Parameters

• Minimize number of students impacted by the
  reconfiguration of school attendance zones, while
  recognizing that the opening of two elementary
  schools and one middle school will necessitate a
  significant number of student moves
• Consider previous moves by individual
  subdivisions
• Assign entire subdivisions to schools
• Wherever possible, stabilize the attendance zones
  of individual schools

5
Parameters

• To the greatest extent possible, honor a House
  concept that promotes all students from an
  elementary school to the same middle school, and
  all students from a middle school to the same
  high school
• Create equitable capacities throughout the
  district, taking into consideration space needed
  for growth in each attendance zone

6
Results
As a result of the Board of Educations
Parameters, the recommended attendance zones

• Reduce enrollment to fewer than 1,000 students in
  all but two elementary buildings. District 202
  will continue to work to decrease enrollments in
  all buildings where enrollments exceed design
  capacity through thoughtful planning and
  construction of new facilities. The location of
  all new schools will be based on growth and
  population trends
• Plan for the future by allowing room for growth
  in the schools geographically closest to District
  202s high growth areas

7
Results

• Create a complete feeder system district-wide,
  except for the Fieldstone and Stone Bluff
  subdivisions, which currently attend Lakewood
  Falls Elementary School, Indian Trail Middle
  School and Plainfield High School-Central Campus
• These subdivisions will attend Lincoln
  Elementary School and Ira Jones Middle School in
  2007-2008, but will continue to attend Plainfield
  High School-Central Campus until changes are made
  to high school attendance assignments in 2008-09
  as part of the opening of Plainfield East High
  School(PLEASE NOTE High school attendance
  zones will not change in 2007-08.)

Future Attendance Zone Changes
Attendance zones must be changed whenever new
schools open to ensure that all students are
properly assigned and school enrollments are
appropriate. District 202 will continue to
adjust attendance area zones in coming years,
starting in 2008-2009, as new schools open.
