Each possible reorganization option was evaluated against a specific set of criteria.
Criteria for Assessing District Reorganization Possibilities
❑ Projected Cost: What are the upfront versus ongoing costs? What potential cost savings or efficiencies exist? How do short-term costs align with long-term financial sustainability? ❑ Implications for Curriculum, Materials & Support: Will new programs, courses, pathways, or curriculum be required? What materials or resources may need to be added, replaced, or updated? What professional learning may be needed to support educators? ❑ Summarized Strengths and Drawbacks: What are the strengths or benefits of the reorganization option? What are the drawbacks? ❑ Impact on Staffing: How will staffing needs change in terms of the number and type of positions needed for each school and program? What effect will change have on staff workload? How might recruitment or retention be affected? ❑ Impact on Students & Families: How many people will be impacted? Which families or groups will experience disruption? How equitable is this impact across student/family populations? How will these changes strengthen or challenge community trust?
