Grand Total Reductions $1,000,921.00

Option 1– Pros

Allows all elementary students to remain in a PK-5 Building Provides adequate staffing for clean buildings/services to all students Student/Staff ratio's are well within compliance of negotiated agreement Allows the district to continue to implement the existing daily schedule

that allows for collaborative planning and intervention Maintains the district preschools in their existing buildings Redistributes the least amount of students to new buildings-296 Fair distribution of reductions at the elementary and secondary level

Option 1- Cons

Reduces the number of electives available to CHS students Requires hiring 3 bus drivers Some students will be moved from their neighborhood school Staff with a long history of teaching in a building will be moved May increase sub groups at each building due to increase in

students

Option 2: CLOSE TIFFINGrade Band Buildings Allen & Mt.L (PK-3) Worthington 4-5

Primary Considerations7.6 General Education Teaches $552,768.00 4.5 Unified Arts Teachers $337,170.00 4.3 Classified Positions $167,282.00 2 Supplemental Contracts $9,186.00 Freshman Sports $8,000.00 CAFR $9,000.00 Building Closure $59,000.00 Total Reductions $1,142,406.00

Additional ConsiderationsSeasonal-Temporary Mowing $18,000.00Cost of additional bus drivers -$110,496.00Total Additional Reductions -$92,496.00

Grand Total Reductions $1,049,910.00

Option 2- Pros

Creates "grade band” buildings Brings district students together, regardless of where they

reside - creating unity Eliminates polarization that has existed in the district between

east vs. west Would just have 3rd grade report data at two elementary

buildings Focus on achievement at intermediate would be located at only

one elementary building Still allows for "neighborhood school" concept for Allen and Mt

Logan Fair distribution of reductions across the district

Option 2- Cons

Requires the cost of hiring 4 bus drivers Loss of “neighborhood school” concept which has prevailed in

Chillicothe for a long time By passing a levy we are essentially closing the second best

elementary in the county with a strong tradition of support Requires the re-distribution of over 460 students May increase the number of sub groups in each building due to

increase in students

Option 3: CLOSE WESTERN (CMS2)6th Grade Dispersed to Elementary

5.6 General Education Teachers $399,544.00 3.5 UnifiedArts Teachers $254,177.00 7 Classified Personnel $263,666.00 2 Supplemental Contracts $9,186.00 Freshman Sports $8,000.00 CAFR $9,000.00 Building Closure (Western) $50,000.00 Total Reductions $993,573.00

Additional ConsiderationsSeasonal-Temporary Mowing $18,000.00

Option 3 - Pros

Keeps promise to the community Aligns to the District Master Plan Maintains neighborhood school concept Provides for teacher collaboration at grades 5/6 Reduces student transitions to 1 from elementary to middle school Doesn’t require the district to relocate any students Allows for additional administrative support at CMS Keeps Band and modifies Orchestra at Elementary Maintains Elementary Class size/allows for OE applications Fair distribution of reductions across the district

Option 3 – Cons

Grade level collaboration for grades 4/6 is reduced Breaks up 6th grade team, which has been successful One grade level will run an opposite schedule Cost of moving/renovation of District Office Moving District Central Office May increase sub groups due to increased number of students

Levy Failure – CLOSE TIFFIN

grades Crowded classrooms, high student/staff ratio’s Decrease in adult supervision due to loss of teachers
