Limited resources (District adds additional support)
Combination classes across K-6
Middle School Program implementation limitations
Limitations for grade level collaboration and planning
Staff take on multiple tasks
Additional facility modifications
½ Time Administrator

6. Consideration K-6 Houston students to Victor
7-8 Houston students to Lockeford
Move Serna Charter Dual Immersion program to Houston
Develop late enrollment process for Houston students who wish to stay at Houston and enroll in the Dual Immersion program

7. Benefits
Houston facility would remain open with more effective use of the facility
Houston students could be considered for Dual Immersion Program and remain at Houston
Students would be in fewer combination classes
Measure U and other facility funds could be saved if the current Serna facility is not a K-8
Current Serna Facility could be used to address other Board priorities with less
Measure U expenditures

Attendance area adjustments

13. Current Serna Facility Issues
High interest for Dual Immersion program district-wide
Waiting list
School of choice
Facility is not designed for a K-8 (Example: no adequate playground)
No current classroom space available for growth
Kindergarten housed in basement in small spaces
Majority of classrooms do not meet CDE 960 Square Feet standards
Limitations for additional portables
Middle School Program implementation limitations
Will need additional facility modifications if kept a K-8

14. Next Steps Parent meetings at Houston and Serna
Staff will continue to explore this option if Board is interested in more information
Parent meetings at Houston and Serna
Further exploration of impacts on transportation, staff, facilities, etc.
