White Case Willow 10 Focus of High School Planning Effort  The current high school landscape:  Approximately 40% of District high school seats are unused  More than 40% of high school students are served in buildings pre-dating 2002.  Only 5% of schools are above desired viability targets; to get every high school to desired enrollment viability, we would operate 12-17 fewer high school programs than we do today. 11 We have too many programs to guarantee students the vibrant learning experience they deserve Total programs as of SY 17-18 Total programs needed for forecast enrollment in SY 22-23 Change required West East 15 23 10-12 11-14 3 to 5 fewer programs 9 to 12 fewer programs 12 The final decisions about building plans must be informed by previous investments, current resource constraints, and shifting enrollment patterns ▪ 12 high school programs on the east side have been newly constructed or renovated since 2002. ▪ 21 of the 38 District high school programs are now in new or renovated buildings. ▪ Enrollment forecasts suggest that the east side will have ~7100 excess seats in high school buildings in 2022-2023. ▪ 9 high school programs on the west side have been newly constructed or renovated since 2002. ▪ Enrollment forecasts suggest that the west side will have ~700 excess seats in high school buildings in 2022-2023. 13 Community input has shaped our recommendations Key Themes Community input ▪ Five community meetings from late Sept to early October focused on high schools, building on meetings in Spring 2019 ▪ ▪ Desire for enduring commitment to improving quality ▪ Want to ensure equity of access to a variety of programs on both sides of the city ▪ 290 estimated attendees ▪ ▪ 220 feedback forms received via meetings and online Recognize the downside of super small schools (e.g., limited electives, sports teams) and want the upside of viably enrolled schools (e.g., diverse programmatic offerings, better extracurriculars) ▪ ▪ Feel connection and loyalty to local high schools ▪ Would like more support with career guidance and planning, social-emotional learning, etc. Interest in expanding access to career and technical options and pathways, alongside college prep investments Request thoughtful implementation and ease of transition for students and families 14 Also shaping our recommendations is a converging view on the Future of Work by industries in high demand • • TeamNEO Aligning Opportunities Report – IT – Manufacturing & Construction – Healthcare – Life Sciences/Education/Engineering – Business & Financial Services – Management Brookings Opportunity Industries – Utilities – Construction – Logistics – Manufacturing – Wholesale • • Cleveland Federal Reserve – Opportunity Occupations Report – Healthcare (Registered Nurses) – Retail/Hospitality (Customer Service representative) – Administrative (Secretaries and Admin.
