2023 Redistricting
Board Meeting Presentation & Discussion
Redistricting provides three opportunities.
- Balance enrollment at our elementary and middle schools to match changes in student population.
- Align elementary schools so that each building serves students K-5, has space for preschool, and has similar facilities.
- Optimize the use of district resources.
Combined, these three items create more equitable learning environments and experiences for our students. It ensures the district is functioning responsibly and with the future in mind.
As our community grows and changes, it is important that we meet the educational needs of every learner. Before this school year began, we announced that redistricting would accompany our many construction projects throughout the district. This is an important step forward for our school community as we look at serving our students for many years to come.
Remember that in redistricting, the overall district boundaries do not change. All Crown Point Community School Corporation students will remain our students, and we are not opening enrollment to students outside the district.
CPCSC will use a data-driven approach to redistricting. This begins with collecting and analyzing the current and projected enrollment for each school. A specialized software program will map the data to inform new boundary lines. It's important to know that although data is driving the process, the end goal is creating the best learning environment for every single student.
Keep in mind that our student population is not growing as quickly as some might assume. See our FAQs below for more information about the projections for the next decade.
