Brookings School District All Day Kindergarten Update Presentation Contains Projected Data
The Charge • Propose Plan that allows the district to offer all-day, every-day kindergarten
The Challenge • Find 5 classrooms • Find $200,000
Current Policy – JECB/JECCSection III, 2.Elementary School Standards a - b • When enrollment in grades K-5 reaches 22 students in any one class with a particular grade level, all other classes within that same grade level must also have 22 students before a 23 student may be added to any one particular class. This same concept must be applied to increase class size beyond 23 students. • Assignment preference occurs for any student when their older sibling has previously enrolled and currently attends the school to which the student desires to attend. • Classes exceeding acceptable size, as stated above, will be adjusted by the board where possible by requiring new enrollees to attend a school which has available space in that class. Students who are force transferred may not be changed for the remainder of the school year.
Proposed Change – JECB/JECC Section III, 2.Elementary School Standards a - d • To increase flexibility in student assignment and to increase parental choice, the district shall use the following guide to direct placement of elementary students: • When a K-1 student population within a particular building exceeds a 24-1 student to teacher ratio, any new enrolling student may be force transferred to another building. • When a 2-3 student population within a particular building exceeds a 26-1 student to teacher ratio, any new enrolling student may be force transferred to another building. • When a 4-5 student population within a particular building exceeds a 28-1 student to teacher ratio, any new enrolling student may be force transferred to another building. • No intra-district transfer request will be granted if the requested school’s student-to-teacher ratio exceeds 18 students to 1 teacher for the requested grade unless extenuating circumstances exist and must be approved by the superintendent.

Proposed Middle School Changes • Changes will allow district to maintain the middle school concept into the future. • This change places art, physical education, health, foreign language, industrial arts, life skills, keyboard and general music into something called a wheel. • The wheel will allow each student to take one quarter (nine weeks) of each of the above named subjects.
Art – Proposal • Current – Every middle school student takes one semester of art each year. • Proposed – Every middle school student would take one quarter (nine weeks) of art each year.
Physical Education – Proposal • Current – Every middle school student takes one semester of physical education each year. • Proposed – Every middle school student would take one quarter (nine weeks) of physical education each year.
Health - Proposal • Current – Every middle school student takes one semester of health each year. • Proposed – Every middle school student would take one quarter (nine weeks) of health each year. • Mr. Neiles anticipates revamping the health and physical education curriculums.

Foreign Language - Proposal • Current – Every eighth grade student takes one semester of foreign language. • Proposed – Every middle school student would take one quarter (nine weeks) of foreign language each year. • We offer both Spanish and German and would like to have students exposed to both.

Industrial Arts - Proposal • Current – Every seventh grade student takes one semester of Industrial Arts. • Proposed – Every middle school student would take one quarter (nine weeks) of Industrial Arts each year.
Life Skills - Proposal • Current – Every eighth grade student takes one semester of Life Skills. • Proposed – Every middle school student would take one quarter (nine weeks) of Life Skills each year.
