Projected* SY 2017–18 enrollment distribution among 7 high schools need for action Projected* SY 2017–18 enrollment distribution among 7 high schools Arlington 690*/2,175 = 32% Arsenal Tech 1,808*/3,000 = 60% Broad Ripple 666*/2,400 = 28% Serving grades 8-12 in SY 2017-18 Crispus Attucks 699*/1,375 = 51% George Washington 403*/1,900 = 21% Serving grades 8-12 in SY 2017-18 Northwest 739*/2,125 = 35% Serving grades 8-12 in SY 2017-18 Shortridge 347*/1,475 = 24%

NOT RECOMMENDED (shown for illustration purposes only): need for action NOT RECOMMENDED (shown for illustration purposes only): Projected* 5,352 IPS high school students could fit in just 3 schools Arsenal Tech 3,000*/3,000 = 100% Arlington 2,175*/2,175 = 100% Crispus Attucks 177*/1,375 = 13% Note: This depiction only serves to further describe building utilization. It does not take into account the following critical factors for determining school locations: geography, academic programming/proposed academies, facilities & amenities, community resources, etc.

need for action This is an average of 2,517 students per high school In SY 1964–65, IPS had 25,172 high school students at 10 high schools This is an average of 764* students per high school Projected* for SY 2017–18, IPS will have 5,352 high school students at 7 high schools In the last 53 years, IPS has 19,820 fewer high school students but will operate only 3 fewer high schools Time to act is now

taskforce guiding statements Ensure the best possible learning environment for all students Create opportunities to collocate facilities and sell unnecessary buildings Maximize the use of the district’s high school facilities Develop a reuse plan for any building no longer needed by the district Safeguard taxpayer dollars by reducing operations, utilities, insurance and overhead costs to push more funding to classrooms Account for costs associated with transportation, IT, food service and other building operations

taskforce considerations: general Academic models Parking Utilization rates Athletic facilities Deferred maintenance Reuse of buildings Utility and operational costs Outstanding bonds Transportation costs/run times Competing districts and charters

taskforce considerations: instructional challenges High school support teams spread throughout 7 buildings, creating scheduling conflicts and allowing less time in each school Less funding per school for intervention; fewer afterschool and weekend tutoring opportunities Teachers teach more classes and have less time to prep for in-depth discussions Fewer students and resources per school Limited course offerings, especially for Honors and AP courses, due to staff being spread throughout district Inability to improve talent pool due to increased staffing needs

taskforce considerations: safety and cost Capacity Facility Operations SY 2017–18 projection of 37% utilization rate Capacity Spend $6,234,804 annually to operate underutilized facilities Facility Operations Projected to spend $6,236,185 annually to transport students to 7 high schools Transportation IPS has sold 7 buildings for just over $3M in revenue, while creating savings of over $200,000 in annual operational costs Sale of SCIPS ($12M) & Mallory ($1.65M) is currently pending Real Estate
