Center for Applied Demography & Survey Research 2 Year Elementary School Realignment Plan

CR Elementary Schools

May 18, 2021

Center for Applied Demography & Survey Research Guiding Principles for realignment:

1.Preserve current attendance boundaries as best as possible

2. Transportation issues (safety of students)

3. Do our best to not split neighborhoods

4. Align attendance zone boundaries with natural features (roads, streams)

5. Keep in mind artificial boundaries (neighborhoods, municipal boundaries, zipcodes)

6. Keep in mind the demographics across all middle schools
