2.0 The Three Dimensions of Change Every potential reorganization option is a combination of choices made across three key areas, or "dimensions." Understanding these dimensions is essential to understanding the options themselves.
Dimension
What It Means
Examples of Possible Changes
Facilities
The physical school buildings that the district uses.
• Maintain all 4 elementary buildings
• Shift from 4 elementary buildings to 3 (by closing one)
Schools & Programs
How individual schools are organized and operate within the physical buildings.
• Maintain 6 individual schools with varying enrollment
• Shift to 5 schools by closing one
• Shift to 5 schools by merging two
• Shift to 5 schools organized by grade bands
• Shift to 3 larger schools
Grade-Leve ls
How students are grouped by age and grade across the district's elementary and secondary schools.
• Keep the current K-6 elementary model
• Organize schools by grade-level bands (e.g., K-3 and 4-6) • Move to a K-5 elementary model (shifting 6th grade to Junior High)
The specific options that follow are different combinations of choices made within these three dimensions.
