Option 1– Pros
Allows all elementary students to remain in a PK-5 Building Provides adequate staffing for clean buildings/services to all students Student/Staff ratio's are well within compliance of negotiated agreement Allows the district to continue to implement the existing daily schedule
that allows for collaborative planning and intervention Maintains the district preschools in their existing buildings Redistributes the least amount of students to new buildings-296 Fair distribution of reductions at the elementary and secondary level
Option 1- Cons
Reduces the number of electives available to CHS students Requires hiring 3 bus drivers Some students will be moved from their neighborhood school Staff with a long history of teaching in a building will be moved May increase sub groups at each building due to increase in
students

Grand Total Reductions $1,049,910.00
Option 2- Pros
Creates "grade band” buildings Brings district students together, regardless of where they
reside - creating unity Eliminates polarization that has existed in the district between
east vs. west Would just have 3rd grade report data at two elementary
buildings Focus on achievement at intermediate would be located at only
one elementary building Still allows for "neighborhood school" concept for Allen and Mt
Logan Fair distribution of reductions across the district
Option 2- Cons
Requires the cost of hiring 4 bus drivers Loss of “neighborhood school” concept which has prevailed in
Chillicothe for a long time By passing a levy we are essentially closing the second best
elementary in the county with a strong tradition of support Requires the re-distribution of over 460 students May increase the number of sub groups in each building due to
increase in students

Option 3 – Cons
Grade level collaboration for grades 4/6 is reduced Breaks up 6th grade team, which has been successful One grade level will run an opposite schedule Cost of moving/renovation of District Office Moving District Central Office May increase sub groups due to increased number of students
