Recommendations
Eliminate the use of mobiles within the next 3
years Review and implement minor adjustments of
elementary middle school boundaries for the
2009-2010 school year potential schools
encompass Nature Ridge, Fox Meadow, Oakhill,
Ridge Circle, Laurel Hill and Sunnydale
Elementary schools, and their respective Middle
schools Evaluate the locations of programs and
related services at the highest capacity schools.
Implement program relocations as needed to
balance the enrollment at the most crowded
elementary and middle schools
16
Recommendations
Evaluate the potential for remodeling and
building additions at Canton Middle School and
Streamwood High School. These schools continue
to use the highest number of mobile classroom,
and are projected to have steady increases in
enrollment through the next few years Complete
the Capital Facilities evaluation and review the
findings with the Enrollment Facilities
committee of the Citizens Advisory Council
