The Boundary Committee began its work in October of 2010 with a charge that outlined the work of the committee given the overcrowding at many schools.

The final recommendation was provided to the Board of Education in February of 2011 to increase class size at the 1st through 5th grade level by two students. Below is a summary of the impact of the recommendation:

As part of the recommendation, the following items were moved forward out of the committee for the Board’s consideration:

1. The Board should consider the addition of a mobile unit (two classrooms) at Lyon School
2. The Board should consider the addition of a mobile unit (two classrooms) at Hoffman School beginning in the 2012-13 school year
3. The Board should consider revisiting the capacity of each building on a yearly basis
4. The Board should consider revisiting the enrollment projections on a yearly basis
5. The Board should consider a study to determine at what enrollment figure each school becomes too large
6. If the recommendation is accepted, the Board should consider a complete analysis of the class size change to determine the impact on class size averages at each school

Note: the committee discussed that the Board should consider closely monitoring the diversity between the clusters but determined there is currently a committee looking at this issue (Dual Language Committee) and therefore stopped short of this consideration.

The presentation to the Board is available for review. (Must be opened in Adobe Acrobat, not Preview).

The Boundary Committee looked at ALL options related to space constraints, including:
* School attendance boundary shifts
* Adding additional space at existing schools (temporary or permanent)
* Moving District-wide programs from one building to another within the District or to off-site locations
* Increasing class size

DECEMBER 2, 2010 ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS

At its Dec. 2, 2010 meeting, the committee heard from RSP, the District's consultant, with research related to the current student attendance as well as projections for the future. The full presentation is available. (Please note: Since the maps are lower resolution as part of the presentation, they are linked below in a much higher resolution format for easier viewing.)

RSP shared they have spoken with school district administration, Village of Glenview officials and Cook County officials as part of their work.

The model they have utilized includes cohort change, external change, kindergarten change and the economy. Additionally, RSP has created planning areas that are defined by:
• By land use (residential, commercial, industrial)
• By residential density (single-family, mobile home, duplex, apartment)
• By natural features (rivers and creeks)
• By manmade features (railroad and roads)

RSP shared that analyzing demographic and development trend data is a key element in being able to understand what has, is, and will happen in the community.

Past and current enrollment information was shared, past and current annual grade change, and population and enrollment. It was noted that all enrollment numbers EXCLUDE preschool, early childhood, and special education students assigned to stand-alone classrooms. It is projected that 184 preschool, early childhood and special education students will be in the District over the next five years. View Projections.

RSP shared many maps and explained their significance to the projection process, including:
• In Migration- students attending grades 1-8 who were not attending the previous school year in grades K-7.
• Out Migration- students attending the previous year in grades K-7 who in the following year no longer attend in grades 1-8.

RSP reviewed the enrollment projections and indicated that the midpoint projections will be utilized for all planning efforts.

RSP shared the following conclusions:
• The district midpoint projection over the next five years forecasts a greater enrollment in 2015/16 than in 2010/11.
• There likely will be continued capacity issues at all the schools.
• While the district is for all practical purposed built out, the average age of households, females birthing age, and condition of housing inventory, will result in a stable to increasing enrollment.
• Large open areas are depicted for parkland, preserves, or golf courses- it is not anticipated that these areas will develop.
• All demographic trends point to an enrollment increases of approximately 300 students by 2015/16, the district will need to continue to plan for facility capacity

In late December 2010 and early January 2011, the Boundary Committee asked parents and community members to provide their feedback on the options the committee was considering as part of its work. Results are avaialble.

On January 26 and 27, the Boundary Committee hosted input sessions to provide the community an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback about the concepts the committee was considering.

View the presentation. (Must be opened in Adobe Acrobat, not Preview)

The Boundary Committee met on Thursday, Feb. 10, and discussed the comments/questions shared at the recent input sessions related to two draft concepts (titled Concept 1 and Concept 3) designed to address the space constraints in the District. Additionally, the committee reviewed two different draft approaches around Concept 4 (titled Concept 4A and Concept 4B), which were not available prior to the January input sessions.

The committee will conclude their discussion and evaluation of draft Concepts 1, 3, 4A and 4B at its Thursday, Feb. 17 meeting and determine at that time what concept or concepts will be selected for presentation to the Board of Education. (Should Concept 4A or 4B be included, a second community input session will be scheduled – see below).

The February 17th meeting is the final meeting of the committee and will be at 6:30 p.m. at the Administration Building. All committee meetings are open to the public. At that meeting, the plan is for the committee to come to consensus around which concept(s) should be moved forward for consideration by the Board of Education. The Boundary Committee will present its findings to the Board on Monday, February 28. The Board is scheduled to make a decision at its Monday, March 7 meeting.

Since the community had an opportunity to provide comments and questions on Concept 1 and Concept 3 during the input sessions, if either Concept 4A or Concept 4B moves forward by consensus of the committee, an input session will be held. That feedback will be shared directly with the Board of Education. If neither of these concepts are considered acceptable by the committee, there would be no need for community input since they would have been eliminated from consideration (like Concept 2 was eliminated by the committee earlier).

The community should be aware that NO final decisions have been made. The committee is still considering the pros and cons of each concept. During its Feb. 17 meeting, further discussion of all concepts by the committee will be held prior to a final consensus decision on which concept(s) will be moved forward for Board of Education consideration.

All concepts are currently available for review in their draft forms:

Concept 1

Concept 3

Concept 4A

Concept 4B

Meetings are open for the public to attend and listen to the discussion.
