11. Advantages/Disadvantages to Boundary Scenario
Creates a new boundary for Ponderosa
Ponderosa opens as multi-track
Provides enrollment relief for Mann
Students who were on a single track calendar forced back to multi-track calendar
Allows Stoddard to go single track
Edison remains multi-track
Prevents Palm Lane from going back to multi-track
Ross and Revere are arguably underutilized
Consolidates Haster Street corridor
Ross demographics change from 14.8% of families under poverty line to 21.7%
Consolidates North Central Bussing
Palm Lane students moved from newly modernized school
Depending on numbers, some schools may be able to go single track in future years
Students moved out of Edison 3 years ago moved back into Edison
