Work Session on High School Boundaries

Here's the link to both parts of today's Work Sessions; the first on high school boundaries and the second on the budget for 2018-2019.  Currently, the high school boundaries discussion is first, starting at 4:30 pm.  The Budget portion starts at 6 pm, with an Executive Session (closed to public), starting at 7 pm.

In case you missed it, here are the two options for HCC pathways:

At the January 3, 2018 School Board meeting, the Board asked staff to look at updated boundary scenarios based on two Highly Capable (HC) pathway models that would begin in 2019-20.

– Option 1: Three guaranteed pathways and one optional pathway long term: Lincoln as the North Pathway, Garfield as the South Pathway, West Seattle High School as the West Seattle Pathway, and Ingraham as the optional pathway.

– Option 2: Three guaranteed pathways and one optional pathway as outlined above for two years beginning in the 2019-20 school year until the 2021-22 school year. HC students would be served in all attendance area high schools beginning in the 2021-22 school year. 

 

I have not heard it stated out loud as such but 2018-2019 would be, what? Status quo or Option 1?  Anyone?

 

There are a number of maps, starting with a heat map of where HC eligible high school students come from. It is very heavily tilted towards the lower north, above the ship canal.   Most of the students are in Ballard (329) and Roosevelt (387) while Garfield has (182).  I'd say returning that number of students to their regional high school will definitely shift things.   

 

I see no numbers attached to Center School or Cleveland which I find odd.  As well, Ingraham, with 98, gets no shading at all but West Seattle HS, with 96), gets shading.  Since it says, "HCC eligible", I'm not sure why that is.

The Scenario Fv4.2 map shows that some schools would "right-size" themselves but some, like Franklin, would be way over their capacity.  Hale would be well-under their capacity as would WSHS.  I'm a little confused why Hale gets to stay so small; I thought their remodel brought them up to about 1300.

In the HS Scenario Comparison Table, page 15, I see these items:

For 2018-2019, Ballard's population would soar to over 2,000 (and I believe that is a record for modern-day SPS). Garfield would get about 1900 before it, too, starts its slide down. Ditto for Roosevelt. Chief Sealth will see a slow modest rise of about 200 students by 2021-2022. Ingraham would see the biggest rise, though, from 1342 to 1793. 

 

Page 18's map Attendance Area High School Proximity Polygons is fascinating because it shows the right size capacity of each comprehensive high school versus the number of 2016-2017 9-12th grade SPS residents (and I assume that does not include those in charter or private high schools).

The numbers are striking. RBHS has 1773 residents and 1176 capacity. Their enrollment is 721. WSHS has room for 1215 and yet only 700 residents. Ballard has capacity of 1607 and residents of 2027.

Here's the timeline from here on out for Enrollment but there is surely much more work in all directions after a decision is made:

• January 10, 2018–Board Work Session
• January17 , 2018–Board Introduction
• January20 , 2018–Admissions Fair for School Choice • January 31, 2018–Board Action
• February 5-16, 2018–Open Enrollment
• September 2019 – Changes implemented 

 

I probably will not be attending this meeting but I'll put up an Open Thread tomorrow for anyone who does and can give us feedback on the discussion.
