Title: Scripps Ranch Elementary Attendance Boundary Change Scenarios
1Scripps RanchElementary Attendance Boundary
Change Scenarios
All of the scenarios in this presentation were
developed by the Instructional Facilities
Planning Department (IFPD) of the San Diego
Unified School District (SDUSD) with input from
the Scripps Ranch Schools Committee (SRSC).
These scenarios have NOT been approved or
adopted, but are presented for discussion.
- Scripps Ranch Community Meeting
- December 12, 2007
2Why Are We Here?
- Ellen Browning Scripps is moving from its
temporary site to the previous Marshall site. - The new site has a larger capacity about 250
more students - than the present temporary site. - SDUSD has an obligation to make efficient use of
its permanent facilities. - This can be achieved by re-drawing the elementary
attendance boundaries in the Scripps Ranch area,
as well as re-balancing non-resident enrollment
among the four elementary schools.
3Boundary Change Process
- IFPD attends a series of meetings with the SRSC
and subcommittee to gather information and
community input. - IFPD attends the Scripps Ranch Community Meeting
on Dec. 12th to gather further input. - IFPD brings a recommendation to the School Board
for approval at the February, 2008 Board Meeting.
4Goals for Re-Districting
- As much possible, we attempt to meet each of
these goals - Use major geographic features (roads, canyons,
etc) to define attendance boundaries. - Keep neighborhoods together.
- Allow students to attend the most conveniently
located school. - Keep attendance boundaries compact and
contiguous. - Take into account the communitys concerns (e.g.,
SRSC requested equalization of enrollment at all
4 schools).
5Scenarios
- Initially, there were 11 different scenarios.
- Working with the SRSC and Subcommittee, we
narrowed our focus to 5 (scenarios A-E). Four
additional scenarios have been created at the
request of the Subcommittee. - Regardless of the scenario selected, we will
propose concurrent grandfathering in which any
student resident in an area affected by a
boundary change may continue attending their
current school. If younger siblings enroll before
the older sibling articulates to middle school,
they may also attend.

8Scenario A - Pros and Cons
- PROS
- EBS would be closer to utilizing their new
facility. - Schools would be well-balanced around 700.
- Boundaries would stay contiguous and compact.
- The amount of changes made throughout Scripps
Ranch would be minimized to one geographic area.
- CONS
- Jerabek would lose students in District 6 to EBS.
- Some students that live closer to Jerabek would
attend EBS.

10Scenario B - Pros and Cons
- PROS
- EBS would be closer to utilizing their new
facility. - Schools would be well-balanced around 700.
- The amount of changes made throughout Scripps
Ranch would be minimized to one geographic area.
- CONS
- Jerabek would lose students in District 11 to
EBS. - Some students would take a circuitous route to
school. - Some students that live closer to Jerabek and
Miramar Ranch would attend EBS. - The EBS boundary would be less compact.

12Scenario C - Pros and Cons
- PROS
- EBS would be closer to utilizing their new
facility. - Schools would be well-balanced around 700.
- Students in the northern portion of Miramar Ranch
would attend Dingeman which is closer. - Impact of changes would be distributed among all
4 schools.
- CONS
- Some students assigned to Miramar Ranch and EBS
would be taking a longer and/or more circuitous
route to school. - Students living very near to Dingeman would
attend EBS. - Boundaries would be less compact.
- All schools would be affected with a greater
impact on the community.

14Scenario D - Pros and Cons
- PROS
- EBS would be closer to utilizing their new
facility. - Schools would be well-balanced around 700.
- Students in the northern portion of Miramar Ranch
would attend Dingeman which is closer. - Impact of changes would be distributed among all
4 schools.
- CONS
- Some students assigned to Miramar Ranch and EBS
would be taking a longer and/or more circuitous
route to school. - Students living very near to Dingeman would
attend EBS. - Students living very near to Jerabek would attend
Miramar Ranch. - Boundaries would no longer be compact and
contiguous. - All schools would be affected with a greater
impact on the community.

16Scenario E - Pros and Cons
- PROS
- Changes made between Jerabek and EBS would not
split neighborhoods. - Changes made throughout Scripps Ranch would be
minimal. - Takes into account the possibility that Jerabeks
attendance area may experience continued decline
in the future.
- CONS
- EBS would not be utilizing the capacity of their
new facility initially. - Schools would not be well-balanced around 700 in
2008-09.

20Scenario I - Pros and Cons
- PROS
- Changes made between Jerabek and EBS would not
split neighborhoods. - Changes made throughout Scripps Ranch would be
minimal. - Takes into account the possibility that Jerabeks
attendance area may experience continued decline
in the future.
- CONS
- EBS would not be utilizing the capacity of their
new facility initially. - Schools would not be so well-balanced around 700
in 2008-09 EBS would be a little low, Jerabek a
little high but this may be OK given likely
future trends.

22Scenario J - Pros and Cons
- PROS
- Changes made between Jerabek and EBS would not
split neighborhoods one neighborhood from
Dingeman impacted - Changes made throughout Scripps Ranch would be
minimal. - Takes into account the possibility that Jerabeks
attendance area may experience continued decline
in the future.
- CONS
- EBS would not be utilizing the capacity of their
new facility initially. - Schools would not be well-balanced around 700 in
2008-09 EBS would be a little low, Jerabek a
little high but this may be OK given likely
future trends.
23Conclusions
- Of the nine scenarios, it appears that Scenarios
A, E, I and J meet many of the re-districting
goals - A - Minimizes changes and utilizes EBS site
efficiently. With possible future population
trends in the Jerabek attendance area, Jerabek
may be smaller than the other Scripps Ranch
elementary schools. - E - Reduces impact on Jerabek, but the EBS site
would not be fully utilized for a number of
years. If the change is less than expected,
future boundary changes may be necessary. - Scenarios I and J represent a series of
incremental changes between Scenario A and
Scenario E
