1 Initial Report of Facility Study To the Board of Education June 12, 2007 Dave Bloom, John Frieden, Nancy Galbraith Mark Hepner, Tori Lindeman, Mike Oberhaus, Mike Russell, Ruth Ann Tobey- Brown, Pat Upchurch and Dennis Weiss

2 PURPOSE OF STUDY Utilize facilities to house students to maximize their potential achievement while operating in an efficient manner.

3 Conclusions 1. Each variable was scored individually for each housing option.The scores for a single variable across the housing options did have significant variance (from 1-4).However, the interaction between variables,sometimes in an inverse relationship, narrowed the range of the total scores for the housing options.

4 Conclusions 2. There was not much differentiation between scores in the base scoring model and the Board-Administration Perception Model.This would indicate that the weighting of the Board and Administrators did not have much impact on the results.

5 Conclusions 3. Four of the housing options,a,b,m and n did not score in the top six in any of the models.Three of the housing options,f,I and j scored in the top six scores in only one model.If the decisions were to be based solely on the models in this study, these housing options should not be considered any further.

6 Conclusions Based on model scores, recommend that these not be considered further

7 Conclusions 4. Four of the housing options,g1,c,d, and l are in the top six scoring options in at least three of the models included in this study.These housing options should be considered for further study.

8 Conclusions Based on model scores, further consideration should be given to these options

9 Conclusions 5. Seven additional housing options,e,g,h,k,o,p and q were in the top six scores in two of the models included in this study and may be considered for further study.

10 Conclusions Based on model scoring, these options may be given further consideration

11 Conclusions 6. Only two of the 18 housing options considered choice schools.To determine the demographics for housing options with choice schools required an extrapolation of the current data of where students reside that attend the choice school.This extrapolation was time consuming and may not reasonably predict the students that would actually attend the choice schools.

12 Conclusion 6 (continued) This diminished the reliability of the scoring of those options.Although the models did not indicate choice being a top scoring option, the prior success and continual waiting list for enrollment would indicate that further consideration should be given to this option.

13 Summary Beginning of process. Will have changes prior to decision Community input is vital prior to decision

14 Summary Beginning of process This study was intended to provide a view of of potential housing options for District 41. It is not exhaustive and many other housing options may be considered. The results should help to frame future discussion and may require analysis of housing options not included in this study.

15 Timeline

16 Timeline June 19 th, discussion of report To determine if additional housing options should be considered To determine if the 18 housing options presented may be reduced to a smaller number July 1 st begin community forums on study Gather input/feedback

17 Timeline During July and August solicit community input Report feedback received and changes to study to the Board of Education Superintendent recommendation in September Board of Education act on recommendation in October

18 Communication This presentation and a copy of the study will be posted on the District website by end of the week and available at the Public Library Will begin collecting input and feedback Cards for community to ask questions are available tonight Will answer the questions and create a frequently asked questions page on the District website Solicit questions on website or in writing Maintain FAQ segment on website
