Middle School Site Selection Process/Update

Capistrano Unified School District personnel (Superintendent, Assistant
Superintendent
, and others) completes research to determine the District’s recommendation
Future enrollment trendsDiscussions with administration
Financial feasibility
Logistical feasibility
District presents their recommendation to the CUSD Board of Trustees
Board of Trustees debates the recommendation at a School Board meeting and asks questions of District personnel if necessary
Board of Trustees will either vote to accept the District’s recommendation or postpone the vote if more research is needed.
If the Board of Trustees does not approve the District’s recommendation, the District must either provide more information in support of their recommendation or provide an alternative recommendation.
Slide3Friends of MIP’s Role in Middle School Site Selection Process
Although this decision is not our decision to make, the Friends of MIP Board felt it was important to try and provide information to the Capistrano Unified School District and Board of Trustees that would hopefully be taken into consideration during the Site Selection Process. As information about possible sites under consideration became known to the Friends of MIP Board, this information was shared with the parent community and feedback was collected to provide to both the District and the Board of Trustees.
To be clear, the Friends of MIP Board was never asked by the Capistrano Unified School District or the Board of Trustees to provide feedback from our parent community. We were merely
trying
to make sure our parent community would have their voices heard as the District and Board of Trustees completed their decision making process.
We currently do not know why the District requested the delay in presenting the additional information requested by the Trustees at the last School Board meeting. We are trying to get more information from the District to find out what the current considerations are and if the District’s recommendation from the prior meeting is going to change or remain the same.

What is Language Arts?
Language Arts, whether English or Mandarin, is defined by Merriam-Webster.com dictionary as the subjects (as reading, spelling, literature, and composition) that aim at developing the student's comprehension and capacity for use of written and oral language.
(3)
Assumption of Assimilation into Current IB Program
We have received feedback from two trustees that a consideration
may
be
to place the MIP program at Hankey as a separate, independent program from IB. One trustee mentioned the possibility of relocating the whole K-8 MIP program there outside of the IB program. We do not know how seriously these options are being considered but felt it was important information to share with the parent community.

Slide10What’s Next?
With the District’s request to delay further discussion on our placement until the March 9
th
meeting, we have more time to try and determine what the District’s intentions are and what sites are currently under consideration.
Once we have a better understanding of what’s being considered, we will be able to update the parent community and request feedback. We intend to use the information we receive to create a follow up survey to gather parental input to present to the District and the Board of Trustees prior to their meeting on March 9th.
We are hoping to have this information so we can launch the follow up survey shortly after our next Friends of MIP Board meeting on March 1
