Attendance Center Analysis - Updated Summary 5-25-16

Options Analyzed 1. PK-2 South/3-5 West/6-8 East 2. PK-4 West/5-8 East/Close South 3. PK-3 West/4-8 East/Close South

1. PK-2 South/3-5 West/6-8 East Provides even number of grade levels per building, with exception of South with PK Keeps all buildings open Would cost the district around $65,000 in first year, largely due to increased transportation Costs would go down as student enrollment decreases over time Would keep a large amount of open space in each building heated/cooled but unused

2. PK-4 West/5-8 East/Close South East can contain 5-8 grade West, however, cannot adequately contain PK-4, if ATLAS and STARS programs continue Several rooms at West are inadequate to contain 25 elementary students This option is not an adequate solution

3. PK-3 West/4-8 East/Close South East can contain 4-8 grades, with room for potential overflow sections West can contain PK-3 grades, with room for potential overflow sections South cannot hold either scenario adequately, especially with concerns about potential overflow Cost factor would benefit the district in the neighborhood of $160,000 in first year, including considerations for increased transportation Costs would continue to fall as student enrollment drops over time Would eliminate need for HLS improvements of nearly $1,000,000 in the immediate future

Other factors Significant financial concerns with state of Illinois District enrollment continuing to decline FY16 - 9-12 – 340; 5-8 – 344; 1-4 – 313 FY 14 – 1164; FY15 – 1157; FY16 – 1100 Expected FY17 – under 1100, likely around 1085 No indication trend will reverse

Selection process Options 1 and 3 are viable Option 1 Option 3 meets goal of attendance centers will cost more than status quo Option 3 will provide significant cost reductions to status quo

Decision/Implementation timeline Expected decision and vote on June Board agenda If adopted, implementation would be for the 2017-18 school One year to prepare for the move, including staffing and transportation changes
