Building Configuration Presentation Building Use Committee Meeting April 5, 2017

Possible scenarios: Presented in order of student disruption Keep buildings as currently configured Two Elementary Buildings, One Middle School and One High School All current grade level configurations stay the same Elementary configuration changes to K-4 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

Scenario 2 Elementary Building 1 (48% of Total) Elementary Building 2 (52% of Total) Middle School High School # of Classrooms 14 15 26 31 Max Capacity 350 375 650 775 2016-2017 Actual 288 313 402 610 % Capacity 82.29% 83.47% 61.85% 78.71% Avg Class Size 21 ---- 2018-2019 Projection 269 291 333 589 76.86% 77.60% 51.23% 76.00% 19 2019-2020 Projection 252 274 329 546 72.00% 73.07% 50.62% 70.45% 18 2020-2021 Projection 246 267 310 516 70.29% 71.20% 47.69% 66.58% 2021-2022 Projection 240 259 307 453 68.57% 69.07% 47.23% 58.45% 17 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.

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

Scenario 3 Elementary Building 1 (48% of Total) Middle School High School # of Classrooms 14 15 26 31 Max Capacity 350 375 650 775 2016-2017 Actual 247 267 516 610 % Capacity 70.57% 71.20% 79.38% 78.71% Avg Class Size 18 ---- 2018-2019 Projection 213 230 450 589 60.86% 61.33% 69.23% 76.00% 2019-2020 Projection 207 224 424 546 59.14% 59.73% 65.23% 70.45% 2020-2021 Projection 201 217 405 57.43% 57.87% 62.31% 66.58% 2021-2022 Projection 194 211 401 453 55.43% 56.27% 61.69% 58.45% 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.

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

Scenario 4 Elementary Building 1 (32.6% of Totals) High School # of Classrooms 14 15 31 Max Capacity 350 375 775 2016-2017 Actual 235 252 891 % Capacity 67.14% 67.20% 114.97% Avg Class Size 17 ---- 2018-2019 Projection 214 230 824 61.14% 61.33% 106.32% 2019-2020 Projection 209 224 758 59.71% 59.73% 97.81% 2020-2021 Projection 198 212 731 56.57% 56.53% 94.32% 2021-2022 Projection 193 207 665 55.14% 55.20% 85.81% 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.

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 2020-2021 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

Potential Uses for Vacant/Unused Space PA School Code: Section 502.
