  3. Task Force Meetings • Topics discussed and considered when comparing the two models (6/7-8/9 or two 6-9) • What’s working in our secondary program? • Transitions and Relationships • Transportation • Role of Extra-curricular activities • Academic Options and Stretch Opportunities

  4. Highlights from Task Force work • One Lapeer concept was a central theme • Great discussion around the issue of transitions • Focusing our efforts on incorporation of 9th grade into the high school program • Maintenance and expansion of the teaming concept • Select the option that best supports the district’s new theme of extended stretch and support • Logistics should not drive the decision • Transportation was a significant consideration

  5. Recommendation • Rolland-Warner will serve as the 6/7 facility • Zemmer will serve as the 8/9 facility • Positives • One Lapeer concept • Easier to focus on college/career readiness for 8/9 grades under one roof • Continuity and vertical alignment of programming • Same stretch and support opportunities available • Linkage of 8/9 start time and program with LHS • Legitimate community voice helped shape this plan
