7. Summary • More Families prefer Choice of Middle School to being fed to Hoover, with the Chinese families preferring Hoover, and a majority of English and Spanish-speaking families preferring Choice. • Most Spanish and English speaking families prefer Choice whether or not they have a car. • Most Chinese speaking families prefer Hoover whether or not they have a car. • Most families who have more than one sibling (younger one still at Monroe) want a choice of where to send their kids to middle school. • Most families who live in the furthest zip codes (more than a 30-minute drive from Hoover) prefer choice. • Most families who live more than a 20-minute drive from Hoover want a bus. • About 1/3 of those who prefer Choice would be okay with Hoover if there were a bus. • Very few of the families who live in the 94112 zip code (<%5) have cars. • Most families in the 94112 zip code want a bus to Hoover regardless of language, program, or preference for Hoover or choice.

8. Conclusions • Monroe families are split along language lines as to whether we want Hoover or Choice for Middle School • A large percentage will need a bus because either: • They do not have a car • They have younger siblings at Monroe and it is a hardship to transport both children to school • Start time for immersion programs are very early in the morning • Other potential needs: • After School Programs • Clarification around what happens if families don’t put Hoover first, and if this leads to the risk of being placed in other schools not on their list of choices • Clarification around elective options and how they will be preserved
