could be difficulty in separating students such as siblings or behavior conflicts)

• Transportation (SPED & Gen ED) –current level of services and costs of proposed changes

• Open enrollment – what are the numbers and/or percentages of students at their home school versus not at their home school

• Current school boundaries and any issues with overlaps (i.e. Linda Vista and San Rafael)

• School feeder patterns• Number of schools required based on

enrollment (compare to other School Districts)

• Analyze last round of closures, anticipated savings, and real savings (e.eg. How many students left the district for private/charter schools? What is the staff time necessary to monitor charter schools and legal costs associated with them?)

• Charter schools waiting for space• Small school options

• Consider impact of open enrollment• Consider a hybrid solution• Consider the need size for the schools• Consider total enrollment for the

district• Socio economic integration• Neighborhood enrollments – proximity

to schools• Neighborhood school –vs- specialty

program schools• Where are neighborhood schools

needed – transportation
