• Untethering our Intentional Integration Initiative from our Construction efforts, due to the innate spontaneity of construction.

• Utilizing a modified Berkeley Approach for our Integration methodology, an algorithm will be developed that creates micro-neighborhoods and utilizes the following variables for student placement:  

  • • Parental Education Level;

    • Parental Income;

    • Sibling Preference; and,

    • Proximity

• Pacing of our Integration with a Pilot of the Kindergarteners entering our District in September of 2021.

• Year 2 of the III would address the next group of Kindergarteners entering our district in September of 2022, as well as 6th graders entering middle school that year.

• Attendance Zones:  The District will continue to be divided into three elementary school zones.  Students who reside in a zone will continue to have priority to the schools in their zones.  The District will periodically review the zone boundaries to assess whether because of housing patterns and population changes they continue to provide student diversity and appropriate seating capacity.

• An important update that was also previously discussed and recently emphasized was that Marshall and Jefferson cannot become independent K-5 spaces until the construction of those buildings is completed. Therefore the schools will continue to function as a K-2 and a 3 - 5 school respectively.  Furthermore, it was also shared that the classrooms in our District that currently house our kindergartners will remain the same for next year (unless there is a significant change in the enrollment expected). 

****While the District monitors the impact of III via racial demographics, race is not a determinant for placement.****
