Remaining schools will continue to serve RISD families, and must be maintained to meet the academic and programming needs and expectations of the RISD community. The majority of RISD school buildings were constructed in the 1950s-1970s, and periodic updates are necessary for the buildings to continue to safely and effectively serve students and educators.

However, some families would be rezoned to a school farther away than their current campus. As part of back to school planning each year, RISD\u2019s transportation department evaluates enrollment within each attendance area and determines where bus routes will be. Based on state guidelines, bus transportation is offered to families that reside 2+ miles away from their attendance area school. Transportation routes can also be added shorter than two miles if the route to school is determined to be hazardous (due to construction or other impediment to safely walking or biking). Bus route information is shared with all families at a campus in advance of the school year as part of back to school information, and is also <a href=\"https:\/\/web.risd.org\/transportation\/\"><strong>available centrally through the RISD Transportation website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCrossing guards are city employees (they are hired, trained, and placed by the cities of Dallas, Richardson and Garland). and not RISD employees.

Those guidelines would not change, and class sizes at any elementary school should not be significantly impacted. In most cases, if additional students at a school were to cause classes to exceed the ratios above, then an additional teacher would be allocated and a new class section would be created. This is the process that RISD works through each year as families enroll leading into the start of school. In rare instances, a specific class might be at 23-1 to accommodate specific family situations at a school. If that occurs, the principal and teacher are involved in the decision and a class size waiver is filed with the state of Texas. <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-42417\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"17\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-42417\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How were school demographics considered when arriving at recommendations?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-42417\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"17\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-42417\"><p>The primary considerations when identifying schools for consolidation are percent of building utilization, overall building capacity, additional projected decline among attendance area families, physical location in relation to partnering schools, and reducing the need to transport students. School demographics were considered as part of ensuring that families impacted would not attend a new campus with a substantially different demographic makeup than their current campus.<\/p>\n\nRISD is a minority majority school district and more than 70% of enrolled students are students of color. The four K-6 campuses recommended for consolidation have been directly impacted by RISD\u2019s enrollment loss since the pandemic and are projected to continue enrollment decline among zoned families. RISD has lost more than 2500 students since 2019, and 85% of those students are Hispanic or Black, which has directly impacted the available space and lower utilization in many schools serving minority families. \n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-42418\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"18\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-42418\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-chevron-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">When RISD refers to a Learning Community what does that mean?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-42418\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"18\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-42418\">A learning community is how RISD refers to the collection of geographic school attendance zones that feed into each high school.
