BOARD ACTION
Staff is requesting approval of Board to conduct public hearings AND
meetings with schools staffs regarding the proposal
Rocky Point Primary
Cape Fear Elementary
Cape Fear Middle
Burgaw Middle School and Burgaw Elementary School
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Both school facilities (CFE and RPP) designed and built for K-5 students.
The K-5 proposal will allow staff to work in vertical teams for planning, identifying
common strategies, collaborating, and providing consistency in instruction with the
goal of improving student achievement.
Bus Routes are prepared during the summer and are finalized during the month of
September. K-8 bus routes are in existence in several schools in the school district;
however, the goal will be to limit these to every extent possible.
The district is in the process of reviewing bus stops. We hope that parents /
community members will notify us whenever they see an issue with bus stops.
The state determines that 1/4 mile must be between stops, however we can
request exceptions in extenuating circumstances.
We cannot predict if the number of buses will be reduced in implementing this plan,
but we do know the number of miles currently driven will be reduced, based on the
current enrollment.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This plan will reduce traffic but we cannot ascertain the exact reduction.
The state Dept. Of Transportation (DOT) is currently reviewing this issue.
The current transfer policy allows parents to request a transfer of their
child from one school to another school if the parent/guardian provides
transportation. Call 259-2187 to request the paperwork. (Information will
be posted on the website)
High Schools are not in this redistricting proposal. A small number of
Burgaw Middle students are assigned to Trask. Individual cases may be
handled through the transfer policy.
Redistricting for all schools will be addressed in the 5/10 year plan.
Meanwhile we will address issues at each school as they occur.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The state budget determines the number of teachers and teacher
assistants at each school based on student enrollment. The State
requires boards of education to make placement based on
certification. Teachers will be asked for input regarding their
assignments. Administrators will also be involved.
We will compile questions, suggestions, and information gathered
from hearings and meetings with staffs from each of the schools.
This information will be presented to the Board of Education on
Monday, February 4. The board will determine next steps.
