1. Attendance Center Analysis - Updated
Summary

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. Other factors Significant financial concerns with state of Illinois
District enrollment continuing to decline
FY – 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

7. 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

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