The Superintendent Boundary Focus Group analyzed the first “supposal” for possible boundary changes for elementary schools during its second meeting on November 15. RSP and Associates, the district’s consultant on boundary changes, revealed a supposal that included changes to many schools, including closing five schools.
“What we need to remember that supposals are suggestions, not final boundary decisions,” said Superintendent John Allison. “This is where we begin the process, but there will be more supposals, discussions and opportunity for community feedback in January before the Board of Education makes its final vote in February.”
The elementary schools suggested to close are Bryant, Lincoln, Mueller, Payne and Woodland Elementaries. The reasons for possible closure include the school's ability to accomodate projected growth, ability for the school to be expanded to accommodate future capacity, and the building's overall condition.
Also as part of the supposal, there was a list of schools receiving possible additions, which include Allen, Black, Earhart, Enterprise, McCollom, McLean, OK, Price-Harris and Ortiz. The reasons for possibly adding additions to those schools and adding more students include FEMA storm shelters, overcrowding at some schools, class size reduction, eliminating classroom portables and addressing future enrollment changes.
