LODI UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING

MARCH 5, 2013

PROPOSAL FROM MRS. RENHULT

• Restore the Harney Lane Migrant Camp students to the Tokay Colony attendance area.

• Increase staffing at Tokay Colony from 4 teachers to 6 teachers which reduces the number of combination classes ( K/1 only)

• Live Oak enrollment numbers reduce, requiring the displacement of 2 teachers.

• Would reduce the number of combination classes at Live Oak if 4th and 5th grade teachers agree to take a few more than 32 students and the 6th grade teacher has a small class.

ENROLLMENT TRENDS• The incoming enrollment for Tokay Colony students and Harney Lane

Migrant Camp students is declining:

Kindergarten Students

2012-13: 4 – Tokay Colony 4 – Harney Lane

2013-14: 4* – Tokay Colony 6 – Harney Lane

(*9 K’s registered with 5 requesting IDA’s)

• Over time, Tokay Colony will reduce to a very small school with

approximately 10-12 students per grade level, requiring combination

classes. If the migrant students were moved to Tokay Colony, eventually

they will be isolated as a group. During the months the migrant

students leave, the class enrollments will be even smaller.

STAFF’S PLAN FOR 2013-14• Move Tokay Colony Kindergarten and first grade students to

Live Oak or to an intra-district requested school for 2013-14.

• Reduce staffing at Tokay Colony from 4 teachers to 3 teachers.

• Retain the 2nd, 3/4, and 5/6 classes at Tokay Colony for

2013-14.

• Hold a community forum in August 2013 to discuss with the Tokay Colony community the future of the school and review possible new boundaries affecting Live Oak, Lockeford, and/or Victor Schools.
