Boundary Work Session Today

Here's the agenda for today's Board Work Session on boundaries.  It's mostly about Magnolia, Licton Springs/RESMS and Maple/Van Asselt elementaries.

• Looks like Green Lake is overcrowded with no room for portables (which I find weird because they have a huge playground).  Boundaries may need adjustment but probably not for the next school-year.

• The agenda states that Maple is the district's largest Title One Elementary school.  They plan a boundary change when the new Wing Luke building is done but need to provide relief now for Maple and there is room at Van Asselt.  I'll just point out that it's not about building condition; both Maple and Van Asselt are in relatively new buildings in good condition.

• Staff blandly stated that RESMS building "cannot accommodate both RESMS and Licton Springs given growth of both schools."  I call foul on that and I hope the Board does as well. Staff is trying to say the building was built for one size and yet, the promise was that Licton Springs would have space for 250 students.  That clearly wasn't done so the "promise" to Licton Springs has been very clearly broken. 

Their solutions are:
- boundary change
- move HCC (or "add additional site" for them) That would lead to a big "where?"
- move or program change for Licton Springs.  Unless they get a building of their own, this is pretty much a no go from that community.  I think most want to stay at RESMS because of the heritage of the property and its value to their program.  But, if the district gave them a building near good transportation, I think they might consider that.  But given how they are treated at RESMS, it would seem near-impossible to keep them there.

But we got here mostly because of the boundaries for Whitman.  Why that is not on the table is a mystery; again, hope Board directors ask for real data.

I note that JAMS - by district data - is just about right-sized and, given the discussion at the RESMS meeting, some parents would move their kids to JAMS but certainly not all. So maybe 30-40 students.

• Looks like Mercer is also overcapacity and they say that they will need a boundary change (which would mean one elementary would have to go to another middle school, likely Washington, I would guess.)  But they say it might be minimal if Mercer gets renovated under BEX V.
