In 2008, TEA ordered the closure of

In 2009 & 2010, EMHS@JC had two years

of AU status, requiring “reconstitution”

Eastside Memorial Reconstitution Plan

requires “another entity that has proven

expertise…to help the district ensure

successful implementation”

Austin Independent School

District

Elementary commended rates Reading: 25% (2010-11) Reading: 34% (2010-2011)

Graduation rate 49.4% (Johnston, 2006-07)

~ <60% (EMHS@JC, 2010-11*)

*TBD

Dropout rate 26.6% (Johnston, 2006-07*)

~ 9.7% (EMHS@JC, 2010-11*)

4.0%

*TBD

• Every school-age child living within the Eastside Memorial High

School Vertical Team attendance zone is college-bound. This

means:

− Dramatically higher elementary level commended rates

− A feeder middle school developed

− 100% high school completion and graduation rates

* Estimated percentages using three years of data. The 2010-2011 data is expected to be final in Spring 2012.

The dropout rates are for the last available four-year rate (2006-07) and the most recent annual rate (2010-11).

Development of Annual Facilities Recommendations Driven by Academics and Balanced by Operations

The overlap of Academics and Operations determines the AFRs. This

overlap can be larger or smaller, depending on the impact of board

priorities, emergency needs (i.e. natural disasters), available resources,

unexpected population shifts, and urgent facilities conditions in any

given year.

In-District Charters: Historical Context

June 2001 Board Policy authorized applications for a

charter campus or program. Policy was updated in 2005.

In 2002, AISD discussed targeted support in east Austin.

AISD received two formal charter proposals from KIPP

and Edison Schools Inc. Administration recommended

negotiations with KIPP Academy. Board voted to create

local programming – “Blueprint Schools”

January 24, 2011 Board approved changes clarifying the

creation of an in-district charter on an existing school

campus

On June 20, 2011 Board approved for Administration to

begin preliminary discussions with IDEA Public Schools

In-District Charters: Historical Context September 7, 2011 site visit to IDEA Public Schools in Weslaco and

Brownsville

IDEA is a member of the Gates District Charter Collaborative for

Austin

IDEA submitted an in-district charter application to AISD, in

accordance with district policy

4,350 students eligible to attend AISD are current charter school

students

Loss of students from AISD to external charter schools is a drain of

funds and loss of motivated students from AISD

- More than $26 million loss of ADA funds annually

• Of which $6.6 million revenue lost is from the EM Vertical Team

- Creates competition in educational programming in our community

Common Elements of Draft Scenarios

1. All four scenarios contract with IDEA Public Schools to

create an in-district charter program focused on college

readiness and science, technology, engineering and

math (STEM).

2. In each scenario, IDEA in-district charter program will

feed/grow into the IDEA in-district charter program at

Eastside Memorial High School at the Johnston

Campus.

3. The differences between the four scenarios are the

impact to facilities, attendance zones, program

configuration and costs.
