Approved High School Boundary

High School Boundary Addendum Considerations

The High School Boundary Committee respectfully submits the following considerations to the School Board and District Administration to analyze and study for possible implementation.  We understand that each recommendation requires further study to determine feasibility and affordability.

• Middle School Capacity
• Central/Emerson Students
• Staging of Modernization at SHS

Middle School Capacity

The District is encouraged to explore ways to increase capacity at Centennial to allow students living in the Central/Emerson school boundaries to feed to Centennial Middle School instead of Valley View Middle School, thus providing those students K-12 continuity.

Central/Emerson Students

• As long as Central/Emerson continues to feed to Valley
  View, 8th graders who live in the Central/Emerson
  attendance boundaries and who attend Valley View should
  be given priority variance status to attend the New High School.
• Additionally, the district should consider providing this
  priority variance to Central/Emerson students for the
  duration of their high school careers.
• If at all possible, the District should provide transportation
  for high school students living in the Central/Emerson attendance boundaries who choose in the 8th grade to variance to the new high school.

Staging of Modernization at SHS

Given the initial disparity in student enrollment between the two high schools, with higher enrollment at SHS, special consideration should be given, in terms of timing and staging, to the remodeling at SHS to maximize facility use.
