TOKAY COLONY AND LIVE OAK ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS: FUTURE ENROLLMENT LODI UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING MARCH 5,

PROPOSAL FROM MRS. RENHULT Restore the Harney Lane Migrant Camp students to the Tokay Colony attendance area. Increase staffing at Tokay Colony from 4 teachers to 6 teachers which reduces the number of combination classes ( K/1 only) Live Oak enrollment numbers reduce, requiring the displacement of 2 teachers. Would reduce the number of combination classes at Live Oak if 4 th and 5 th grade teachers agree to take a few more than 32 students and the 6 th grade teacher has a small class. 2

ENROLLMENT TRENDS The incoming enrollment for Tokay Colony students and Harney Lane Migrant Camp students is declining: Kindergarten Students : 4 – Tokay Colony 4 – Harney Lane : 4* – Tokay Colony 6 – Harney Lane (*9 K’s registered with 5 requesting IDA’s) Over time, Tokay Colony will reduce to a very small school with approximately students per grade level, requiring combination classes. If the migrant students were moved to Tokay Colony, eventually they will be isolated as a group. During the months the migrant students leave, the class enrollments will be even smaller. 3
