Reasons for Staff Recommendations
Capacity: No change is planned for the thirteen mobile units at Davis Drive Elementary during the coming year. However, staff will recommend that mobile classrooms be relocated in the next several years, reducing the use of mobile classrooms on this campus and moving toward optimal use of the core facilities within the school.
Crowding: The school is currently overcrowded both because of the size of its base area and by temporary placement of about 40 students whose parents did not consent to assignment to a year-round school. If the Court of Appeals supports the Board of Education's right to assign students to year-round schools, staff will recommend that those students attend their base year-round assignment and reduction of base assignments will eliminate crowding problems at the school.
Healthy Schools: Staff wants to raise the percentage of students from low-income families to make the school more comparable to other schools in that area of the county. The approved plan will raise the percentage from 9% to 18%.
Long Range Planning: Future schools opening in 2009, 2010, and 2011 are not expected to significantly impact the attendance area of this school.
