Over Five Years
Closing Two Schools Saves $1.3 Million
Only 27% of the Problem
Other Solutions in Play – 73% of Problem
Use of New State Income (COLA)
Other Cuts in Personnel, Programs
Note – State Budget Proposal
Loss of $4.0 million?

5. Board Decisions and Direction on 2/5/08
The Board directed the Facilities Goals Committee to:
Rescore the remaining 18 elementary schools using the three revised Primary Criteria
Establish a ranking from this scoring analysis, from the best to the worst candidate for closure
Starting with the best candidate for closure, determine if the closure can significantly improve the balance of diverse students within the adjacent schools in the area. In addition, will the closure disrupt any SDC classes at the school, or result in unrealistic school boundaries or school sizes.
Recommend two schools for closure that have the highest possible ranking on the primary analysis, but also best balance diversity, minimize disruption to SDC programs and result in reasonable boundaries and school sizes.
Provide alternatives to the two schools recommended for closure
