Determining School Needs

- Number, type, and residence of the students to be accommodated.
- Educational goals, and the resulting curriculum, extracurricular activities, auxiliary services, and administrative services required.
- Nonschool use of school facilities.
Full Capacity Use of Facilities
To protect the large investment in buildings made by the taxpayers of the School District, the Board, through the Superintendent, shall aim towards full capacity use of its facilities by the following methods:
- Using foresight in locating and planning school buildings and in setting attendance area boundaries.
- Designing special areas and equipment for as extensive use as possible.
- Perpetual study of room use and pupil-station use as compared with the capacity of each.
- Adequate programming of classes and teacher time.
- Making school buildings available to the patrons of the District to the greatest extent possible within established regulations made for the protection of the interests and property of the District.

- Acquisition or improvement of sites.
- Building of new structures or additions, or the alteration of or addition to old structures.
- Purchase and replacement of furniture and equipment for old or new structures.
