The adoption of new attendance boundaries provides the foundation for the development of a complicated transition plan that is as critical to the success of our efforts as the construction of the new facilities. In doing so, the transition plan must recognize the efforts required for reorganizing within existing buildings. Regardless of whether a building’s student population is getting larger or smaller, in some ways, these moves will be more difficult and have a greater impact on teaching and learning than the impacts that result from moving into a brand new building. This understanding requires that transition planning pay equal attention to all of our schools. The Cumberland Valley School District transition plan must: • define the philosophy, timeline, and procedures for moving students and for transferring and hiring faculty,
administration, and staff.
• establish transition teams of teachers, counselors, administrators, and students in the elementary and middle schools to address the needs of students, faculty, and staff during the transition both within and between schools, and to celebrate milestones and accomplishments during the process.
• identify faculty and staff within each school and throughout the district that can identify and support students who may find the transition challenging or have unique needs when making the transition.
• determine the time table and individuals responsible for dismantling temporary instructional spaces, reassigning spaces within existing buildings and assigning spaces in the new buildings, and moving faculty and staff to those spaces.
• identify the new locations for and move existing furniture, fixtures, texts, materials, and technology, as well as identify the logistics of purchasing, receiving, assembling, and placing millions of dollars of new furniture, fixtures, technology, and supplies in our inventory.
• develop new guidelines, practices, procedures and routines for faculty, staff, and students that result from large changes in the size of the student body within buildings.
• include objectives and timelines for professional development that will range from managing change, understanding new building and district guidelines and procedures, safety procedures, using new products and services, and addressing a more diverse student body.
• include a media plan for communicating information to parents, students, faculty, staff, and stakeholders.

(continued)
• articulate established district goals and strategic objectives, initiatives, and changing state/federal requirements being implemented during the transition to build responsibilities and goals into the annual evaluation cycle, utilize temporary support services, budget, and to maintain academic excellence, and support continued growth toward our mission and vision.
• demonstrate respect for all stakeholders, embrace diversity, and maintain long-standing Cumberland Valley traditions by promoting programs and opportunities that create a feeling of connectedness among stakeholders and shared responsibility for student learning across the district.
Given the massive logistics of the transition, absent any large unanticipated events, changes to the new attendance boundaries will not be recommended. Once the new boundaries are established and transition planning is initiated each day closer toward the opening of the new facilities will make changing the attendance boundaries again exponentially more difficult and expensive.

What is the timeline for approval?
The Redistribution Committee will review administration’s recommendation with the full Board of School Directors at the meeting on November 9. There will be time for public comment during this meeting. From there, the board may request time for additional review and/or discussion or may consider placing the recommendation on the November 23 board meeting agenda for a vote.
Hampden Elementary School is already over capacity. How will we address concerns for space in the building if enrollment continues to increase prior to redistribution in 2018?
If enrollment continues to increase at Hampden and class sizes begin to exceed thresholds, we will implement practices previously used in these situations: adjusting instructional strategies by adding aide support. While our preference is smaller class sizes, we do know from our experience that Hampden students were still among the most academically-successful students when we previously implemented the teacher/aide partnerships in response to higher-than-preferred class sizes. Please remain assured that we will continue to watch enrollment closely, will remain creative, will make adjustments as necessary, and will work to avoid having to send students to temporary locations in modular classrooms or other buildings; both of which are very expensive propositions in terms of learning and tax dollars.
Silver Spring Elementary School is already over capacity. Why are we waiting until 2017 to move students from Silver Spring to Monroe? Conversely, why aren’t we waiting to redistribute these students with the remainder of the district in 2018?
Silver Spring is the fastest growing township in the Commonwealth. The plan to redistribute students from Silver Spring to Monroe is being recommended in 2017, not because we need space in the future, but because of a need now to address current enrollment and class sizes. Making this transition in the fall of 2016 was discussed, but ultimately administration decided to recommend a 2017 redistribution to provide adequate notice for students, parents, and staff.

My child is to be redistributed from Silver Spring to Monroe in 2017. What if I would prefer the move to occur in 2016 for my child or what if I would prefer my child who enters Kindergarten in 2016 to simply being at Monroe?
District administration is currently looking into these requests to determine if it’s feasible to grant exceptions to those who wish to transition from Silver Spring to Monroe a year earlier than planned.
Why does my neighborhood have to move when we only have a minimal number of students?
Neighborhoods were considered based on current number of students in those neighborhoods and potential for those homes to send students in the future. All movements were evaluated against the 10 criteria for redistribution. While any neighborhood may currently have minimal students, it’s the total of all those smaller moves that represent a substantial part of the redistricting proposal. Additionally, as we balance elementary schools we must consider the impact on secondary schools.
What happens if enrollment continues to increase and the new buildings don’t provide adequate capacity?
This is a concern shared by the district as well. This is a delicate balancing act; we don’t want to overbuild and have our funds locked into empty spaces but we also don’t want to under build and have continued capacity issues. The administrative recommendation for redistribution projects buildings to be at approximately 85% to 90% of CV’s calculated capacity. These projections include lowered class size thresholds, which does provide additional space for growth while the next phase of renovations/additions can be discussed. Options exist, if needed and approved, for additions at Hampden, Shaull, Sporting Hill, and Eagle View. In addition, the new campus provides adequate space for a third building if enrollment necessitates such construction.

What formula is used to determine capacity?
Capacity is calculated by both the Pennsylvania Department of Education (for reimbursement) and by the District (for instructional purposes). The figures in the redistribution recommendation are based on CV’s capacity coupled with growth projections. At the elementary level, CV calculates capacity as 22 students for each Kindergarten, first, and second grade classroom, 25 student for each third grade classroom, and 28 students for each fourth and fifth grade classroom. At the secondary level, it’s a bit more challenging because how a secondary classroom is used varies greatly throughout the course of each day. For CV’s capacity calculations, we assign 30 students to each classroom space and then assure, based on our schedules and instructional strategies, that we have enough auxiliary spaces (art, music, gym, IMC, etc). This is the capacity figure that was used in the recommendation for the middle schools.
How will the District determine which staff members move to which buildings?

1) A plan for redistribution of students shall be developed that reflects the greatest possible benefits for both our students and the school district as a whole.
2) The plan shall be consistent with the Board’s Ten Statements of Function for facility master planning.
3) New attendance boundaries shall be developed and evaluated based on equity, educational effectiveness, and efficiency of operation.
4) As much as possible each elementary and middle school shall reflect the demographics of Cumberland Valley High School.
5) Each school building shall have a targeted enrollment of 85-90% of PDE capacity. In cases where approved residential developments are underway, the potential impact shall be considered in the calculations.
6) Recognizing that redistribution will result in some students having bus rides that are a little shorter and others that are a little longer, the average bus ride and/or average distance that a student will travel should not increase markedly or exceed current maximum ride times or distances.
7) The proximity of businesses, amenities, day care centers, and preferred routes of travel within existing attendance areas shall not be used to determine the redistribution of students. Nor shall the establishment of new attendance boundaries favor such relationships.
8) The plan shall consider the needs of our students and the school district as a whole both prior to the opening of the new elementary and middle schools in 2018 as well as after their opening.
9) Any redistribution of students prior to the opening of the new elementary and middle schools shall only be considered if students are being moved to the same location in which they will attend when the plan is fully implemented.
10) The plan, which will take effect in its entirety at the beginning of the 2018/19, shall be published this spring and reviewed annually to provide families the opportunity to plan themselves.
