Goal

Propose new feeder pattern:

1. Early Childhood Centers (2008)

4

Factors to Consider

• Balanced enrollment in grade-level schools, anticipating growth

• Equitable distribution of students based on ethnicity

• Equitable distribution of students based on “socio-economic” status (Free/Reduced Lunch)

• Students would remain with others from their community to attend the school nearest their community

5

Dangers To Avoid (if possible)

• Moving one border community back and forth between schools in successive redistricting plans.

• Students assigned to a school and would drive by a same grade-level school.

6

Services Utilized

• Technology Management and Design (DOE, Don Berry)

• University of Delaware (John Laznik)• ArcGIS Software • ESchool (DOE)• Trapeze Redistricting Software
