  1. More Seats for More StudentsSuggested Boundary Options for New Elementary School at Williamsburg February 2013

  2. Process Steps

  3. Community Engagement Schedule

  4. Overview • In this stage of the More Seats for More Students process, APS is working with the community to identify possible boundary options for the new elementary school • APS developed the Online Boundary Tool to provide the Arlington community with an opportunity to interact with the data in an approachable way.

  5. Overview • During our January 23rd meeting, we shared and discussed 18 boundary option maps suggested by the community. • Based on community feedback, we developed a smaller set of four possible options incorporating comments we heard in those discussions.

  6. Core Planning Units

  7. Suggested Option A

  8. Suggested Option B

  9. Suggested Option C

  10. Suggested Option D

  11. Objectives • Discuss and examine the four boundary options presented tonight. • Consider these options using the criteria matrix suggested by the School Board (to be discussed in a few minutes). • Discuss possible planning unit splits to achieve smoother boundaries.

  12. Criteria Matrix

  13. Criteria Matrix • Alignment – minimizing separation of small groups of students from their classmates when moving between school levels • Contiguity – maintaining attendance zones that are contiguous and contain the school to which students are assigned • Demographics – promoting demographic diversity

  14. Criteria Matrix • Efficiency – minimizing future capital and operating costs • Proximity – keeping students close to the schools they attend • Stability – minimizing the number of times that boundary changes affect an individual student, and minimizing the number of students moved to a different school

  15. Criteria Matrix • Example:
