Why do we not propose to lower utilization rates as called for in planning assumptions adopted in September 2005?
The goals established by the Board of Education and Board of Commissioners in September called for a reduction in current utilization rates by 2015 to 95% in elementary and middle schools (currently 105% and 99%) and 97.5% in high schools (currently 100%). Such a reduction would reduce the stresses caused by annual variations in student enrollment patterns and reduce the amount of student reassignment and mobile unit relocation required each year. However, making significant progress toward these goals would require the additional schools identified in the previous question. In the 2010-11 school year, under this draft proposal, the elementary utilization rate would be unchanged, middle school utilization would drop slightly to 96% and high school utilization would drop slightly to approximately 98%.
