CALAgRO <br /> Educational Planner <br /> 235 Pond ;Street Cohasaet, MA 02025 617-383-0992 office & fax <br /> April 281 1994 <br /> To: Fellow School Planners <br /> Mashpee High School Project <br /> Mashpee, Massachusetts <br /> It is very satisfying to see the revision of the <br /> educational specifications for the new Mashpee High School <br /> moving toward their ultimate form within established <br /> limitations as a result of our joint discussions. <br /> I have several observations on the discussions to date. <br /> 1. The educational program for 1180 students in the <br /> thirty-five period academic week calls for 34 general <br /> classrooms at 80 percent utilization or 32 general classrooms <br /> at 85 percent. (See the educational program table in the <br /> February 3, 1994, educational specifications document. ) <br /> Thirty-one such classrooms places the utilization factor at <br /> 86. 9 or 87 percent. The original planning standard was 80 <br /> percent. : <br /> 2 . Similarly, the educational program as established calls <br /> for 9 science/lab spaces at a utilization rate of 80. percent. <br /> Eight such science spaces raises the utilization factor to <br /> 87. 75 percent. The original planning standard was 80 percent. <br /> 3. A suggestion has been made to use the large group , <br /> instruction room as a scheduled teaching station to supplant <br /> deleted general classrooms. Such use would defeat its <br /> intended purpose and would nullify its use as a support space <br /> available school-wide for flexible programming. If the space <br /> is actually used as a regularly scheduled teaching station, <br /> it is' very likely that it will eventually become the location <br /> for supervised study halls and in-house suspensions, as its <br /> size, and the need for only a single teacher/supervisor, <br /> invite such usage. <br /> i <br /> -1- i <br />
