Waiting Lists

• Elementary Schools
• Overflow Students Are Placed on Waiting Lists At
  Home Campus
• Data Processing Has Created An Application Which
  Maintains Waiting Lists
• Students Invited Back to Home Campus Based on
  Position on Waiting List As Vacancies Occur
• Students Who Decline A Vacancy At Home Campus Go
  To The Bottom of The Waiting List
• Secondary Schools
• No Waiting Lists
• Scheduling Complexity
• Large Enrollments at Reagan and Bush
• New Schools Opening

Flexibility Where Possible

• Transportation
• Bus Service Provided to Overflow Students
• In Many Cases, Service is Door-to-Door
• Siblings
• The District Strives to Prevent Splitting of
  Siblings Between Two Schools
• If One Sibling is Forced to an Overflow School,
  All Siblings May Attend the Overflow School
• Consistency
• If Students are Forced to Attend an Overflow
  School, They May Remain

Strategic Portable PlacementElementary Schools

• Sixty buildings are being freed by completion of
  construction projects and must be moved
• By the end of 2006, all campuses North of Loop
  1604 will have maximum possible portable
  buildings as determined by Engineering
• Additional portables being placed at campuses
  just inside Loop 1604 with large, underutilized
  core capacities Fox Run, Hidden Forest, Longs
  Creek, Redland Oaks, Stahl, Thousand Oaks
• These schools will be poised to receive future
  overflow students as current overflow campuses
  reach capacity
• Additional moves of portables that were not
  required are possible
