8. WCPSS Board Policy 4150 Student Assignment
Student Achievement
Minimizing high concentrations of low-performing students at each school; and
Minimizing high concentrations of students from low income families at each school.
Stability
Students will have the opportunity to stay at the same school with their siblings through the exit grade without experiencing involuntary changes in school assignment. 
Proximity
Base school assignments will be within a reasonable distance of the student's home.
Operational Efficiency
Minimizing under-enrolled schools;
Minimizing overcrowded schools;
Maximizing transportation efficiencies.

9. Commitments from BoE Retreat - February, 2016
For new school openings – expand the impact area if it allows for greater alignment with the Student Achievement Pillar;
Build more capacity centrally, between I-440 and I- 540;
Continue to seek ways to balance diversity in schools in an area - similar to what was done when opening Pleasant Grove ES and Pine Hollow MS.

10. Administrative Actions from BoE Retreat - February, 2016
Highlight where changes in the annual enrollment plan promote student diversity in schools;
Ensure the annual enrollment plan includes data on the diversity of new school populations.
