  1. School Restructuring Committee Mount Vernon City School District Subcommittee Research

  2. Goals • Schools and programs are high quality and comprehensive • Engage students • Support rigor, relevance and relationships to enhance student learning • Effective use of limited resources

  3. Potential Configuration Models Pre-K - 8th Pre-K - 4th / 5th – 8th (paired school) Pre-K – 2nd / 3rd – 5th / 6th – 8th (paired school) Pre-K – 1st / 2nd – 3rd / 4th – 5th / 6th – 8th (full Princeton plan) Pre-K – 5th (straight) Pre-K – 4th / 5 – 6th / 7th – 8th (three schools)

  4. How do we evaluate research? • Student achievement is, of course, only one factor districts must consider in making decisions about school configurations. • Fiscal constraints, projected enrollments, political tensions, school size, school and community goals, and geographic realities also come into play. • When Paglin and Fager examined eight schools with seven different grade-span configurations, they identified nine factors that district leaders should consider in determining the grade-span configurations of individual schools.

  5. Success Factors • Cost and length of student travel • Possible increase or decrease in parent involvement, which can be affected by the distance between home and school as well as the number of schools a family's children attend • Number of students at each grade level, which may affect class groupings and courses offered • Effect of school setting on achievement, particularly for grades 6-9 • Effect on whether the neighborhood schools close or remain open • Number of school transitions for students • Opportunities for interaction between age groups • Influence of older students on younger students • Building design and how well it suits current or desired grade levels Paglin and Fager

  6. Additional Considerations Developmental Characteristics by Demographic • Academic • Emotional • Physical Restructuring History • Closings • Expansions • Rezoning Traffic Safety • Arterial roads • Intersections What else should we consider that is unique to the Mount Vernon population? Please add.

  31. Weighing Success Factors for (Model) Student Travel* Pros • 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 *Site research resources wherever possible. Cons • 1 • 2 • 3 • 4

  32. Sample Guide K12 Scenarios What is the impact if we.. • Assign various student populations to other zones within district? • Extend the zone area for a specific school or schools? • Closed a school and reassigned students to other zones? • Built a new school or addition onto (school), what students would be moved to that zone? Please share your desired scenarios for research at the next meeting on September 19th.
