CSD Mom sends along a note that details the the current recommendation of the school system’s Reconfiguration Committee.  In a nutshell – regardless of annexation, the CSD should move 4th and 5th graders to Renfroe after building an addition for the 2010-2011 school year.

Here are the details with and without annexation thrown into the mix.

Recommendation offered to the superintendent

After extensive learning, dialogue, and consensus-building, the committee offers the following recommendation:

Without Annexation
Option 12 (new option offered 11.19.08)
Keep current configurations for the 2009-2010 school year, adding any necessary mobile units at Clairemont, Oakhurst, and Winnona Park, in order to prepare for Option 9 Make Glennwood a K3, move 4/5 to a building expansion on the Renfroe campus for the 2010-2011 school year

With Annexation
Option 12
Keep current configurations for the 2009-2010 school year, adding any necessary mobile units at Clairemont, Oakhurst, and Winnona Park, in order to prepare for either Option 9 Make Glennwood a K3, move 4/5 to a building expansion on the Renfroe campus for the 2010-2011 school year, or Option 8 (if Option 9 will not meet annexation needs) Make Glennwood and Westchester K3s, move 4/5 to a building expansion on the Renfroe campus for the 2010-2011 school year
