12.2. Fifth Grade Placement Beginning In 2018-19

Rationale:

Campbell Union School District Board Policy requires all 4th grade students to apply for 5th grade placement through the Open Enrollment process to select attendance in elementary (5th) or middle school (5th). An exception to this is for Sherman Oaks Dual Immersion School as this program is intended to be from Transitional Kindergarten or Kindergarten through sixth grade.

With the closure of Campbell Middle School and the opening of the Campbell School of Innovation in 2018-2019, at the October 12, 2017 Governing Board Special Study Session on boundary changes in CUSD, staff presented a proposal to keep all 5th grade students at the elementary sites in an effort to keep the middle schools’ enrollment from becoming too large.  As a result, the Governing Board recommended that students entering fifth grade beginning with the 2018-2019 school year remain at the elementary sites.  This would continue throughout the transitional years until full enrollment of the Campbell School Of Innovation is reached.  At that time, the district will conduct an interest survey to determine the feasibility of returning to providing an option of 5th grade attendance at elementary and middle school..


 
Actions:
Motion

Approve students entering fifth grade remain at the elementary sites beginning with the 2018-2019 school year and continue through the transitional years until full enrollment of the Campbell School Of Innovation is reached.

12.3. Campbell Union School District Boundaries

Rationale:
Board Policy 5116 tasks the Governing Board with regularly reviewing school attendance boundaries, taking into account school capacities and enrollment data, geographic features, student safety and transportation, racial and ethnic balance, educational programs such as magnet schools, and community input.

With the opening of the Campbell School Of Innovation in 2018-2019 new  boundaries for Campbell Union School District have been created to reduce the impact to our schools, reduce the size of our two large elementary schools - Capri and Castlemont and balance the size of our two middle schools- Monroe and Rolling Hills.

As a result of a Governing Board Study Session on October 12, 2017, community input meetings on October 24 and November 14, 2017 and extensive research and recommendations by  Enrollment Projections Consultants, the new Campbell Union School District Boundaries are presented for approval.

Motion

Approve the Campbell Union School District Boundaries for both elementary and middle boundaries as presented.
