Reasons for Staff Recommendations
Capacity: No change is planned for the 13 mobile units at this campus. A reduction in the school's base assignments can make room for additional applicants for the traditional calendar program or removal of some of the thirteen mobile classrooms located on the campus.
Crowding: The school is currently overcrowded because of the temporary placement of about 102 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. If the Court of Appeals does not intervene, the Growth and Planning Department will make further recommendations regarding traditional calendar assignments for 2008-09 later this spring.
Healthy Schools: Weatherstone's percentage of students from low-income families will fall from 25% to 19%, which is low but comparable to some neighboring schools.
Long Range Planning: Future schools opening in 2009, 2010, and 2011 are not expected to significantly impact the attendance area of this school.
