Spending fewer dollars paying for old buildings and unused space will allow us to provide the following enhancements to our
schools and students:
Safety and Climate Enhancements
Academic Enhancements
Facility Enhancements
The District has remained committed to engaging the community during the Facilities Master Plan process.
The Facilities Master Plan process began in 2010.
The District has hosted over 50 meetings since the process began.
The District will host an additional 17 meetings in January and February 2013.
Community members can address members of the School Reform Commission (SRC) at SRC meetings. The SRC will vote on the District’s recommendations in early March.
The set of proposed recommendations were developed based on a multi-phase process.
Phase 1
• Used four filtering criteria to identify schools for potential action
Phase 2
• Sought policy guidance from the public through a series of community meetings
• Assessed school safety and climate and academic performance
• Visited schools to ensure sufficient space for recommended actions
Phase 3
• District leadership and a team of staff reviewed each recommended action and implications for school clusters
The District used four criteria to identify schools for actions. Final recommendations were based on the relationship between and among schools.

Northwest Planning Area : Our Recommendations
To address declining enrollments, low academic performance, excess capacity, and an aging building inventory, the School District recommends the following:
1. Changing grade configurations at 8 schools (Leeds, Edmonds, Pennypacker, Emlen, Logan, Kelly, Wister, Pennell)
2. Closing 4 elementary schools (Cooke, Fulton, Kinsey, McCloskey)
3. Closing 1 middle school (Roosevelt)
4. Closing 1 high school (Germantown)
5. Merging 1 high school program (Philadelphia Military Academy at Leeds)
6. Relocating 2 high school programs (Parkway Northwest, Lankenau)

Capacity Utilization
Increase enrollment at Edmonds and Leeds MS by closing McCloskey Elementary School
Reason for Recommendation
The addition of sixth grade at Leeds and change of McCloskey and Edmonds to K-5 elementary schools will result in lower enrollment and utilization at the elementary level. -Walkthroughs by District staff determined the feeder elementary schools to Leeds did not have enough space to become K-8 elementary schools -There is enough capacity at Edmonds to consolidate at one elementary school Proposed Student Transition Plan
Students enrolled in grades K through 4 will be offered reassignment at Edmonds Elementary School. Students enrolled in grades 5 and 6 will be offered reassignment at Leeds Middle School.

- Roxborough has the capacity to serve 1,603 students with a present enrollment of 476 students.
- The Roxborough building can be reconfigured to support two high school programs.
- The addition of Lankenau High School would increase the utilization rate from 30% to 50%.

Capacity Utilization
Create one Philadelphia Military Academy High School. Relocate PMA at Leeds to the Roosevelt MS Building
Reason for Recommendation
Proposed Student Transition Plan
Enrollment at the Philadelphia Military Academy at Leeds and the Philadelphia Military Academy at Elverson is below 300 students at each site. The District can increase academic program offerings and achieve efficiencies by combining these programs as one high school. The Roosevelt Middle School program has been recommended for closure. As a result, the building is available for reuse.
All students will be reassigned to the Philadelphia Military Academy at its new location. Students also retain the option to return to his/her neighborhood school.
