Our Student Assignment Planning (SAP) process led by Sarita Smith, Director of Student Assignments, in collaboration with our community-based SAP Committee is moving full steam ahead with the goal of presenting recommendations to the School Board at the March 14 Regular Board Meeting.
Follow-up from the Interactive Data Presentations
Last month, a series of interactive community presentations were held that focused on the fall SAP survey data as well as virtual discussions focused on neighborhood schools, selective enrollment, and magnet programs. We are grateful to the over 300 individuals who attended and shared their perspectives. If you weren’t able to attend, tune in to a short video presentation and also review the community thoughts shared as part of the events.
Master Facility Planning Report
On Monday, February 14, a Master Facilities Plan Report was presented at the Finance Committee Meeting. This included detailed information on enrollment projections, building capacities, facility needs, and more. Watch the recording and view the resources.
Next Steps: Student Assignment Scenarios
We know our community cares deeply about our schools and creating an equitable Student Assignment Plan is critical for our future. While preparing to present a recommendation from the SAP Committee to the School Board related to attendance-area boundaries, program changes, and district footprint, we first brought scenarios forward to our community for feedback. Scenarios were driven by the guiding principles established by the SAP Committee, data gathered from Master Facility Planning, and community perspective.
We hosted several sessions to present scenarios to our community and obtain feedback and gather questions. All sessions covered the same content, lasted one hour, and included Spanish interpretation. Sessions were held virtually due to the pandemic on:
- Sunday, February 27, at 2:00 pm
- Tuesday, March 1, at 5:30 pm
- Wednesday, March 2, at 7:00 pm
