Addl info for rebuttal committee

Here is some info I pulled from the handouts the district gave us. The number of K-5 kids living within 1 mile of a school is 6720 and the number of k-5 students attending a CRPUSD school is 2924. We are only pulling in 43.5% of available students. Why are we not focused on reaching the 56.5% of the kids that are leaving the district?

In addition, in terms of additional ADA from outside of CRPUSD Gold Ridge has 27 interdistrict transfers which comes to $156,017.30 (half the savings of closing the school) which may be lost. La Fiest has 12 which is $69,341.04.

I am still running the numbers but another factor to add in is the cost of 8 portables (approximately $840,000 one time cost) as well as $7,200 annual leasing for 2 years ($115,200) so we are spending approximately $955,200 to save $600,00 over the next two years not to mention the deferred maintenance costs at Evergreen and Hahn.

Lastly, if the plan is still to have a rebuttal letter written and left at the podium for people to read in 3 minute increments does anyone know when it will be available for people to say. I know I would like a chance to read through it once before Tuesday. Thanks Jodie Palmigiano.
