Impact if Approved by the Board of Education

Approximately 212 students from nodes 136.0 and 419.2 will be reassigned from Combs to Dillard Elementary in order to expand the Dillard Elementary base and replace students Dillard will lose to the new Laurel Park Elementary. Approximately 55 students from nodes 444.1 and 444.2 will be reassigned from Hunter to Dillard. Dillard will send 76 students from nodes 382.2, 382.3, 382.4, and 551.0 to the new base area for Laurel Park Elementary and 182 students to Oak Grove to expand the base area for Oak Grove Elementary from nodes 070.1, 070.3, 418.3, 418.4, 418.6, 424.5, and 641.0.

Reasons for Staff Recommendations

Capacity:  The addition of two six-classroom modular units has been initiated by staff and leads to the increase in the capacity at Dillard Elementary. Core facilities will support this expansion.

Crowding:  Overcrowding will be eliminated and seats can be made available for applicants to the traditional calendar program.

Healthy Schools:  Changes suggested by staff will lead to a small decrease in the percentage of low-income students at Dillard from 38% to 35% and a rise in the percentage at Oak Grove from 9% to 19%. The exchange of students recommended by staff allows Dillard to serve areas closer to the school and reduce the size of base assignments to Hunter, which is a magnet school.

Long Range Planning:  Future schools opening in 2009, 2010, and 2011 are not expected to significantly impact the attendance area of this school.
