Hillsborough Elementary for the year round program. At Stanbaclc Middle School, we need the <br />number°s to generate the program desired, At A.L. Stanbaclc Middle, space is an issue; CHCCS <br />has without exception approved transfers to OCS for students who wish to attend the year round <br />school; we may need to put a question in the survey that is going out in Orange County Schools <br />to determine interest in middle school year round; it may not be feasible due to space but is <br />worth investigating with the building of new school(s). Consider changing the language from <br />"seeking to raising awareness of parents" to "working together as we consider the development <br />of year round schools" or "communicating about the development of year round schools"; <br />additional seats will be available when Hillsborough Elementary is expanded. <br />Facilitator's notes: <br />CHCCS has talked about this for years.

CHCCS can learn from this <br />Physical capacity gone in kindergarten <br />Space is an issue for OCS <br />Cowity in process of surveying elementary students regarding interest in year round <br />Would that open options for CHCCS? <br />Worth pursuing? <br />Working together as we communicate about year round schools <br />Potential benefit: OCS generates numbers needed for stand alone with CHCCS students <br />13.

Nothing <br />should be crossed out as a possibility; one example for thought is the Walk for Education. <br />Facilitator's notes: <br />College and Career Nights meaningful contacts [Project Graduation] <br />[Walk For Eduaation] <br />14, Measurable opportunities for students in each district to participate in programs in the other <br />district that are not now currently available to them; e.g. CHCCS AP courses, OCS vocational <br />courses, OCS IB program. <br />Superintendent Pedersen (CHCCS) reviewed the item by stating this could identify programs <br />specific to each system that could be made available to other system. <br />Discussion comments: it is worth noting that students cross district lines to attend both ways. <br />Facilitator notes: <br />-7- <br />
