What to expect in the three-school merger study
How will the three-school study differ from the original study?
Although the three-school merger study has yet to be completed, district officials expect the study to very similar to the original four-school study. It will address the major topics of:
-
Enrollment—how many students the new district would serve, now and in the future
-
Facilities—which buildings would be used and how
-
Program—what academic and extracurricular programs the new district would offer
-
Staffing—total administrative, instructional and support staff needed
-
Transportation—how far students would travel
-
Finances—the impact on state aid, school budget and local property taxes
What will be same?
The focus of the study will remain how a merged district can improve the opportunities for students in a more efficient and cost effective manner than the districts can separately. It will highlight both the opportunities and challenges presented by a merged district.
What will be different?
Glancing at the numbers from the original study, some things will obviously change. And in response to resident's questions and concerns in the past, the final report is expected to include a few new items and offer greater detail on others. Things to expect include:
-
25 percent smaller enrollment.
-
33 percent smaller geography.
-
Shorter transportation times.
-
New building configurations (but Remington would still close).
-
A more detailed listing a classes, programs, sports and the arts.
-
Increased security staff at the secondary levels.
-
A plan for increased parking at Ilion High School.
