Parameters For Establishing School Attendance Boundaries

• AISD will continue to use the feeder school philosophy by designating specific elementary campuses to assigned middle schools.

• AISD Staff and the committee will use the most recent enrollment projection data from the annual demographic report.

• The boundary change should optimize school facility usage and accommodate growth patterns throughout the District.

• A campus capacity should not include portable classroom space that is considered temporary.

• Programs for special population groups should be considered in relation to capacity issues.

• Fiscal impact on staffing, transportation and building capacity must be considered.

• AISD believes demographic diversity enriches our community and the committee should embrace this philosophy in its analysis of feeder school scenarios.
