Red Clay Consolidated School District

The Red Clay Consolidated School District is launching an initiative as part of its 5-year Strategic Plan to review and improve programming and balance enrollment at our secondary schools. This effort will include an analysis of school programs and attendance zones to ensure equitable access to college and career readiness opportunities for all students.

With approval from the School Board at the November Board of Education meeting, the district is forming a special committee to evaluate these factors and provide recommendations to the Board. In doing so, the committee will consider:

• A strong and balanced enrollment across schools
• Changes to current Attendance Zones
• Equitable access to quality education for all students.
• Advantages and challenges of options through data analysis, community feedback, and research.

The committee will include 3 District Administrators, 3 School Leaders, 3 Educators, 7 Parent/Community Members (1 from each nominating district), and outside experts to advise as needed. Members of the committee are expected to provide:

• Commitment: Committee members are expected to attend all scheduled meetings and actively participate in discussions and tasks.
• Objectivity: Members will approach the task with an open mind, focusing on the overall needs of the district and community rather than individual interests.
• Collaboration: Members will work collaboratively, respecting diverse perspectives and expertise.
• Communication: Members will serve as liaisons to the groups they represent, ensuring that all voices are heard and feedback is brought back to the Committee.

The first meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, at 6:00 PM

• Committee members will be contacted with the details.
• Additional meeting dates will be provided at this meeting.

This committee will follow all regulations related to the State of Delaware open meeting laws. If you are interested in serving on this Attendance Zones, Enrollment, & Programming Committee, please complete this interest form by December 13, 2024.

Committee members will be selected by December 20, 2024. If the number of interested participants exceeds the available spaces on the committee, we will inform you of this as well.
