Redistricting Plan 2005 – 2006

With the closing of Kings Highway Elementary and Lower Macungie Elementary schools in June 2005 and the change to a K to Grade 5 structure in all elementary schools, it was necessary to reconfigure the elementary attendance areas for the 2005 – 2006 school year.  When the redistricting project was undertaken, several guidelines and parameters were considered when establishing the attendance areas. 

  • All elementary schools will be developed to eventually provide for a K-5 grade structure.
  • District school buildings will be developed to facilitate the delivery of the educational program to a level of fair distribution of, and access to, educational resources and facilities that are conducive to learning.
  • All elementary schools will be designed for a minimum of two classes per grade level.
  • The district will develop elementary sites that best serve each regional population.
In addition, the following parameters were given consideration when developing the new elementary attendance areas:
  • Each elementary boundary will be comprised of a contiguous geographic area to the extend possible given that two of the elementary buildings are situated side-by-side on one campus.
  • Each elementary school will be considered to be a neighborhood school.
  • Students living within identified developments will be treated as single units.
  • Building enrollments will be balanced related to the capacity of each of the buildings.
  • Revisions to the current attendance areas will disrupt as few students as possible.
  • Provisions will be made in each attendance area to allow for new developments and growth in enrollments beyond the current actual student enrollment.
  • Whenever possible, existing private daycare providers will be distributed among the six attendance areas.
  • Whenever possible, special education students will be assigned to their home school.
