Forum set on redistricting proposal
By Tom Munds
District officials will explain how the proposed changes to the district will work and will answer questions at a public forum that will be held a 6:30 p.m. Jan. 8 in Fisher Auditorium at Englewood High School.
Superintendent Sean McDaniel presented the proposal at the Dec. 26 Englewood School Board meeting.
The major elements of the proposal, which requires school board approval and would be implemented at the start of the 2009-10 school year include:
Educating all elementary school students in four buildings, Bishop, Clayton, Cherrelyn and Charles Hay.
Moving early childhood education from the Lowell Building to Maddox Elementary School
Creating a kindergarten through eighth-grade international baccalaureate program at Hay Elementary School.
Closing or leasing out the Lowell Building
Creating an Englewood Freshman Academy for incoming ninth-graders
Allow eighth-graders the choice of the freshman academy or attending Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School.
McDaniel said the forum will provide the opportunity for interested individuals to hear the details of the proposal and to ask questions. It also will allow staff and board members to gather public comment about the suggestions.
He said, if needed, there will be a second forum at a later date but noted the goal is to have the board move forward on the proposal before the end of January.
For information about the forum or the proposal, call McDaniel at 303-806-2010, e-mail him at sean_mcdaniel@englewood.k12.co.us or visit the school Web site at www.englewoodschools.com where the superintendent’s letter to parents and a presentation on the proposal are listed.
The auditorium entrance is near the north end of the school building in the 3800 block of South Logan St.
