PROPOSAL FOR GRADE

CONFIGURATION AND SCHOOL
USAGE FOR 2010-2011
Accelerated Timeline of Closing a School
2

y Based on enrollment, a Monroe school

could be closed by 2014-2015.

y Based on current enrollment and fiscal

constraints, the timeline for closing a
school is moved up to 2010-11.
 What Does Closing a School Earlier Than
Anticipated Mean?
3

y The district can “fit” its students and

programs in existing spaces, but there
will be some compromises.
 Transportation Parameters
4

y Transportation requirements for the proposed Early

Childhood Learning Center preclude this option
from being a consideration for the district. This
would be either too costly or have young students
travelling too early or late in the day.

y Transportation can be addressed for moving 8th

grade to high school.
