Executive Summary of Committee of the Whole meeting of the Board of Education

District 15 offers a comprehensive proposal to address long standing facility needs, outdated boundary lines and capacity issues, some of which align with community concerns, when once addressed, will help D15 better meet student needs now and for generations of learners to come.

At the April 21, 2021 Committee of the Whole meeting, Superintendent Laurie Heinz, members of her leadership team, and District partners from STR Architects, RSP & Associates, and EOSullivan Consulting/Cor Strategies shared a bold, comprehensive Beyond Just Boundaries proposal.

Years of research and community input — along with outside expertise to explore school capacity, boundary lines, facility needs, and demographic trends — have been melded into a unique proposal that addresses key, long standing community concerns and shared high value priorities.

District 15 serves over 12,000 students within seven municipalities. The District’s current configuration for its 20 schools has contributed to capacity issues and inconsistent placement of educational programs across our expansive boundary lines. Quite simply, the current configuration no longer addresses our needs without significant changes being made in the near future.

The proposal meets the individual needs of students and families residing within the three existing high school “zones” that District 15 serves — Palatine High School, Rolling Meadows High School and Fremd High School — to solve key challenges.

Within each high school zone, the proposal includes suggested boundary adjustments and selective facility additions to balance enrollment at all schools in the zone, and ensure that students will have a neighborhood/near neighborhood school experience. Access to educational programming and support such as special education, bilingual education and gifted education has also been addressed within the proposal. In addition, elementary schools will offer full-day kindergarten while junior high schools will transform into middle schools to better meet the unique needs of young adolescent learners.

Although the challenges within each high school zone are assessed individually, the same rigorous educational standards and robust programming still apply equally across all 20 schools within District 15. The zone approach, however, ensures that students and families will have a cohesive K-12 experience, while creating opportunities for facility improvement and modernization as well as balancing enrollment across the District.

The Beyond Just Boundaries proposal honors the past contributions of previous Boards of Education, community-led Boundary Task Force, as well as parent and community input, while creating a clear vision to meet the needs of current District 15 students as well as generations of learners to come. The 9 High Value Priorities that our recommendation address include:
1. Focus on Near-Neighborhood Schools
2. Establish a Cohesive Educational Pathway for Students
3. Balance Enrollment at all Schools
4. Offer Full-Day Kindergarten for All
5. Implement a Middle School Model
6. Eliminate the Bilingual Overlay
7. Ensure Equitable Access to Programs & Services
8. Utilize Our Facilities More Efficiently
9. Repair and Restore Our School Buildings
Details of the Beyond Just Boundaries proposal, a recording of the meeting, and additional information about the Beyond Just Boundaries work including past information can be found on the District's website.

Next Steps

The proposal will be further discussed and reviewed by the Board of Education at its upcoming meetings this spring as information shared in the form of a proposal with much still to do. The earliest target for implementation of the proposal is currently forecast for the 2023-24 school year.
2021-March & April

Beyond Just Boundaries - Community Engagement Sessions

Thank you so much to everyone who was able to join us for one of our Beyond Just Boundaries community engagement sessions. We know how busy you are and we truly appreciate your time and thoughtful feedback about the 9 Priorities we shared with you.

In March and April, 7 sessions (6 virtual, 1 in person) were conducted in English; 1 virtual session in Spanish, 2 virtual sessions for District 15 staff, 1 virtual session with the District Advisory Committee for Educational Excellence (DACEE) and Community Leaders. We had a total of 377 participants and 1,200 phone responses to our survey.

If you were unable to participate, use this link to view one of the recorded sessions (all of the sessions reviewed the same information) in order to listen in and learn about improvement efforts we are hoping to bring to D15. Click here to watch the Spanish session.

The next Board of Education meeting is a Committee of the Whole and will be held at Walter R. Sundling Junior High on Wednesday, April 21, 2021, at 6:30 p.m. As we have done in the past, the meeting will be available for viewing on YouTube. We hope you tune in!

Community Engagement - We Want To Hear From You!
District 15 has engaged EOSullivan and Cor Strategies to assist in the implementation of community engagement around our ongoing boundary and capacity work. EOSullivan and Cor Strategies will help bring communities together to collaboratively engage and seek feedback around problems and opportunities within the District while fostering a community-driven plan. Click here for the full EOSullivan and Cor Strategies Board presentation.

Since its founding in 1946, District 15 has become a destination district for our academic and social emotional initiatives as well as leading the way in literacy and culturally responsive practices. While we are incredibly proud of the work we have done academically, little attention or funding has been given to the operational foundation of the district over those 75 years.

Our decades-old boundary lines no longer meet our communities’ or our students’ needs. Solving these challenges brings opportunity. By improving our boundary lines and modernizing our facilities, we can achieve many of the enhancements our community has wanted for decades which will support our students’ academic and social emotional needs.

That’s why our community has collaborated on a solution for the past three years. Thousands of community members have provided insight to our district leaders and elected Board of Education Members, and together we have identified nine high value priorities for our school district while maintaining our commitment to fiscal responsibility:
1. Focus on Near-Neighborhood Schools
2. Establish a Cohesive Educational Path for Students
3. Balance Enrollment
4. Offer Full-Day Kindergarten for All
5. Upgrade to a Middle School Model
6. Eliminate the Bilingual Overlay
7. Ensure Equitable Access to Programs & Services
8. Utilize Our Facilities More Efficiently
9. Repair and Restore Our School Buildings
This multi-year effort requires continuous planning, even in the midst of the pandemic. We are ready to take the next steps forward by inviting the community to learn more about where we are in the planning process and invite them to share feedback to help further inform our thinking.

Capacity/Boundary Study Update
The Board received an update on the District’s boundary adjustment planning at its February 10 meeting.

Based on the combined work of key administrators, STR architects and RSP & Associates, deep capacity analysis and demographic surveys have shown that the District may have the ability to achieve its goals without the addition of a 21st school. Should a 21st school be determined necessary, the District will research other viable locations. As such, the Board voted not to seek an additional extension on the Park Place property.

The community’s goals remain front-and-center in our ongoing facility study, in which two key components are school capacity and boundary planning. Linked to this work is our desire to honor community, Board and administrative priorities that include but are not limited to:
- Full-Day Kindergarten;
- A complete feeder pattern from elementary to junior high to high school;
- Potential conversion to a middle school model;
- Eliminate overcrowding and equalize capacities across our schools; and
- Provide equitable access to programs and services.
The Board will receive another update at its March Board meeting before a formal presentation and discussion will take place at a special April Committee of the Whole meeting scheduled for Wednesday, April 21.

Community Engagement will be facilitated by Cor Strategies and is scheduled to begin this Spring.
2021-01-13
The Board heard an update on the District’s boundary adjustment planning at its January 13, 2021 meeting.

The District continues to work with STR architects and RSP school planning firm to determine options for reducing overcrowding in some schools, while also satisfying community’s priorities of establishing a consistent feeder pattern, full day kindergarten, among other priorities taken from a past survey.
RSP is currently working on boundary options that have:
- A complete feeder pattern from elementary to middle to high school
- Potential middle school enhancements
- Updated functional capacity for elementary schools
- Equitable and appropriate space utilization
More information on the process will be shared in February, with community engagement occurring in the spring.

View the meetings below for previous Boundary Task Force meetings, including links to presentations and data, from 2018 through 2020.

Capacity/Boundary Study Update

District administration, STR architectural firm and RSP school planning firm continue to study the District’s enrollment, school capacity and demographic development. The District is also creating a functional capacity for each building based upon programmatic needs with an eye on equitable access across our large District.

This process will continue this winter and spring, with community engagement surrounding potential new school boundaries and programmatic locations occurring in March/April.

The District will continue to update the Board and community on this process as it evolves.
2020-11-12

Boundary Discussion Continues

District 15 administration continues to work closely with architectural partner STR and boundary specialists RSP & Associates to determine the best preliminary options for boundary changes.
An in-depth process to change District 15 school boundaries was launched several years ago through a community-led Boundaries Task Force. The group was tasked with proposing changes to school boundaries that provided relief to overcrowded schools and better aligned feeder patterns from elementary through high school.

In 2019, the District partnered with RSP to refine the preliminary proposals outlined by the Boundary Task Force. Community input and outreach regarding boundary change proposals will take place in early 2021.
2020-09-11

Boundary Work Continues with RSP Associates

The Board continued its examination of school boundaries during its Sept. 9 meeting by hearing an enrollment analysis presentation from RSP & Associates. The Board approved a contract with the educational planning firm in March to assist in planning for potential boundary changes in the future. The firm is utilizing plans from both the Boundaries Task Force and STR architectural firm to develop concepts that balance enrollment across the district and align attendance areas from elementary through high school.

The RSP presentation examined the four concepts presented by the Boundaries Task Force in 2019 and offered updates to each of them. The full presentation is available to view online.

This was the Board’s first opportunity to view and discuss preliminary plans from RSP. A timeline for determining if and when boundary changes will occur has not yet been determined. Before moving forward with additional planning, district-wide community engagement will take place.

Due Diligence Period on Park Place Extended

The Board of Education voted to request an extension on the Park Place property due diligence period at its Sept. 9 meeting. The request is pending approval from the property owner, and contingent upon no additional funds being spent at this time.

The Board entered into a Real Estate Purchase Agreement for the vacant storefront building at Rand and Dundee Roads on June 25, 2019, with tentative plans to convert the space into an elementary school. Because boundary work and discussions are ongoing, the Board voted to request an extension to the due diligence period until the District is further along in the process.
2020-03-11

Contract for Boundary Study Approved

The Board approved a contract with RSP Associates during its March 11 meeting to help facilitate the next phase of the District's boundary study.

District 15 has been studying its school boundaries over the last two years to find efficiencies in the school feeder patterns and alleviate overcrowding in some facilities.

RSP will follow the Boundary Task Force's Guiding Principles and Boundary Criteria as presented at the June 12, 2019 Board of Education meeting, including information from the community survey. RSP will apply its Redistricting Tool to the four concepts developed by the Boundary Task Force and share its findings with the Board this spring.
2020-01-08

Facilities & Boundary Studies Continue

At its Jan. 8 meeting, the Board of Education continued its discussion with STR Partners regarding possible boundary changes to better meet the needs of the schools and larger communities we serve.

STR Partners, the District's architectural firm, presented several preliminary boundary scenarios at the Jan. 8 meeting, largely based upon previous work done by the Boundaries Task Force. STR also provided a maximized capacity for each building by identifying space within the existing facilities that may be renovated into classroom space to meet changing enrollment demands.

The scenarios incorporated a variety of elements including full-day kindergarten, adjustments in program locations, a more streamlined feeder pattern and a middle school (6-8) option. Although the scenarios continue to evolve and improve, none fully meet the needs of the District at this time.

The Board's next step is to invite school boundary consultation firm RSP Associates to a future meeting to potentially assist with the process moving forward.

Feasibility Study and Master Facility Planning presented to Board

At its Nov. 13, 2019, meeting, the Board of Education revisited its discussion of the Boundaries Task Force (BTF) and the feasibility of its initial proposals.

STR Partners presented its findings for converting Thomas Jefferson Elementary School into a junior high or middle school, to align with the BTF proposals. The feasibility study showed conversion of the school is possible with several modifications to the existing school site.

At the Novv. 13 meeting, Dr. Heinz offered a deeper look into the District’s multi-faceted facility needs. Please refer to the attached Memorandum of Information: Feasibility Study and Facility Master Plan; and the D15 Facilities - Part 2 Feasibility Study findings and Facility Master Planning presentation.

Also presented at the Nov. 13 meeting was an updated building capacity study from STR Partners. STR's report shows impact on capacity per building through four scenarios, which include adjustments to feeder patterns, programming and the addition of full-day kindergarten.

The Board will continue its discussion of school boundaries and programming during a future meeting.
2019-09-11
Facility Feasibility Study to Begin for Boundaries Task Force Proposals
STR Partners architectural firm will begin a feasibility study of Thomas Jefferson Elementary School and the district's four junior high schools to determine viability of the four Boundaries Task Force proposals. This work must be done before determining next steps for the BTF and its work.

At its Sept. 11 meeting, the Board of Education directed STR to begin with phase one of a multi-part feasibility study.
Feasibility Study Phase One Components:
- Determine what facility changes are required to convert Thomas Jefferson Elementary School (TJES) into a junior high (grades 7-8) or a middle school (grades 6-8).
- Determine what facility changes are required to convert existing junior high schools into middle schools to allow enough space at elementary buildings for full-day kindergarten.
STR will begin with phase one of the plan and will report back to the Board in the fall with its findings. A future conversation regarding financial implications of any approved plan will also take place.
2019-08-14
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Laurie Heinz provided the Board of Education a review of the overall status of District 15's facilities to ensure that our Board and administrative team are operating from a shared basis of current information.

The discussion at the Aug. 14 meeting addressed the following:
- Background and current status of District 15’s required life safety projects emanating from the 2014 Health-Life Safety Survey;
- Enrollment projections;
- Potential additional projects generated by the Boundaries Task Force (BTF);
- Status of Park Place school proposal; and
- Associated costs and preliminary financing options to complete all/some of these projects.
Background on D15 Health-Life Safety Survey:

All Illinois school districts are required to evaluate their school facilities relative to Illinois Health-Life Safety Code requirements every 10 years. The most current D15 report dates to 2014, when approximately $156 million of facility needs were identified. The facility needs are categorized into three areas:

1. Urgent (Priority “A”) items = $24.5 million (must be completed within one year)

2. Required (Priority “B”) items = $110.6 million (must be completed within five years)

3. Recommended (Priority “C”) items = $20.8 million (recommendations, but not required to complete)

All urgent Priority “A” items, and select “B” items, were completed in 2017 through issuing $27.25 million in bonds. Required priority “B” items total an estimated $106 million, and are required to be completed by District 15 by 2020.

Enrollment Projections:

D15 recently commissioned an enrollment study to determine whether enrollment will increase or decrease in future years, both in total and by grade level.

The main findings indicate that overall district-wide enrollment is expected to decline by approximately 130 students over the upcoming four-year period. Although enrollment is decreasing overall, there are four schools with a projected 5-percent or higher increase by the year 2022-23 (Plum Grove, Marion Jordan, Whiteley, Hunting Ridge).

Boundaries Task Force (BTF) Discussion:

The Boundaries Task Force, a group of volunteer community members, was commissioned in January of 2017 to mitigate capacity concerns at several schools where enrollment is increasing and to address community issues with the current boundary lines. The group presented its preliminary boundary change concepts to the Board of Education at its June meeting.

The group presented four proposals that address the communities top priorities. To view the proposals and read more about them, please visit our website.

Of the four proposals, three of them include the conversion of Thomas Jefferson Elementary into a junior high school, and two include the purchase of a vacant northeast Palatine storefront and converting it into an elementary building.

Before moving forward with any of the proposals identified, the board must first discern if Thomas Jefferson is capable of conversion into a junior high. Additionally, work must be done to outline each proposal's exact boundaries, determine busing and programming impacts and develop a plan for community engagement surrounding the plans.

Park Place School Proposal:

The concept of a school located in northeast Palatine at Rand and Dundee Roads in the Park Place shopping center was identified as an option for the Board of Education to consider in 2018.

More than 20 percent of District 15 students live in the northeast quadrant of Palatine without close access to a school facility. This building would solve that problem, while also freeing up space in other buildings to allow for full-day kindergarten district-wide.

The Park Place facility is incorporated into two of the four BTF proposals. Before the Board can decide if it would like to purchase Park Place at an estimated cost of $17.9 million, a more detailed plan regarding boundaries, educational impact and financial impact would need to be explored.

Funding Options:

The district's capital budget cannot possibly fund all needed Health-Life Safety projects, the purchase of Park Place and/or other facility projects identified by the district and BTF.

A presentation on funding options from the district's financial advisor will be provided to the Board in the fall to allow for a better understanding of overall revenue sources available to D15 and what will be possible financially.

Next Steps:

The Board decided to commission a feasibility study of Thomas Jefferson Elementary School to determine if it can be converted into a junior high school. Additional work with the BTF will wait until the study is complete so it can determine next steps.

The Board will discuss potential revenue sources needed to tackle future facilities work after hearing the in-depth financial presentation provided this fall.

Boundaries Task Force discusses preliminary proposals

At its June 12, 2019, meeting, the Board of Education heard four preliminary proposals from the District 15 Boundaries Task Force. Three members of the task force spoke on behalf of the 37-person team.
The task force is a group of volunteers representing all District 15 schools. The group has been asked to create possibilities for new boundaries for the board's consideration that address overcrowding issues at several buildings as well as community boundary concerns.

Preliminary Boundary Proposals

The group's presentation included four basic boundary change concepts for the board's consideration. The purpose of the presentation was to help the board make an informed decision regarding the purchase of the Park Place property in northeast Palatine that is being considered for a K-6 elementary school. To view the presentation of boundary proposals, visit our website.

Next Steps

At its next meeting in August, the board will continue to discuss the Park Place property and will make a final decision regarding its purchase in the fall. After the board makes its decision about Park Place, the Boundaries Task Force will finalize its concepts and obtain community feedback before presenting again to the board. The Boundaries Task Force operates a Facebook page where it welcomes conversation.

If the board decides to purchase Park Place and/or change school boundaries, the earliest any changes would occur would be the fall of 2021.
2019-04-10

Board revisits potential school concept in northeast Palatine

District 15 administration is revisiting the possibility of creating a new school in northeast Palatine in the former Whole Foods location in the Park Place shopping center. The Board of Education approved a preliminary real estate contract with the developer during its April 10, 2019 meeting, with a contingency period in place to allow for a fuller examination of the proposal.

The idea of a school in this location has been looked into over the course of the last year. The board withdrew its purchase agreement with the developer in November after the original plan failed to gain needed support from all parties. Since then, Superintendent Dr. Scott Thompson has continued to work with the property owner and the Village of Palatine to create a plan that would meet all of the entities’ approval.
The latest concept for a potential school is located in a different section of the development. Plans have also been adjusted to allow for a larger playground and play field. The space would accommodate 32 classrooms and would become a K-6 elementary school facility. The added space would allow for full-day kindergarten to be implemented district-wide.

Administration will present a more detailed plan, including projected long-term operating costs, at the May 2019 Board of Education meeting. If the board decides not to move forward with the proposal, it can vote to withdraw its agreement without adverse monetary implications.

The group initially planned on sharing proposals with the public this spring, but the timeline has slowed down to allow more work to continue. Continue to follow the work of the task force by "liking" its Facebook page.
2019-03-18
Boundaries Task Force Update
The Boundaries Task Force continues to meet diligently to create multiple options for potential new school boundaries. The group's last meeting was held March 18, where two preliminary boundary proposals were shared.

The group is made up of more than 30 community members representing all schools in the district. They have been tasked with developing proposed adjustments to school boundaries in order to alleviate overcrowding at several schools and better meet the needs of the community.
The group is working with the community's priorities in mind (data from fall 2018 community survey):

Neighborhood schools

Alignment of elementary & junior high schools with feeder high schools

Smaller class sizes

Full-day kindergarten

Alleviate overcrowding

Reduce bus travel times

Fiscal responsibility

Minimal disruption to families

Subdivisions not split up

Efficient use of school buildings

Diversifying schools

So far, the committee has worked through three preliminary proposals that would satisfy many of the community priorities. The proposals are now being refined before they are shared with the community for feedback. Community feedback will drive any final adjustments to the proposals which will then be shared with the Board of Education for its consideration.

The group initially planned on sharing proposals with the public this spring, but the timeline has slowed down to allow more work to continue. Continue to follow the work of the task force by "liking" its Facebook page.

Boundaries Task Force holds third group meeting
The Boundaries Task Force is continuing its work to develop possible scenarios for school boundary changes for the community and Board of Education's review. The group met for its third meeting on Dec. 17, 2018.
The Boundaries Task Force is made up of 37 community members, including District 15 parents and residents without children in our schools. All members were selected by two community co-chairs.

The task force was formed for two reasons: To mitigate capacity concerns at several schools where enrollment is increasing and to address community issues with the current boundary lines. A flow chart of the Boundaries Task Force process is available on our website.

At the Dec. 17 meeting, the group divided into subcommittees and discussed goals and objectives. The subcommittees include:
- Proposals
- Data analysis
- Educational impact
- Community engagement
- Oversight
The task force will be continue to meet over the winter and spring months before sharing proposed boundary options with the community. Once community feedback is obtained and plans are refined, final proposals will be presented to the Board of Education for its review. The earliest date a change could occur is August of 2020.

To follow along with updates from the Boundaries Task Force, please "like" its newly formed Facebook page.

BOUNDARIES TASK FORCE HOLDS FIRST MEETING

The District 15 Boundaries Task Force held its first meeting on Thursday, Sept. 27. Of the 224 people who applied to be part of the group, co-chairs Sid Aman and Nipesh Patel selected 37 members representing all schools and geographic areas of the school district. Membership includes District 15 parents and residents without children in our schools.

The task force was formed for two reasons: To mitigate capacity concerns at several schools where enrollment is increasing and to address community issues with the current boundary lines.

Goals

During the meeting, the group introduced themselves and explained their reasons for wanting to be part of the task force. They discussed the main goal of providing the Board of Education with at least three recommendations for boundary adjustments that provide the most benefit to the community.

Enrollment Data

Dr. Thompson explained the district’s historical enrollment data, sharing that although enrollment is decreasing overall in the district, there are four buildings where enrollment is going up, causing capacity concerns: Pleasant Hill, Plum Grove, Hunting Ridge, and Willow Bend. He also shared that 22 percent of our students come from Northeast Palatine where there is not a school nearby. These factors are among many that contribute to the complex issue of boundary lines.

Priorities

After learning about the current issues, the group discussed potential priority areas. Some ideas included reducing bus travel times, disrupting as few families as possible, more efficient use of current schools, elementary schools aligning with junior high and high schools, and maintaining neighborhood schools.

Community Survey

The Boundaries Task Force would like to survey the community to see what its priorities are in this area. An online survey will be distributed next week for input from stakeholders. The group will review the survey data at its next meeting in October.

Next Steps

There is not a firm timeline in place for if and when school boundaries might change. The decision will be made by the Board of Education when presented with the task force's recommendations. The district will keep the community updated on the task force’s work as new information is available.
2018-09-13

More than 220 community members applied to be part of the newly formed District 15 Boundaries Task Force. Applications were open from Aug. 31 through Sept. 10.

Community co-chairs Sid Amman and Nipesh Patel will be reviewing the applicants and determining the best mix of 15-20 people to represent the community on this topic. Those selected will be contacted directly.

This group will be given the very important job of examining the district’s current school boundaries and overall enrollment trends, and providing the Board of Education with multiple options for potential changes to meet the future needs of the district. Interested community members who are not selected to serve on the committee will still have opportunities to review options and recommendations and provide feedback before they are presented to the Board of Education.

The group's first meeting will occur on Sept. 27 at 6:30 p.m.
2018-08-31

District 15 is seeking applicants to serve on the newly formed Boundaries Task Force. This group will be given the very important job of examining the district’s current school boundaries and overall enrollment trends, and providing the Board of Education with multiple options for potential changes to meet the future needs of the district.

If you are interested in applying to be part of the task force, please fill out the online application by Monday, Sept. 10. A group of 15-20 District 15 residents will be selected to be part of the group. The district seeks balanced representation from all areas of District 15 to participate at the first meeting on Thursday, Sept. 27, 6:30 to 9 p.m.
