Limits of current reality

Middle School is a one-size fits all concept right at the time that students come in many different shapes and sizes physically, academically, socially, and emotionally. Role of 9th grade at Middle Level Limits on 6-8 and 9-12 academic system for students Limits on 6-8 and 9-12 enrichment system for 3/16/13 students

Advantages of current reality

Leverage LCS Campus structures Leverage the 3-bus run transportation system to provide students with the necessary added support without loss of electives, as well as the ability to access rigor/enrichment. Leverage the Learning Center model and literacy coaches to provide added support while students maintain six classes.

The Flexible Day

Focus on aptitude not age. Flex individual schedules of students and teachers to maximize a full 8 hour day. Our current high school begins with 7:30 am classes. Our middle school runs to 3:45 pm. Inside of that time, there are 7-8 slots for course work. Likewise, inside that time, students can participate in 6 classes and receive support for an additional 1-2 hours. Students can seek out quality enrichment.

Creating Additional Time for Support

Students who struggle will have equal access to the curriculum six full classes. Those students that have either failed a class or are two grade levels behind in reading will be provided 6 classes, but also be expected to attend the support time from 7:30 am to 9 am or 2:15 pm to 3:45 pm. This support can be provided at 3/16/13 East, West or a middle school.

Capacity
Examined 2 major methodologies for Classroom/Building utilization:

Classrooms assigned to teachers-prep period in classroom Classrooms assigned by student schedule needs space utilized for students every hour

Reviewed both major categories of School Building capacity factors:

Classroom capacity

3/16/13

HS Capacity Results

We are not increasing class sizes as a means to achieve maximum capacity. An architectural review concluded that student support capacity exists to house 1600 students at the East building (parking, lockers, gym/cafeteria, etc.) Preliminary results indicate that classroom space will be sufficient to house 1650 students at the East building. Next step will be to perform an actual3/16/13 mock schedule of students in the building to insure that

MS Capacity Results

An architectural review concluded that student support capacity exists to house 900 students at both RollandWarner and Zemmer (parking, lockers, gym/cafeteria, etc.) Preliminary results indicate that classroom space will be sufficient to house 1,010 students at both R-W and Zemmer.

What do our students think?

The focus on college readiness is so important to us. I really like the idea of graduating high school with 12 college credits. I love the Innovation Center idea! Focusing on the acceleration and stretch of secondary students is the right thing to do because that is the time when we start diversifying. 3/16/13
