COMMUNITY COLLABORATION o Input Sessions – Annapolis HS, March 24 and Old Mill HS, March 26, o 87 participants o Survey #1 – posted to district website in English and Spanish and available from March 23 – May 20, o 512 participants o Feedback Sessions - Broadneck HS, May 27 and North County HS, May 28, o 20 participants o Survey #2 – posted to district website in English and Spanish and available from May 28 – July 3, o 794 participants

COMMUNITY COLLABORATION - FINDINGS o Repair identified building deficiencies – including roofs and HVAC. o General classroom issues – including correcting the open concept schools. o Size of schools – focusing initially on the size of high schools, but including all grade levels as new schools and additions are planned. o New schools in growing area(s) of the county – focusing on the north, west, and central county areas for ES and HS.

SCHOOL SIZE RESEARCH o The Impact of School Size on Student Achievement: Evidence from Four States EDRE Working Paper No Last Updated May 2013 o School/District Structure/Operations: School Size Education Commission of the States, 2015 o School Size Effects Revisited Springer Education Briefs, 2014 o School Size and its Relationship to Achievement and Behavior Public Schools of North Carolina, 2014 o Evaluation of the Gates Foundation’s High School American Institutes for Research, SRI International, National Evaluation of High School Transformation, 2006 o Maryland Equity Project Prepared for the Maryland State Department of Education, 2015

SCHOOL SIZE RESEARCH FINDINGS o No consistent definition for “small” and “large” schools. o Results vary widely; optimal sizes for high schools vary from 300 to 1,600. o Smaller schools tend to show an advantage: o academic achievement o student behavior o Many studies point to: o leadership structure o program offerings o extracurricular offerings o School size is only one factor. o Advantage of smaller schools may not be great enough to advocate for widespread school construction.

SCHOOL SIZE RECOMMENDATIONS o Policy to guide further master planning. o Preferred school sizes are: High School1,600 Middle School1,200 Elementary 600 o Policy should be a factor in determining master plan priorities. o Policy should be implemented on an ongoing basis. o High school size reduction should be one of the priorities as the master plan is implemented. o Monitor the progress of the proposed State small schools grant.

DEMOGRAPHICS - FINDINGS o Live births are projected to decrease. o Kindergarten capture rate is historically less than 100 percent, indicating some level of exodus of students out of the district. o Census data from 2000 to 2010 shows a decrease in elementary age children. o General consensus among stakeholders that the rates of building and migration into the county will increase as the economy improves. o Enrollments are projected to fluctuate slightly in the next few years, but show a modest increase by the end of the ten year planning period.
