1. Building Configuration Presentation
Building Use Committee Meeting April 5, 2017

11. Possible scenarios: Presented in order of student disruption
Keep buildings as currently configured
Two Elementary Buildings, One Middle School and One High School

Middle School configuration changes to 5-8
High School configuration remains the same at 9-12
Three Elementary Buildings and One High School
Elementary configuration changes to K-6
High School configuration changes to 7-12

Two Elementary Buildings, One Middle School and One High School
- All current configurations stay the same
- Class size at elementary level = one teacher for same number of students throughout the day
- Class size at secondary level = not calculated using same formula at elementary level because students move through various classrooms throughout the day based on individual academic schedules/need. A room utilization and course limit formula is more appropriate at the secondary level; however, this will take more analysis to generate these figures.

13. Scenario 2 - Impact (not exhaustive lists)
Facility Impact:
One building left vacant (Springfield or Tinicum) or partially occupied (Durham Nockamixon) with District Office and Technology
Rental opportunities/ community use allowable by school code (shared in final slide) - possible permits required
Program Impact:
Minimal - no changes to grade configurations
Change in program delivery based on available faculty and space
Potential class size increase based on year of closure

Two elementary buildings, one middle school, and one high school
- Elementary K-4
- Middle School 5-8
- High School 9-12
- Class size at elementary level = one teacher for same number of students throughout the day
- Class size at secondary level = not calculated using same formula at elementary level because students move through various classrooms throughout the day based on individual academic schedules/need. A room utilization and course limit formula is more appropriate at the secondary level; however, this will take more analysis to generate these figures.

15. Scenario 3 - Impact (not exhaustive lists)
Facility Impact:
Refer to scenario 1
Middle school will need to restructure classroom spaces to accommodate 4-5, 5th grade classrooms
Program Impact:
Refer to scenario 1
Redesign 5th grade program
5th grade follows middle school arrival and departure schedule (5-12 on the same bus)
transitions into a middle school schedule (multiple teachers) or remains contained with one or two teachers
Teacher certification considerations

Three elementary buildings and one high school
- Elementary K-6
- High School 7-12
- Class size at elementary level = one teacher for same number of students throughout the day
- Class size at secondary level = not calculated using same formula at elementary level because students move through various classrooms throughout the day based on individual academic schedules/need. A room utilization and course limit formula is more appropriate at the secondary level; however, this will take more analysis to generate these figures.

17. Scenario 4 - Impact: (not even close to exhaustive lists)
Facility Impact:
One building left vacant (PALMS)
Rental opportunities - see previous scenarios
Over 95% capacity until
Room adjustments - smaller rooms will need to be utilized to accommodate this scenario
Athletic facility usage - gym and field usage (requires further analysis)
Program Impact:
Eliminates middle level approach to program delivery/scheduling
Significant increase in class size (7- 12) and reduction of course offerings due to room constraints
Full impact requires extensive further analysis

18. Potential Uses for Vacant/Unused Space
PA School Code:
Section 502. Additional Schools and Departments
Additional Schools and Departments.--In addition to the elementary public schools, the board of school directors in any school district may establish, equip, furnish, and maintain the following additional schools or departments for the education and recreation of persons residing in said district, and for the proper operation of its schools, namely:
