II. DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM STANDARDS <br /> School facility and student capacity needs are dictated by the types and amounts of space required <br /> to accommodate the District's adopted educational program. The educational program standards <br /> which typically drive facility space needs include grade configuration, optimum facility size, class <br /> size, educational program offerings, classroom utilization and scheduling requirements, and use of <br /> relocatable classrooms (portables). <br /> In addition to student population, other factors such as collective bargaining agreements, <br /> government mandates and community expectations also affect classroom space requirements. <br /> Traditional educational programs are often supplemented by programs such as special education, <br /> bilingual education, preschool and daycare programs, computer labs, and music programs. These <br /> programs can have a significant impact on the available student capacity of school facilities. <br /> District-Wide Educational Program Standards <br /> Special programs offered by the District at specific school sites include, but are not limited to: <br /> • Advanced Placement (high school) • Family Support Center <br /> • Special Education Classes • Learning Support Center <br /> • Summer School • Friendship Room <br /> • Gifted and Talented Program • ECEAP <br /> • Transitional Bilingual Classes • Music Programs(elementary schools) <br /> • Foreign Language/Student Exchange • Computer Labs <br /> • Early Childhood Education • SUMMIT(grades 3-5) <br /> • Drug/Alcohol Counseling • MECI (Mukilteo Educational Clinics, <br /> • Transitional Learning Center Inc.) <br /> • Community Based Transition Program • CyberSchools (Nova Net Labs/Distance <br /> Peer and Cross Age Tutoring Learning) <br /> • D.A.R.E. (elementary and middle • Mukilteo Behavioral Support Center <br /> • schools) • Communication Classroom <br /> • TRIBES (cooperative skills) • Peer Helpers <br /> District educational program standards may change in the future as a result of various external or <br /> internal changes. External changes may include mandates and needs for special programs, or use <br /> of technology. Internal changes may include modifications to the program year, class sizes, and <br /> grade span configurations. Changes in physical aspects of the school facilities could also affect <br /> educational program standards. The school capacity inventory will be reviewed periodically and <br /> adjusted for any changes to the educational program standards. These changes will also be <br /> reflected in future updates of this CFP. <br /> - 6 - <br />
