Summary: In preparation for the opening of Liberty High School scheduled for the 2021-2022 school year, the high school attendance boundaries in the attached Exhibit No. 1 are being recommended. The proposed boundaries have been developed through careful review and analysis of past, current and projected enrollment patterns throughout the District, as well as close consultation with the County of Riverside, City of Menifee, City of Perris and City of Murrieta planning departments to identify and analyze likely future enrollment trends due to projected development activity over the next ten years. These boundaries were initially presented to the Board of Trustees at its November 13, 2019 Facilities Study Session.

A Public Hearing was conducted on December 18, 2019 to provide opportunities for the District’s constituents to provide input relative to the proposed boundaries. As a result of the input received at the Public Hearing, a Special Board Meeting was conducted on January 9, 2019 to discuss three additional boundary alternatives and the resulting enrollment implications. Exhibits No. 2-4 reflect these three additional alternatives.

Continued utilization of the “open enrollment policy” in which a student may choose to attend a school outside of his/her attendance area if space is available and if the student provides his/her transportation from home to the school of choice is recommended with the attendance boundaries in the attached exhibit. Alternatives expanding the Liberty High School attendance boundary will not allow for the “open enrollment policy” to be utilized.

Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees receive additional boundary alternative information and, after review and discussion, approve the high school attendance boundaries to be implemented for the 2021-2022 school year with the opening of Liberty High School.
