Factors to Consider • Balanced enrollment in grade-level schools, anticipating growth • Students would remain with others from their community to attend the school nearest their community • Equitable distribution of students based on “socio-economic” status (Free/Reduced Lunch) • Equitable distribution of students based on ethnicity
Dangers To Avoid (if possible) • Moving one border community back and forth between schools in successive redistricting plans. • (within 5 years) • Students assigned to a school and would drive by a same grade-level school.
Services Utilized • Technology Management and Design (Department of Education, Don Berry) • ArcGIS Software • (University of Delaware, John Laznik) • eSchool (DOE) • Trapeze Redistricting Software (Tulowitzky)
