Educational needs shall determine the plan and design of the schools. Therefore, the Superintendent or his/her designee shall develop comprehensive educational specifications for any projected facilities--whether built or altered, owned or leased, temporary or permanent--for consideration by the Board of Education.
The Board of Education needs the specifications to:
- Clarify and consolidate the thinking of the administration, the Board of Education, and the community on the needs, desires, and objectives of the educational program to be conducted within the proposed new facility;
- Organize this important information in a manner that can be easily and clearly interpreted by the architect.
In developing the specifications, the Superintendent or his/her designee shall draw on recommendations of citizens, professionals and support staff, pupils, and other appropriate sources. The factors on which the specifications are based shall include but not be limited to:
- The plan of school organization and estimated size and type of enrollment in the proposed facility;
- Provisions for the disabled;
- Space requirements for all functions, including an indication of relative locations of various spaces;
- Desired layout of special areas and the equipment needed for such areas;
- Mechanical features and special finishes desired;
- Standard codes and regulations (school district, community, county, and state) affecting planning;
- Pertinent budget and related factors.
- Other requirements under existing law and regulation;
