That whereas the Innovation Agenda proposal of 2011 stressed that the new middle schools would be small schools with cohorts of roughly 88 students per grade for a total enrollment of 300 students or fewer; and
Whereas the current total enrollment of VLUS (FY20 projected) is 303 students; and
Whereas current plans for the new VLUS are for a total population of 552 students, which would be an 82% increase in size;
The School Committee will have a roundtable to discuss the desired size of CPS upper schools and any alternatives to having any upper schools of more than 350 students. (C19-343)
