7110.01 - RELOCATABLE CLASSROOM POLICY
Concurrency legislation requires that the School District adopt, achieve, and maintain a Level of Service (LOS) Standard for its schools, based on a feasible five (5) year District Facilities Work Program as a component of its Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The School Board recognizes its duty to provide adequate classroom facilities for its students.
It is the intent of the Board to:
| A. | Reduce the use of relocatable classrooms District wide by maximizing the use of existing permanent facilities and constructing new permanent classrooms; | |
| B. | Limit the use of relocatable classrooms to instances in which they are necessary to comply with Class Size Amendment requirements until adequate funding is available to convert these relocatable classrooms to permanent classrooms; | |
| C. | Substantially reduce existing relocatable classrooms by according to a schedule that will be reviewed annually by the Board. The Board will prepare and adopt a plan which provides for the elimination of remaining relocatable classrooms as a long term means of achieving LOS standards; and | |
| D. | Use non-permanents for capacity considerations until school year 2018 at which time there will no longer be a need for them as classrooms. |
To encourage the reduction of relocatable classrooms and the construction of permanent classrooms, relocatable classrooms shall not be an acceptable form of mitigation used to satisfy the student demands created by new residential development. However, the Board reserves the right to use relocatable classrooms as an operational solution during replacement, renovation, remodeling, or expansion of a public school facility. In addition, the Board reserves the right to use relocatable classrooms to ensure the statutory obligation of class size reduction is being met and for any unforeseeable circumstances, such as natural disasters, which are beyond the Board's control.
