spaces. <br /> The pool is still the element causing the sq footage to exceed the <br /> parameters. This issue will have to be dealt with in the not to distant <br /> future. Dr. Collabro said not to let it get in the way of establishing <br /> space needed for the educational program. <br /> It was his understanding the DOE said they would support the pool within <br /> the parameters, but he wants to see that it writing. <br /> The present draft, gross sq footage with the pool is 188, 538. It is off by <br /> about 5 , 500. <br /> Dr. Collabro reminded the Committee they are working against a dollar <br /> figure as well . <br /> Bill Martiros asked if 2 gyms is better than 1 large gym with split use? <br /> Dr. Collabro said it is written for 2 double gyms , so there is separate <br /> space for practice with games going on. He does not think there will be <br /> added expense because if you need 4 stations, with equipment and staff, <br /> whether there is a solid wall dividing it or not will not impact on the <br /> cost. <br /> Dr. Collabro said the State used the enrollment numbers from the town <br /> planner and took the mid point of the high and low projections . He does <br /> not know which figures they looked at. <br /> Peter asked if this is accepted practice or are they trying this on <br /> Mashpee? <br /> Dr. Collabro said it seems to him they are trying to justify arriving at a <br /> decision that will allow Mashpee to build the most school they could . They <br /> tried to get as close to the 1350 as they could . He believes it was a <br /> compromise. <br /> Peter asked if it was a political decision? <br /> Dr. Collabro said he does know that a lot of people called them with <br /> concerns. They said they were going to get 3rd party projections . <br /> Tom Fudala said he thinks they used his December 1992 projections, they <br /> used the mid point of the year 2 , 000 for grades 7-12 . The mid point of <br /> high and low for his December 1993 figures would be 1210 students. <br /> Paul asked if it makes sense for the town planner to write a letter back to <br /> them with this information? <br /> Dr. Collabro said it's a difference of 30 people, 1 classroom. You could <br /> address a letter, giving them these more recent projections, showing the <br /> mid point of these figures is 1210 and asking they give that consideration. <br /> A lot would depend on the way the letter was written, it should be a nice, <br /> easy tone . <br /> Paul said these figures are based on 7-12 , reimbursement for sq footage and <br /> for dollars are a lot different for younger grades . The State , giving us <br /> full reimbursement , is a bonus. <br /> Paul asked if we would build a school for 1 , 180 or for 1 , 000? We could <br /> build the core at 1 , 200 with classrooms for 1 , 000 and build the wing in the <br /> future if we need it. <br /> Dr . Collabro said you will get reimbursed for 1180 students, that will bring <br /> 5 <br />
