DMGroup used three dimensions to develop a comprehensive set of possible options for ABRSD to consider for re-organization; approaches to enrollment policies will be handled separately.
Dimensions of Re-Organization Options
Facilities
Schools & Programs
Grade-Levels
Maintain 4 elementary buildings (Short Term vs. Long Term Renovations)
Keep the design of schools & programs the same (i.e. 6 distinct elementaries)
Keep grade-levels K-6
Shift from 4 elementary buildings to 3 buildings (Close a building)
Maintain 6 individual schools but allow for varying enrollment levels by sharing staff and resources within common buildings
Organize schools by smaller grade-level bands (i.e. Grades K-3 and 4-6) Convert elementary schools to grades K-5, and move all 6th graders to Junior High to make a Middle School
Shift from 6 schools to 5 schools by closing down 1 school
Expand the District
Shift from 6 schools to 5 schools by merging 2 schools together Shift to 5 schools, organized by grade bands
!
Options for reorganization for the district may be any combination of these three dimensions . Considering which of the three dimensions to prioritize can help to inform choices or options for remaining dimensions.
All re-organization options maintain the integrity of special education and multilingual programs and provide appropriate levels of space in the adjusted district configuration.
Shift from 6 schools to 3 schools (either K-6 or mix of grade bands)
