School Closures, Consolidations, and Boundary Changes for the 2012/2013 School Year
May 16, 2012
7
Approved the School Closures, Consolidations, and Boundary Changes for the 2012/2013
School Year as follows:
1) merger of the current Rillieux and Cherbonnier student bodies to be located on the Cherbonnier
campus with the school to be named Lucille Cherbonnier/Norbert Rillieux Elementary. A
turnaround like model will be employed on this campus beginning with the 2012/13 school year.
2) reassignment of students at Kate Middleton to William Hart Elementary and Terrytown
Elementary.
3) merger of the current Homedale and McDonogh student bodies to be served on the McDonogh
26 campus with the school to be named McDonogh 26/Homedale Elementary.
4) relocation of St. Ville to the Ehret campus continuing its mission as the St. Ville Connections
Program at Ehret.
5) relocation of Bunche to the Bonnabel campus continuing its mission as the Bunche
Connections Program at Bonnabel.
6) merger of the current Waggaman and Westbank Community school student bodies to be
located at the current Westbank Community School facility. The school will retain its current
name.
7) physical closure of the Maggiore campus and the reassignment of these students to the Clancy
site, G. T. Woods, and Green Park as described in Appendix C. (copy on file)
8) reassignment of most students now attending Clancy (except for walkers and bus riders for the
arts program) to Audubon, G. T. Woods, Hazel Park, and Washington as described in Appendix
C. The Clancy facility will be named John Clancy/Joseph Maggiore Elementary.
9) boundary changes to relieve overcrowding at Alexander elementary as described in Appendix
D. (copy on file)
10) boundary changes to relieve overcrowding at Birney Elementary as described in Appendix D.
(copy on file)
11) boundary changes to relieve overcrowding at Estelle Elementary and the corresponding
conversion of Ellender Middle into a kindergarten through eighth grade facility. The school
would be named Allen Ellender Elementary. (Appendix B) (copy on file)
12) boundary changes associated with the conversion of Ellender into an elementary school
involving the reassignment of some Ellender students to Truman, some Truman students to
Worley, and some Worley students to Ford. (Appendix B) (copy on file)
Admittedly, closure/consolidation and boundary changes are very sensitive topics. For the most
part, the public hearings revealed strong ties and connections to the recommended schools.
However, the reality facing our district indicates that adjustments are necessary. Unfortunately,
our school district is underperforming with a serious budget shortfall on the immediate horizon.
As budgets become tighter, the question becomes can we truly afford to continue paying the
expenses associated with low student performance in schools with relatively low enrollment.
Great care was taken to preserve our higher performing schools and to assign students in currently
underperforming schools into better situations that would raise the odds in their favor in terms of
student achievement. Of the 46,136 students currently enrolled in our district, 2,512 or 5.4% will
be affected by closure, consolidation, or boundary changes.
Each school recommended for closure or consolidation is recognized by the Louisiana
Department of Education as a "D" or "F" school. While there are such things as high "D" or "F",
our district now has much higher expectations for each of its schools regardless of circumstances.
The immediate goal of our school system is to have no school classified as "D" or "F". The longterm expectations are to have all schools categorized as an "A" or "B" school and to have our
district on sound financial footing.

Approval of Minutes
Approved the following minutes:
a. Minutes of Special Session Meeting and Public Hearing of February 27, 2012
b. Public Hearing of February 28, 2012
c. March 7, 2012
Moved by Dr. Licciardi, seconded by Mr. Floyd – unanimously carried.
New Business
First Readings
The following First Reading was authored by Dr. Licciardi:
Move that the Board present a plan of redistricting Board districts in accordance with the
2010 Census not later than the August 2012 Board meeting.
Rationale
We are required legally to redistrict by the end of this calendar year or such will be done
by an agency outside the district. Therefore, we should take care of our redistricting.
The following First Reading was authored by Dr. Licciardi:
Move that the Board tentatively adopt those sections of the teacher contract that are
neither in opposition with new state laws nor in contradiction to the school system’s
school based administration philosophy. Further, the Board will proceed to negotiate in
good faith to create a viable contract that centers on student achievement.
Rationale
The school year is nearing an end, and it is vital for the Board to reflect good faith to the
teachers who have been our employees. It is vital that we indicate to these employees
what our expectations are and working conditions they will return to for the 2012-2013
school year. Without such assurances, it is possible that teachers may seek other systems
for their employment.
Mr. Morgan assumed chairmanship.
The following First Reading was authored by Mr. Jacobs:
In light of new legislation recently signed into law by Governor Jindal, the recent reorganization plan approved by the Jefferson Parish School Board, along with new school
board policies, all of which conflict with elements of the existing Collective Bargaining
Agreement (CBA), I move that all interested parties be notified, the existing CBA, not be
extended beyond June 30, 2012.
Mr. Jacobs resumed chairmanship.
Public Comment
Kessler Jones, JFT, addressed the Board on non-agenda speakers to address the Board and
administration for high achieving students.
