School facility and student capacity needs are dictated by the types and amounts of space <br />required to accommodate the District's adopted educational program. The educational program <br />standards that typically drive facility space needs include grade configuration, optimum facility <br />size, class size, educational program offerings, classroom utilization and scheduling <br />requirements, and use of 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. <br />These programs can have a significant impact on the available student capacity of school <br />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) <br />• Special Education (resource or specialized) <br />• Special Education (early childhood <br />education) <br />• Summer School <br />• Gifted & Talented Program including <br />Summit (grades 3-8) <br />• English as a Second Language (ESL) <br />• Elementary ELL Sheltering classes <br />• World Languages <br />• Drug/Alcohol Counseling <br />• Community Based Transition Program <br />• ECEAP <br />• Music Programs <br />• Computer & Technology Labs <br />• Library/Media Centers <br />• Speech Language Pathologists <br />Office/Therapy Room <br />• Performing Arts <br />• Health & Fitness <br />• Science Labs (earth, life, physical) <br />• OT/PT <br />• Career Centers (High School) <br />• Family & Consumer Science Labs (High <br />School) <br />• Student Stores (High School) <br />• Learning Assistance Programs <br />• Mukilteo Behavioral Support Center <br />• Career and Technical Labs <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 />on <br />
