 Board Policy #1120(a)

Rationale: 

In November of 2017, a Comprehensive School Enrollment Analysis and Projections was prepared to inform the Feasibility Study conducted by Drummey Rosanne Architects. An updated Enrollment Study by grade current to October 1, 2019, will be presented to the BOE.  An updated analysis of births and current economic and housing conditions, as well as enrollment trends, are addressed in this study. The cohort-survival method with some modifications was used to update the enrollment projections.

MMI generated districtwide and school-facility-specific enrollment projections disaggregated by grade. These projections forecast the overall student population for a 10-year planning horizon.

Projections include low-, medium-, and high-growth scenarios. The updated Comprehensive School Enrollment Study and Projections illustrate the geographic distribution of enrollment patterns, new births, migration patterns, and residential development impacts on enrollment and changes in the City of Bristol's demographics.

Rationale: 

Traditionally the closing day of school has been set at the April meeting. Based on the summary of closing dates and upon completion of 181 school days the last day of school is set for the district.

The closing date for K-5, K-8, middle, and high schools will be scheduled at the end of the school session on Thursday, June 18, 2020.  This date will be subject to change in the event additional emergency closing days are required in the interim to the end of the school year.
