District proposes K–5 "Companion Schools" model; about 50 families may be reassigned
Summary
Administration proposed reorganizing K–5 into Companion Schools (K–2 and 3–5 splits), with K–2 at Pleasant Acres and Northview and 3–5 at Eastlawn and Broadmeadow; administration expects approximately 50 families may be reassigned and will present boundary changes at the March meeting.
Rantoul City School District 137 administration presented a revised K–5 organization recommendation to the board on Feb. 20, 2025: adopt a Companion Schools model that places kindergarten through second grade at Pleasant Acres and Northview and third through fifth grade at Eastlawn and Broadmeadow.
The agenda text says administration will bring a boundary-shift proposal at the March board meeting and anticipates that roughly 50 families currently assigned to Eastlawn or Pleasant Acres could be reassigned to Broadmeadow and Northview. The agenda also states that students living 1.5 miles or farther from their assigned school would be offered transportation services. The proposal is framed as a revision of a December 2024 recommendation intended to address family and staff concerns about transportation and other challenges; the agenda text does not record a board vote or final decision.
