  6. K-2 3-5 Pro’s • Lay community concerns to rest • Let people believe students not separated by social/economic levels • No boundaries • Some teachers and staff would be pleased • Easier to “house” materials • ?All students/parents on one site of a grade level ? • Efficient use of current facilities

  7. K-2 3-5 Con’s • Testing – one grade level at one site – could cause Program Improvement in 3 years • Limited to no articulation of instruction, rules, sense of community • Too many transitions in sites of attendance • Parents have the increased possibility of having children at multiple sites • Coordination to place teachers at grade level/sites for expertise • Potential combination classes • Bubbles with few young children on older campus or few old children on younger campus

  8. K-2 3-5 Con’s (continued) • No choice except one school for Program Improvement • Too many teachers on one grade level for frequent training and collaboration • Limits employee teacher choice for area of expertise (grade level) • Loss of intense sense of accountability K-2 vs. 3-5 – high sense of accountability • Limited comparability of campuses across state.

Dos Palos Elementary • Dos Palos Elementary would have 544 students as a K-2 school. • 27-28 classrooms would be necessary to hold these students. • Since 27-28/36 classrooms will be utilized, there is still flexibility to hold the current 8 alternative programs at this site. • The question is would all of these programs be necessary at this site as only a k-2 school? 2. Marks Elementary, the 3-5 School • Marks Elementary would have 490 students as a 3-5 school. • 19-20 classrooms will be necessary to accommodate these students. • Since only 19-20/28 classrooms would be utilized, Marks could preserve its 8 alternative programs using the 8-9 extra classrooms. • No additional portables would need to be purchased to accommodate the rest of the programs.
