Creating Attendance Boundaries: Considerations • Balance enrollment and reduce overcrowding • Neighborhood continuity • Safety issues (busy roads, canals, etc) • Distance (walking students, busing, etc) • Current students versus future growth • “Bouncing” students • Feeder schools (middle school attendance zones)

Creating Attendance Areas: Locating Students Geographically

Creating Attendance Areas: Identifying students by geographic areas

Creating Attendance Areas: Separating Students by Geographic Area (and other criteria) 378 students 12 students 151 students River Valley Elementary 14 students Current Enrollment: 906 Capacity Without Portables: 650 258 students “Locust Grove Elementary”: Capacity Without Portables: 650 68 students

Creating attendance area boundaries: Calculating future students

Creating Attendance Areas Calculating Future Students Based on Platted Subdivisions Number of platted home sites X. 8 (the 2010 census calculation of students per home) Divide resulting number by 13 (the number of grades K through 12) Multiply resulting number by 6 (the number of grades in Elementary, K though 5) Divide resulting number by 7 (7 is an assumed number of years that it will take a new subdivision to reach completion).
