Purposeof Attendance BoundaryStudy

• Opening of the Terry P. Bradley Educational Center (TBEC)in 2025:

• Relieves overcrowding at the Reagan EducationalCenter

• Prepares for continued residential development in the district

• New Attendance Area Needed for New Educational Center

• MaximizeExistingSchool Capacity toMaintain Strong School Communities in Every Part of the District

SchoolCapacity Challenge: Too Large

If nothing changes, within a few years enrollment far exceeds capacityat:
• Fugman
• Riverview
• Cedarwood • Dry Creek
• Reyburn
• Clovis East

Overcrowding stretches facilities like restrooms, cafeterias, playgrounds,classrooms,and more.

7

SchoolCapacity Challenge: Too Small

If nothing changes, within a few years some schools in other parts of the district will be significantly under capacity.
• Jefferson
• Maple Creek • Nelson
• Pinedale
• Sierra Vista • Valley Oak • Weldon

Under-enrollment makes it difficult to provide students with similar co-curricular and academic programming as that of larger schools.

Challenge

If no changes made, some schoolswould be underutilized, others would be extremely over-crowded

2025-2026 School Year
7th, 8th or 9th grade studentswho have an older sibling who will be in 10th - 12th grade may apply (in the 2024 Open Enrollment window) to remain at their original
