11. Boundary Options – Commonalities • None of the boundary options would result in a change of calendar for any school involved. • All three options involve boundary changes for Welby and would delay a change to a traditional calendar indefinitely. • Boundary options that involve Daybreak and Rose Creek include the same neighborhoods.

12. Boundary Options - Commonalities • Permits would be very limited at Eastlake and at any schools involved in the final boundary change. • Dual immersion students will have the opportunity to continue in the program. • All three options provide only temporary relief for the overcrowding at Eastlake.

17. Current Boundaries

18. Option A Considerations: • Permits: • Extremely limited • Boundary Longevity: • 3 years • Transportation: • Cost increase: • $40,000 • JSD increase: • $16,000 • Some new Daybreak students would no longer be eligible for busing. • All new Rose Creek Students would be bused. • Most new Welby students would now be eligible for busing. • Feeder Alignment: • Secondary school feeders would no longer be aligned for new students at Rose Creek. • High school feeders would no longer be aligned for Daybreak and Welby. Option A

19. Option 1 Overall Average Rating: 2.19 Option A

20. 2.60 4.65 1.29 Option A Ratings by Area Overall Average: 2.19 Option A 3.05 1.07 2.05 1.60 2.15

21. Option A Comments • “I like this option because it will give the most amount of time for Eastlake to be within enrollment capacity.” • “I do not think this boundary option is the best for the students in the Jordan Farms neighborhood because the feeder patterns do not work.” • “This option keeps my Daybreak neighborhood, North Shore, within Eastlake’s boundary.” • “Option A allows for the longest time frame before boundary changes will be required again.” • “I think this option impacts the most schools and students. I feel that the boundary change should impact the least amount of schools and students while still achieving the goal.”

22. Current Boundaries

23. Option B Considerations: • Permits: • Extremely limited • Boundary Longevity: • 2years • Transportation: • Cost increase: • $20,000 • JSD increase: • $8,000 • Some new Daybreak students would no longer be eligible for busing. • All new Rose Creek Students would be bused. • Some new Welby students would now be eligible for busing. • Feeder Alignment: • Secondary school feeders would no longer be aligned for new students at Rose Creek. • High school feeders would no longer be aligned for Daybreak and Welby.

26. Option B comments • “This option may provide the least expense of the options presented, but it divides neighborhoods and separates kids when they are sent to their feeder schools.” • “This is more favorable. You have children who live in close proximity attending the same schools. It is more likely the children can walk to school which would reduce the need for busing.” • “I really like this boundary change. I feel that it is central and will keep our neighborhoods together.”

28. Option C Considerations: • Permits: • Extremely limited • Boundary Longevity: • 2 years • Transportation: • Cost increase: • $40,000 • JSD increase: • $16,000 • Most new Welby students would now be eligible for busing. • Feeder Alignment: • High school feeders would no longer align for Welby.

31. Option C Comments • “This is the best option of the three. It follows major roads. It balances the enrollment better and also cuts down on additional portables.” • “I personally like that fewer schools are impacted which means less chaos overall.” • “This is the best option for my students at Rose Creek. I feel like we have been too crowded for many years.” • “This plan has a neighborhood that is close enough to walk to Eastlake being bused to Welby.” • “This is not the best option because it splits up neighborhoods.”
