BOUNDARY STUDY

PARENT SURVEY RESULTS – PART II

BOUNDARY STUDY SURVEY

Purpose of Boundary Study:

❖ Address the growing transportation challenges

resulting from increased traffic in the south metro

area.

❖ Provide boundaries for the new elementary school

to be built for the Ames neighborhood (opening

Fall, 2021).

❖ Provide boundaries for the new elementary school

to be built for the combined Highland and Franklin

neighborhood (opening Fall, 2022).

❖ Better balance enrollment between Newton and

Powell middle schools.

2018 Bond:

❖ Strategically replace aging facilities in a way that

addresses transportation and school size

challenges.

❖ Prolong the life of aging facilities and address

accessibility issues until the district can replace

them in decades to come.

❖ Create a new Career and Technical Education

and Innovation Center.

❖ Replace old, outdated classroom furniture in

every school with new furnishings that facilitate

modern instruction while accommodating

students with a variety of needs.

● Survey emailed to all LPS parents (excluding

charter schools) May 22-June 5, 2020.

ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS

18Please note: capacity numbers in LPS schools were estimated a few years ago based on programming in the school at the time. They do not necessarily accurately reflect capacity per

current programming and fire code. None of LPS’s schools will be over capacity with in-district enrollment estimates in any of the proposed scenarios.
