  2. Where are we now? Where are we now? • The Pre-K Through 8 concept has been presented to principals, staff, support individuals, and community members and parents • There is a plan to address students at the elementary school level • We have continued research on the concept • We have visited Pre-K Through 8 schools in other districts • Numerous staff meetings have been held to discuss questions and concerns • Work has been done to respond to Board issues • Additional scenarios have been created in response to Board requests • An “FAQ” document has been developed based on community, school, and staff concerns • A resource book of PK-8 research has been prepared for each campus How will we know when we get there? Where are we going?

  3. Where do we want to be? • PK-8 District-wide configuration with 70% approval of parents and staff • Continue to investigate the issue of performance drops and contextual issues from elementary to middle school • Communicate information about the Pre-K -8 School Configuration • Consider response from campuses regarding the desire to make movement forward in this area next year

  4. DISTRICT ACTIONS • Support, monitor, and evaluate the PK-6 Initiative • District-wide feasibility study for PK-8 2003-2004 * At the present time sufficient space is not available at every campus for the schools to keep their own 6th graders and “grow their own” PK-8 schools without boundary changes. * Campuses would have to secure a minimum of 70% approval for the PK-8 initiative from parents and staff members. * Financial resources must be evaluated to determine if there is funding available to provide for the following: Facility Modifications-Restrooms, science labs, cafeteria Classroom and Multimedia Resource Center materials that are age and grade appropriate Furniture that is grade and age appropriate Playground equipment * Implementation of PK-8 Initiative in 2004-2005/2005-2006 with new boundary changes
