She urged the board to
"postpone, regroup and look
at other cost-cutting alter.na-
tives."
K-12 options
At the board's request,
Williams, in his capacity as
assistant superintendent,
presented a preliminary
analysis of forming K-12
schools in Indian Valley, '
Portola and Chester.
In developing the analysis,
the administrative cabinet
assumed an enrollment
trigger of 260 students, which
is .the current enrollment in
Indian Valley.
Williams developed two
maps for each community:
one with K-12 housed on the
elementary campus and one
with all grades housed on the
high school campus. For
Quincy, he presented maps of
what a consolidated elemen-
tary school would look like at
each campus.

In a more in-depth look at
the Indian Valley situation,
Williams estimated that con-
solidating K-12 at either the
high school or the Greenville
Elementary campus could
save the district $522,356 or
$586,151, respectively.
Closing GHS and consoli-
dating K-8 at GES would save
an estimated $989,757.
After questions from the
floor, Williams acknowledged
the figures did not include
a "late bus" to transport
students participating in
after-school activities.
Williams said such a bus
would cost $5'0,000.
The analysis can be found
on the district's website.
Redistricting
Following suit with Feather
River College trustees, the
school board voted to main-
tain its at-large voting
method and its current
district boundaries.
The questions arose after
the latest census showed a
shift in population in the
county that left the largest
area 40 percent more popu-
lous than the smallest
area. Ideally the difference
would be only 10 percent, at
most,
Board members felt that
the at-large voting method
compensated for the discrep-
ancy.

Jim Norman added.
Whether or not closures
and consolidations actually
happen, students are already
being affected.
Committee member and
parent Anna Jeffrey repor/ed
that during her work on the
Community Contacts Sub-
committee, she has been told
that Taylorsville students
were bused to an vent at
Greenville Elementary to
acclimate them to consolida-
tion.
Not so, according to Princi-
pal Dr. Gary Stebbins, who
said staff and faculty were
directed not to talk about
that.
The students were invited
over for a special perfor-
mance via Artists in the
Schools, a common practice.
Comments circulated back
and forth for a few minutes,
with the general consensus
that it must have been the
closure-talk of parents at the
event that was overheard.
Grandmother LaVeta
Alexander related a story
about how one of her grand-
children made a Save TES
poster at school and brought
it home.
"Whatever is happening,
it's hurting the children," she
said.
Committee members are
hurting too, for information.

information members had
already been given in their
committee packets; it was not
what they requested.
Requests to fill out surveys
resulted in 169 responses, all
before the committee began
meeting.
Parent Wendy Weight and
the Sierra Institute for Com-
munity and Environment
were leads on this survey,
available in hard copy and
online.
In sharing the results,
Weight said there was a co.m-
mon theme throughout.
People wanted a dynamic,
innovative and flexible cur-
riculum for their children,
with online, vocational and
other class options.
If Greenville High School
closed, most respondents
indicated that they would
either work hard to keep it
open or seek a local alterna-
tive.
Only six marked accep-
tance that their children
might be bused to another
community, and 22 were un-
sure what they would do.
Seven out of 10 people who
wrote in a comment under
the "other" heading men-
tioned that they would move
out of the county ompletely.
Others wanted more
accountability and stricter
reviews of faculty and the
availability of non-curricular
class options, like sports, art
and music.
There were 94 people who
wanted both traditional and
charter Options available,.
and 90 people wanted a
unified K - 12 option.
Only eight agreed they
would allow their children
to be bused out of the valley
to school, while 71 would
require busing so their
children could participate in
after-school activities, like
sports.
And 49 said their children
would be unable to .partici-
pate in after-school activities
at all if they were bused to
Quincy or Chester for school. •
There will be a joint meet-
ing of school closure and con-
solidation committees in the
Greenville schools cafeteria
Saturday, March 3, at 1:30
p.m.
They will report to each
other about their efforts and
talk about their commonali-
ties and how to communicate
with the district board when
their reports are due at the
regular meeting Wednesday,
March 28.
