| Summary:
|
The purpose of this Board item is to:
1. Answer Board questions asked at the Tuesday, February 15, 2011 Board workshop;
2. Consider whether additional facilities need to be closed. Currently, Silverwood, Westwood, and Willow Creek are being considered;
3. Consider consolidation or closure of Necessary Small High School programs and Diablo Community Day School;
4. Provide an opportunity for staff to make a recommendation to the Board.
Provided the Governor's Budget proposal is approved and our funding is only reduced by $18.38 per student, staff recommends that we implement the approved facility closures and:
• Develop a program at Glenbrook that will allow us to reduce the number of special education students served by nonpublic schools;
• Redraw current boundary lines to minimize overflow transportation costs;
• Investigate ways to meet student needs in our Necessary Small High Schools more efficiently; and
• Update our Independent Study\Horizon and Home study programs by providing online learning opportunities.
Staff believes the above recommendations will reduce $1.5 million on ongoing expenses |
