10.11:10:24Approval of New Attendance Area Boundaries for Neighborhood SchoolsAction
Selena Holder (0min) — Comment card submitted in favor of Scenario 2 but speaker was not present at the meeting.
Kitty Aguilera (2min) — A Hampton Oaks neighborhood resident with two young children implored the board to approve Map 3, citing safety, walkability, and community cohesion concerns about being assigned to Garfield School under Maps 1 or 2.
Item details
Rationale: In the last five months, we embarked on a process we called the Neighborhood Schools Attendance Boundary Change Study. This school boundary change study, to shift the attendance boundaries of the seven RCSD neighborhood schools, comes after the moves and mergers of programs and consolidation of schools approved in late 2018. The Board action on November 28, 2018, took place due to an independent financial consultant's conclusion that with declining enrollment, RCSD could not sustain 16 schools with the then 7,500 student enrollment. Today, the school district operates 12 schools with an enrollment of close to 7,200 students as Bay Area families continue to move out of the region. The goal of this process is to assign a neighborhood school to families who live in the former Fair Oaks Neighborhood, the Former John Gill Neighborhood, the former Hawes Neighborhood, and the former Selby Lane Neighborhood. We began the process in February when our demographer, DecisionInsite/Hoonuit, met with district staff to study Board Policy 5116, the Board of Trustees' policy on school attendance boundaries, our enrollment and School of Choice processes, and to gather data on the capacity at each of our facilities. Using Board Policy 5116, our demographer presented two different scenarios to you in May and a third map was created in early July based on community feedback from the first community input form, a public hearing, and a subcommittee that included two Trustees, President Lawson and Trustee McBride. A second community input form and public hearing were used to solicit input and discuss the third scenario. Financial Impact: None at the moment. Submission for Approval Prepared by: John R.
