Approved Elementary Boundaries for 2015-2016

At their regular meeting on September 18, 2014 the Board of education approved elementary attendance boundaries for the 2015-2016 school year.  There was substantial discussion regarding area E, the Deer View development in Tiffin.  Ultimately the Board voted to include area E with new developments A and B, on the map, in attending at Clear Creek Elementary.

The Board and I are aware that this does not result in the most convenient elementary attendance for all district patrons.  We struggled with meeting the desires of individuals and being good stewards of the district's tax dollars in ensuring that current buildings are utilized as much as possible.  The feeling of the Board was that this boundary solution balanced those needs as well as possible at this time.

Elementary Boundaries 2015-2016, Post Work Session

After the work session on 9/10/14 two possibilities go before the Board on 9/17/14.  The recommendation from the Elementary Boundaries Committee has all of existing Tiffin moving to the new elementary, with new development on the west side of Tiffin attending Clear Creek Elementary. One possible change that came up in the work session was having Area E, also attend at Clear Creek Elementary.

Rationale for the Committee Recommendation centered around all current homes in Tiffin attending the new elementary.  Reasons discussed for having Area E attend CCE included it being a "neighborhood" with the new development to the west and the desire of the Board to ensure that CCE is utilized fairly near its capacity.

Prioritized Boundary Criteria from the Board of Education:

1) Projected Enrollment / Capacity ( 35%)

2) Contiguous Attendance Areas ( 28%)

3) Duration of Boundaries ( 16%)

4) Neighborhoods Intact ( 15%)

5) Fiscal Consideration – Operational ( 6%)
