Agenda Item Summary:

The High School Educational Specifications are being presented with clarification as to the utilization of the proposed building.

Background:

On Thursday, June 16, 2016, ACPS staff presented the educational specifications (Ed. Specs.) for a high school and pre-k center to the School Board. Following the presentation of the Ed. Specs., ACPS compiled comments from the School Board as well as other interested parties who have provided feedback on the Ed. Specs. The High School Ed. Specs. were presented to the School Board on July 5, 2016. At that time, the School Board requested that staff research the utilization at the High School to see if it is better to have every teacher assigned to a classroom.

Recommendation:

The Superintendent recommends that the School Board approve the High School Ed. Specs.
