Dr. DeMoura said that is where they differ . For example, Indian Education <br /> will have some classes , but will not be scheduled 80%, it is an elective. <br /> There are other rooms that will not be used at 80%. <br /> Ed Frenette said they are trying to tighten up the program now, as Ian <br /> suggested , because there is less anxiety doing it now than in the next <br /> phase. <br /> Dr. Calabro noted his original program had 33 classrooms plus Indian Ed , <br /> now there are 31 . <br /> Dr. DeMoura noted a lot of the added space is for community use . <br /> Ray Bordwell asked where the 155 sq feet per student comes from? <br /> Dr. Calabro explained it came from a 1976 study , based on a number of <br /> schools. Since then , the State has made several allowances to go above <br /> that, for example , guidance doesn ' t count towards that nor does special ed , <br /> there is a community use allowance . <br /> Ed Frenette summed up that there are 3 parameters to meet : <br /> - $151 . 80 per sq foot <br /> - 155 sq feet allotted per student <br /> $28. 7 town meeting maximum approved . They all have to be put in the pot, <br /> but the lowest one governs . <br /> Special Education : Dr . DeMoura said it should not be considered a teaching <br /> station , it is planned for a pull out program. <br /> Merry Sue noted that they need storage space - 2 at 35 sq feet. <br /> ** The Committee agreed to add storage space to two special ed rooms .* <br /> Team Rooms - do they need 2 team rooms for boys and 2 for girls? They are <br /> nice to have but they are a luxury . <br /> Large group classroom: Dr . DeMoura feels if something has to go, he would <br /> suggest that. <br /> Dr. Calabro suggested this room will probably hold study halls, in house <br /> suspensions . Where will they go if this room is not available? <br /> Dr. DeMoura said they will be trying to reduce study hall time. <br /> Ray said with these changes , we are down .1 , 000 sq feet. Do we want to put <br /> in another classroom? If we did , there would be 16 classrooms in each house <br /> and collaborative room would be moved to the exterior of the houses . <br /> **The Committee agreed to reduce the program to 1 each male and female <br /> team rooms and add 1 extra classroom. ** <br /> Steve said it would be a mistake to separate the Indian Education out of 1 <br /> of the houses , in should be included so there is no perception of <br /> separation . <br /> Dr. DeMoura suggested checking with the Tribal Council for their views on <br /> this subject. He explained the Indian Education program will be an <br /> elective, open to everyone at the high school level . <br /> =d Frenette understands there needs to be a feeling of inclusion , it will <br /> be a design issue on how they accomplish that. <br /> This additional classroom will be labelled "general classroom" . <br /> With the change there are 32 classrooms , plus Indian Ed , plus 2 health <br /> 7 <br />
