Subject: Information on Lane Students from PPS Data & Policy Analysis Dept.
Sarah & Sara, I just received this data from the district on current distribution of Lane students.
this is very interesting as it shows that many students from Lane already attend Cleveland and is not such a foreign concept.
This was something Karl Logan mentioned at our meeting earlier this week.
He had stated, that although when polled, the students said they would rather go to Franklin, this has traditionally not been the case and many of them attend Franklin, Cleveland and Benson.
It is interesting when looking at the data I received from the district that approximately 20% of lane students have chosen to attend Cleveland in the past. (Actually more lane students chose to attend Cleveland that Franklin)
Wasn’t the fact that 20% of last years students at Creston are now attending Cleveland the justification you used at the board subcommittee meeting on Wednesday?
I believe you said “since 20% of Creston already goes to Cleveland, therefore we believe this change of feeder won’t be a big deal.”
So why in this same justification not applicable for sending Whitman to Cleveland?
In looking at the data, It is 8 minutes longer by bus for kids to go from Whitman to Cleveland, than Whitman to Franklin.
While Creston is an 8 minute walk to Franklin, yet a 15 minute bus ride to Cleveland.
Combine that with the fact that 20% of Whitman students already go to Cleveland.
So I ask, why is the justification not valid in one instance and the basis for a recommendation in the other?
Isn’t the district committed to work towards a closer balance of SES where easily achieved.
This seems to be an option to easily achieve a closer balance.
Am I missing something here?

Good morning Donna. I had a meeting with Karl Logan the principal of Lane this AM and he mentioned that many of his students don’t continue to the high school in their catchment and choose to transfer elsewhere. He mentioned many go to Marshall, Franklin, Cleveland and Benson in particular. Do you have data on where last years 8th graders go to high school now? Or even the previous years students as well? I’m just trying to see what he was talking about and how significant this is.
Thanks again for your help.
