Impact if Approved by the Board of Education

Approximately 75 students from Node 384.8 will be reassigned from Adams to Olive Chapel Elementary. A portion of the Adams transportation area will be eliminated as base areas are assigned to the new year-round Laurel Park Elementary and additional nodes are assigned as base areas to other year-round schools. The Board of Education decided to expand the Adams transportation area for year-round applications and reassign year-round applicants from Oak Grove. The projected enrollment will fluctuate depending upon the number of year-round applications in February.

Reasons for Staff Recommendations

Capacity:  No change is planned for the nine mobile classrooms at Adams.

Crowding:  Adams will be below capacity until applications to the year-round program replace students the school will lose to the new Laurel Park year-round school. In calculating growth, the projection software applies the same growth factor to the year-round application students as it does to the students in base nodes. Since these are application students in a node and not base students, the impact of either losing or gaining students may not be as large as indicated.

Healthy Schools:  The Board decided that a node from Adams' base area be assigned to Olive Chapel Elementary to help raise the percentage of low-income families at Olive Chapel from 5% to 15%. The percentage at Adams will fall from 30% to about 21%.

Long Range Planning:  Additional schools opening through the 2011-12 school year should not impact Adams' base area or year-round application area.
