2023/24 Boundary Proposal C-16

2023/24 Community Boundary Proposal 16, Analysis and Community Input

Disclaimer: The following school boundary proposals have been submitted by community members for the 2023/24 school year. These proposals were not created by District staff and they solely reflect the ideas and opinions of the community members who proposed them. Although these community members have worked with District staff to gather data and ensure that the posted proposals meet the mandated criteria of Class Size and School Concurrency Level of Service, these proposals may or may not meet additional considerations for establishing school boundaries, align with School Board Policy 5000, or be in the best interest of the communities, students and schools impacted. All proposals, inclusive of community comments, will be presented to and discussed by the School Board for consideration.

Considerations Reviewed
Class Size Impact No adverse impact.
Level of Service Impact Is projected to enable  Marjory Stoneman Douglas High to meet the LOS target by the end of the phase-in.
Enrollment Impact No adverse impact: moves 351 students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High to J. P. Taravella High, which currently has sufficient space to accommodate additional enrollment.
Diversity Impact

Does not change the overall percentage of population of any demographic subgroup beyond +/-5% within the total school population of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High or J. P. Taravella High.

(See diversity data below.)
Feeder Pattern Impact Splits the elementary to high school feeder pattern: Country Hills Elementary currently feeds 100% to Coral Springs Middle and then to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High; proposal would feed to both Marjory Stoneman Douglas High and J. P. Taravella High. Also further splits the middle to high school school feeder pattern: Coral Springs Middle currently feeds to both Coral Glades High and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High; proposal would  add J. P. Taravella High as a third school in the feeder pattern.
School Proximity Impact 55 students in TAZ 107 live within the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High two-mile walk boundary and will need bus transportation. All students who live in TAZ 107 would travel further to attend J. P. Taravella High. Students in TAZ 112 and 653 do not live within 2 miles walking distance to any high schools; reduces travel distance for students living TAZ 112. Depending on the residence location, travel distance for students in TAZ 653 may be closer to either Marjory Stoneman Douglas  High or J. P. Taravella High.
Neighborhood Integrity Impact Does not split any neighborhoods.
Natural Barrier Impact No concerns.
