TOKAY COLONY AND LIVE OAK ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS:FUTURE ENROLLMENT LODI UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING MARCH 5, 2013
PROPOSAL FROM MRS. RENHULT • Restore the Harney Lane Migrant Camp students to the Tokay Colony attendance area. • Increase staffing at Tokay Colony from 4 teachers to 6 teachers which reduces the number of combination classes ( K/1 only) • Live Oak enrollment numbers reduce, requiring the displacement of 2 teachers. • Would reduce the number of combination classes at Live Oak if 4th and 5th grade teachers agree to take a few more than 32 students and the 6th grade teacher has a small class.
ENROLLMENT TRENDS • The incoming enrollment for Tokay Colony students and Harney Lane Migrant Camp students is declining: Kindergarten Students 2012-13: 4 – Tokay Colony 4 – Harney Lane 2013-14: 4* – Tokay Colony 6 – Harney Lane (*9 K’s registered with 5 requesting IDA’s) • Over time, Tokay Colony will reduce to a very small school with approximately 10-12 students per grade level, requiring combination classes. If the migrant students were moved to Tokay Colony, eventually they will be isolated as a group. During the months the migrant students leave, the class enrollments will be even smaller.
STAFF’S PLAN FOR 2013-14 • Move Tokay Colony Kindergarten and first grade students to Live Oak or to an intra-district requested school for 2013-14. • Reduce staffing at Tokay Colony from 4 teachers to 3 teachers. • Retain the 2nd, 3/4, and 5/6 classes at Tokay Colony for 2013-14. • Hold a community forum in August 2013 to discuss with the Tokay Colony community the future of the school and review possible new boundaries affecting Live Oak, Lockeford, and/or Victor Schools.
PROPOSAL FOR 2013-14 • Allow M & O to review Live Oak’s, Lockeford’s, and Victor’s ability to support additional students. • Allow the Tokay Colony teachers the opportunity to participate in the first transfer posting in 2014.
