Implementation Considerations
• For Fall 2017, should we “grandfather” rising 5th graders who would be otherwise rezoned to another school?
• For Fall 2016, should we allow rising 1st graders who will be rezoned to another school in Fall 2017 to join new school a year early?

K-3 Students Heat MapNotes:
• Current K-3 students will be Grade 2-5 students in Fall 2017
• Approx. 150 Grade 2-5 students would be rezoned to another school by redistricting in Fall 2017
• Of that group, 43 would be rising 5th graders in Fall 2017…
• While 38 would be rising 1st graders in Fall 2016

Implementation Considerations
• For Fall 2017, should we “grandfather” rising 5th graders who would be otherwise rezoned to another school?
• RAC Perspective: Yes, but not for younger siblings
• For Fall 2016, should we allow rising 1st graders who will be rezoned to another school in Fall 2017 to join new school a year early?
• RAC Perspective: No, but allow for exceptions by request
