Discussion:  Work Session last week - Colleen Martinez presented to the board 2 options for rezoning - convert middle schools to 6, 7, 8. - recommendations was to do away with 6th grade academy.  Retiring AV building and building a middle school in the South Side. Culmination of that.  Two directions - it will enable us to more adequately service kids and enable us to take money in transportion with bus hubs and will expand the opportunity and kids to participate in sports and activities. It will take us out of serious problem with CIS in 2 years in that the bulding will be overwhelmed and we will have to put portables in - it will not be able to support all the students. recommendation for current 6th grad to transion to a 6, 7 school and 6,7,8 the following year.  CIS will take 6th grade next year and keep 7th and 8th.  moving demographics around to having all groups represented and have economics to balance out the 2 districts.  Carlsbad has developments on South end of town with high incoming members of the community while balancing. Go with option B - the difference (recognizes the fact that some developments out of desert willow zone and move into AV district.  If we leave those developments in CIS it will over populate that school.   Then work on a location for new middle school location.  5 year facility plan should be out in about 6 weeks.
