During the presentation, members of the group offered six options for the future of the district. Most of the changes focused on elementary schools. The first option involved closing either the East or West elementary school, repurposing it as an administration building and holding elementary classes in just three buildings. The group said that elementary class sizes could be better balanced, and that the full curriculum of special education services could be offered at one school — something the current model lacks — though that could impact class sizes and change the dynamic of neighborhoods.

Another option would make one elementary school into a district-wide early childhood center, housing pre-K through kindergarten or first grade, and spread the remaining elementary grades across the other three schools. A sub-option called for fifth-graders to move to the middle school. This would put an emphasis on early-childhood education and create a safe setting for the youngest students, but would offer only minimal cost savings. Additionally, the group was not sure how the addition of fifth grade would change middle school culture.

Another option called for the closing of East School or its repurposing as an administration building, and keeping pre-K through second grade in one or two schools and third through fifth grades in another. The group acknowledged that this would put a strain on parents who had children in different schools, but it would also allow for a concentration of resources and music and special programs.

In another scenario, West and Lido would take pre-K to second grade and become the feeder schools for East and Lindell, which would house third through fifth grades. The consolidation of elementary students in two schools would allow for a better bilingual program and would balance class sizes, but would change the neighborhood school culture and potentially separate siblings.
