McKinney ISD Approved Middle School Student Redistribution - 2008-2009
 

 

McKinney ISD
2008-2009
Board Approved Middle School Student Redistribution

The McKinney ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a middle school student redistribution plan during the February Regular Board meeting on Monday, Feb. 25. The new school zones for middle schools will be effective for the 2008-2009 school year when Dr. Jack Cockrill Middle School opens.

Current 7th grade students who will be entering the 8th grade for the 2008-2009 school, and who were rezoned to a different middle school, have the option to remain at the current middle school they attend or attend the school that they were rezoned to.

This applies to ONLY CURRENT 7th grade students.

Any 7th grade student that wishes to remain at their current middle school for their 8th grade year in 2008-2009 will be required to complete a Request to Stay form. More detailed information about the Request to Stay form and process will be available at each middle school campus in the near future.

Criteria Used In Developing Redistribution Plan

There were several criteria considered in the development of the various scenarios that were studied. The following are the criteria that were used (in no particular order):

  • Provide relief for campuses that have outgrown their capacity

  • Maximize the utilization of the campuses

  • Extend the time as far as possible before future redistribution of middle school students will need to occur

  • Minimize, whenever possible, the split feeder pattern from elementary school to middle school

  • Provide diversity at all of the middle school campuses

  • Increase the geographical proximity to a closely located middle school where possible

Positive Outcomes

Unfortunately, not all of these criteria can be met in every scenario and some compromise had to take place when looking at these considerations. However, the majority of the criteria have been addressed. In the approved plan we feel that the following positive outcomes have been addressed:

  • An increase in geographical proximity to the middle schools

  • All five (5) middle schools have diversity

  • Allows for continued growth at Scott Johnson Middle School (the area that will most likely face the greatest growth in the near future)

  • If growth projections remain as accurate as they have in the past, there will not need to be any additional redistribution of middle schools for the next 5 years

  • Faubion, Evans, Dowell and Scott Johnson all receive some relief

Specific Changes to Current Middle School Attendance Zones

The approved plan includes the following changes to existing middle school zones:

  • All of Eddins Elementary moves from Scott Johnson MS to Dowell MS

  • All of Wilmeth Elementary moves from Scott Johnson MS to Cockrill MS

  • All of Minshew Elementary south of Hwy. 380 moves from Scott Johnson to Cockrill MS

  • All of Slaughter Elementary moves from Dowell to Cockrill

  • In order to provide relief for Evans, a portion of Malvern Elementary move from Evans MS to Cockrill MS

  • The portion of Burks Elementary that is north of Hwy. 380 moves from Faubion MS to Scott Johnson MS
