Board Meeting Minutes November 8, 2016 2
AUDIENCE COMMENTS Mr. Lehrman explained that questions and comments are welcome after each report pertaining to the topic covered at that time. He then opened the floor for comments on any other topics. There were no audience comments. COMMUNICATIONS Dr. Richardson reported that he would be visiting teachers and staff at McGee Elementary tomorrow. He also shared how inspired he was by our students who led the flag salute and is proud of our student’s commitment to community and civic duty. Mrs. Phillips attended Markham Elementary’ s Veterans Day assembly and was impressed with students who had learned all five songs related to the various branches of service. Teachers did a great job teaching students something that they will carry forward in their lives. She will also be attending Livingston’s Veterans Day program tomorrow as we honor those who did so much for our country. Mr. Naef participated in the CHS Jazz Solo Night where students are given the opportunity to choose their own style of music. He also shared that the CHS Soccer team is competing at the state level tonight. He will share the outcome at the next meeting. He attended the stakeholders meeting last night where a lot of community and staff were excited about helping with the outcomes of the district and what we are trying to improve on as a district. He also participated in a mock interview at CHS where a lot of community and staff came together to interview students. For many, this was a first time interview and was a great experience for all those involved. Mr. Mendoza reported that a lot has happened over the past couple of weeks. New Horizons High School had their Harvest Fest which was better attended than in past years and the little kids had a lot of fun. He also attended the stakeholder meeting and enjoyed hearing “100% will succeed” instead of a lower number. He believes that is a great goal to have. He reported that he is looking forward to Career Day. Ms. Lace reported that the Pasco High School Homecoming Dance was a success and well attended with over 600 tickets sold. She had hoped for a better turnout for the homecoming parade but thought it was great. PHS had a Career Day where students attended different sessions with speakers from all over the state from lots of different professions who talked about what they do and shared their stories on how to get there. She attended the stakeholder meeting Monday night and stated that it was great to work together and talk about what we think would be the best ways for us to reach our goals. We had an opportunity to come together at the end of the session to decide which ideas to focus on. Mr. Christensen attended a forum for the board members in our director district to discuss solutions for solving school funding issues. There were participants from Pasco, Kennewick and Richland school districts as well as a couple of smaller districts. They talked about some of the disparity of pay to teachers and the possibility of relaxing some of the certification requirements so teachers can be certified in our state more easily. He is in hopes that they continue to gather to talk about issues that all districts face. Mr. Lehrman and his family attended the State Cross Country competition this past weekend and he commented on the many great athletes and their efforts. He also acknowledged district employees and community members who volunteer their time and efforts for this event. His kids were very excited

to see what cross country runners do. He attended the showing of “Paper Tigers” that built on the presentation that Mr. Bolz gave last meeting on adverse childhood experiences. The film was shot in Walla Walla and they talked about an alternative school much like NHHS. It focused on understanding what is behind behavioral issues and treating the students with respect and compassion instead of kicking them out of school. He suggested that it may be available on iTunes. Mr. Lehman reported that most of the board would be attending the WSSDA Annual Conference November 17-19, 2016 in Spokane, WA. This is an opportunity for the board to get continuing education on a lot of the topics the board has been discussing; goals on student achievement, facilities, superintendent evaluation, collective bargaining, etc. Board members can attend several workshops that impact our community and school district. Our student representatives will also be attending and will report on what they have learned. He also expressed his appreciation for the audience attendance on this election night and committed to keeping the meeting on track. Mrs. Whitney thanked those who participated in the Stakeholder meeting Monday, November 7th. It was the first of that kind of meeting and staff, teachers and community members were engaged and worked collaboratively for about two and half hours and got lots of work done. They will continue this process over time and eventually layer on the budget process. There will be another opportunity November 9th with the same content for Spanish speakers and dinner will be served. Next Tuesday is VIP Day at Angelou Elementary from 9 AM to noon. Please email Mrs. Whitney directly if you would like to participate. It is a fun opportunity for patrons/VIP’s to shadow a student for the day. She also announced that Chiawana High School is performing Diary of Ann Frank November 10th and 12th in the CHS Blackbox at 7:00 PM. Mrs. Whitney thanked those involved in the cross country meet, including Kyle Tilly who took care of all the audio for the day, stating that the level of professionalism in this event is extraordinary. She encouraged people to attend as it is truly an inspiration. REPORTS/DISCUSSION Technology Plan Update – Mr. Garrett and Ms. Nelson provided a brief overview of the district’s 2016-19 Technology Plan; including, the process used to develop the plan, the format of the plan, and some initiatives within the plan. The full Technology Plan can be viewed on the Information Systems webpage below. http://www.psd1.org/cms/lib4/WA01001055/Centricity/Domain/1015/2016-19%20Pasco%20Technology%20Roadmap%20062716.pdf The district’s Technology Plan expired at the end of last year. Requirements of the federal E-Rate program used to drive the format and content of school district technology plans so, historically, the district’s technology plan has been primarily infrastructure focused. The E-Rate requirements around technology plans no longer exist, which created an opportunity to take a new approach to the technology planning process. Instructional and operational staff worked last year to create a collaborative plan that will guide their work for the next three years. Special Education Round Table Follow-up – Ms. Wilson provided an update on the special education community round table discussion outcomes from the October 6, 2016 workgroup where they met to identify key components needed for meaningful parent participation for families with children with disabilities. An overview of the recommendations, implementation, action items completed, and next steps were provided.
Board Meeting Minutes November 8, 2016 4
ACTION ITEMS Board Legislative Positions – Mr. Christensen led the discussion around the review and approval of Pasco School District Board of Directors 2017 legislative priorities as discussed with Marie Sullivan, Legislative Advocate. On November 24, 2015, Mr. Christensen presented Pasco School District Board of Directors’ 2015 Legislative Priorities. After discussion it was determined that funding for a Pre-K Facility legislative priority would be put forward at that time and the others would be discussed at a later date. On October 25, 2016, Mr. Steve Christensen, Pasco School Board Legislative Representative, and Ms. Marie Sullivan, Legislative Advocate, facilitated a study session for the purpose of identifying the Pasco School District Board of Directors’ 2017 Legislative Priorities. Based on the October 25th study session the following positions were proposed:
DRAFT Guiding Positions for 2017 Legislative Session (new or substantively changed positions at 10/25/16 study session in italics)
The Pasco School Board of Directors supports legislation that:
1. Reduces reliance on using local levies to pay the cost of salaries and benefits for K-12 school employees engaged in Basic Education activities. The Board also:
Supports a compensation system that includes a state-funded regional pay factor; and Supports an education system that attracts and retains quality teachers, and removes
obstacles to teacher certification and specialty endorsements.
2. Creates transparency in bargaining and increases public access to public employee labor negotiations.
3. Updates school construction assistance programs, including:
Fully funding the cost of construction for new classrooms and schools to meet statutorily required class size reduction targets
Funding the actual costs of constructing schools for projects matched by the School Construction Assistance Program;
Increasing the per student space allocation to support 21st century student learning needs.
4. Decreases the bond approval percentage from 60 percent to simple majority for bond measures offered at the November general election.
5. Holds school districts harmless and provides sufficient funding to school districts when the Legislature changes the levy base, levy lid, local effort assistance, and use of local levies.
6. Fully funds time and training costs for up to 80 hours of annual state or district-
directed/approved professional development, and classroom preparation time for each state-funded certificated classroom teacher and classified instructional staff.
7. Allows siting of schools outside Urban Growth Area boundaries under specific conditions
negotiated with the city and county in which the district is located.
Board Meeting Minutes November 8, 2016 5
8. Encourages state standards and guidelines for processing public records requests, including methods to collect for the actual cost of responding to public records requests electronically.
9. Streamlines the state assessment system and removes state-mandated tests as a graduation
requirement.
10. Increases access to early learning, including: Authorizing a new grant program for the construction of early learning facilities; Increasing the number of ECEAP slots, with students who will be attending high-poverty
schools prioritized to receive the new slots; Creating an option of funding summer ECEAP to take advantage of existing school
facilities; and Preserving flexibility in ECEAP funds to meet the needs of students and families in each
district, including allowing half-day ECEAP and the option of attending class up to five days a week.
11. Provides broad-based support and partnership opportunities for evidence-based “Birth to 9”
initiatives, including extended school learning opportunities for high-poverty children.
12. Considers revenue options to fund basic education, and makes changes to education requirements that reduce state and local costs associated with requirements that don’t improve student achievement. For example, eliminating state-required assessments as a graduation requirement.
13. Funds or removes unfunded state initiatives, such as recently enacted student attendance and discipline requirements, and allows more district flexibility and choice to use evidence-based practices such as PBIS or interventions in lieu of suspensions and expulsions.
The Board retains its opposition to legislation that imposes new requirements on the district without also providing adequate funding and staff to meet the new requirement.

Franklin County requires jurisdictions placing measures on the ballot to appoint members to pro and con committees who are willing to write statements for the County’s voters’ guide.
An invitation to submit applications was posted on the District’s website and advertised in the Tri City Herald. Committee appointments are limited to three persons for each position. Absent any guidance from the County on criteria for appointment, the District has generally appointed the first three applicants for each position. Accordingly, the below names are those who responded first to the invitation to submit:
Committee Advocating Approval (Pro): Emily Maloney, Jamie Southworth, Michelle Simon
Committee Advocating Rejection (Con): Roger Lenk, Pamela Follansbee, Maria Smith
A fourth applicant submitted his name for the con committee, but the name was received last and, therefore, is not being submitted for appointment by the board.

REPORT
1ST READING DISCUSSION 2ND READING ACTION REQUIRED
OBJECTIVE:
To obtain board approval of the Value Engineering Recommendations accepted for Elementary #16.
BACKGROUND: (Pertinent past action/events) Value engineering is a requirement for school districts when a district applies to receive state matching funds on a school construction project. The school district employed a third party engineering firm, Meng Analysis, whose task was to investigate and recommend potential cost savings in mechanical, electrical, structural, and site design. A number of suggestions were proposed. Some were accepted, some accepted with modifications and others rejected as not meeting current district standards for material and construction. Most savings were found in site design. The value engineering team listed 20 proposed items. Four (4) proposals were accepted. Five (5) proposals were accepted with modifications. Eleven (11) proposals were rejected. Those proposals accepted or accepted with modifications provide a cost savings estimated to be $175,000 to $245,000 in cost avoidance. Actual projected cost savings will be better defined as construction drawings are refined to 100% complete.

Re: Elementary School #16Value Engineering Implementation Response
Dear Kim,
The design team has reviewed the Value Engineering study, including the 20 specific proposal items regarding design or value improvements derived by the Meng Analysis professional team. The study process and value engineering overview was productive. The suggestions and alternates researched by the Meng Analysis team were well considered and thought provoking.
The process resulted in 4 proposals being accepted as presented by the value analysis team, 5 proposals to be modified as proposed, and the remaining proposals being rejected. We estimate that the 4 accepted proposals equate to a construction cost savings of roughly $75,000. We estimate that the 5 modified proposal items will provide a construction cost savings ranging from $100,000 to $170,000. The presentation of proposals and dialogue process allows for the efficient implementation of the values engineering team’s recommendations towards the New Elementary School #16.
Thank you for your time and effort in this matter. The school district’s input and participation in the process is in part the reason for a successful conclusion to this analysis study. We trust that this proposed implementation plan will be acceptable, so that we might proceed with our work. We recommend approving the attached implementation plan document. If you have any questions, or would like to meet to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Matt Whitish, AIAProject Architect

PROPOSAL COMMENTS / DISCUSSION
C1 Fire Lane - Reconfiguration 52,000 X 52,000
The fire lanes will be eliminated from the turf playfield areas. Playground equipment will be positioned to allow the required fire lanes to be located within the
asphalt playground areas.
C2 Grading - Area NE 16,000 X N/A The bus lane will be re-routed further north, similar to what was proposed in "P1", which will provide additional turf playfield space requiring grading.
C3 Grading - Area SE 16,000 X N/A Grading along the south side of the site will be dictated by Massey Drive. We anticipate limited grading in this area to blend in with the new road.
C4 Pedestrian Paving - Reduction 24,000 X 20,000
The reduction of pedestrian concrete paving will be taken, but not to the full extent of the proposal. Concrete is preferred at the bike rack area for aesthetic
reasons at the front of the building. All other suggestions in this proposal will be pursued.
C5 Storm Drain 70,000 X N/A
Infiltration galleries are preferred by the school district and design team. Where possible, we will avoid placing infiltration galleries under paving as suggested in
the proposal.
L1 Landscape - Sod 121,000 X 60,000
Hydroseed in lieu of sod at the south end of the playfields will be considered as an Alternate. Sod is preferred at the front of the school and east of the asphalt
playground. 1/2 of the proposed savings is expected.
L2 Landscape - Areas 77,000 X 40,000
Reduction of turf will be investigated. Rock mulch and plantings will be added to select areas, although they may not correspond exactly with where suggested in
the proposal. 1/2 of the savings is anticipated.
A1 Exterior Enclosure - Finish 178,000 X 50,000
Reduction of masonry will be investigated above the 2nd floor windows. Rather than fiber cement board as proposed, the team will consider metal panels at this
location.
P1 Site Usage 422,000 X 0 As proposed, the bus lane will be shifted north to provide more useable playfield space. Development of residential lots will not be pursued by the school district.
P2 STEM Program - Configuration NIC (202,000) X N/A
Operable walls or double doors connecting classrooms is not desired by the school district. A need for a Maker Space was not presented during Educations
Specifications and will not be pursued on this project, although it may be considered on future projects if this prototype design is utilized again.
R1 Reduce number of parking stalls by 1/2 19,000 X N/A
The configuration of the school, bus drive, and north parking lot allows for additional parking beyond the minimum requirements. The additional parking stalls
are preferred by the school district over additional landscaping.
R2 Bus loop in lieu of drive through 14,000 X N/A
Following the model of the first prototype, ES #13, the school district preferres the drive through to reduce traffic and congestion. The school district has
received positive feedback from PSD staff at ES #13 where the configuration is similar.
R3 Balance site grading to 40,000 CY Cut/Fill 0 X 0 The site will be designed to avoid import or export of grading material.
R4 Reduce cost of Chiller Enclosure 50% 29,000 X N/A
The chiller enclosure will match the previous prototype design. Walls around the enclosure are just tall enough to hide the unit and spaced far enough apart to
provide the needed working clearances around the unit.
R5 Reduce size of irrigation booster building 23,000 X 23,000 The irrigation booster building will be designed as small as necessary to contain the pump.
R6 Cementous plank siding in lieu of metal panels 18,000 X N/A Metal panels are preferred by the School District and Design Team for their appearance, long term durability, and minimal maintenance.
R7 Reduce quantity of gypsum ceilings, use more ACT 41,000 X N/A GWB ceilings only occur at restrooms, vestibules, and miscellaneous soffits and are preferred at these locations over ACT.
R8 Reduce quantity of casework 20% 116,000 X N/A The quantity of casework provided has been fully utilized at the previous prototypes and is preferred to remain.

OBJECTIVE: To obtain board approval for Change Order No. 4 with Fowler General Construction for the Pasco High School Phase III Project.
BACKGROUND: (Pertinent past action/events) Change Order No. 4 consists of two (2) construction change directives (CCDs). Two were for unforeseen conditions. $7,925.69 State and Local Tax $681.61 Total $8,607.30 CCD #1 During demolition an undiscovered abandoned steam tunnel was uncovered. The steam tunnel required filling with crushed gravel to accept an altered footing and foundation. CCD #2 The new science room fume hoods each require a master solenoid valve tree that controls availability of gas and compressed air to the hood. In two science room locations the solenoid valve assemblies required the creation of an 8” wall cavity to accept the solenoid dimensions. Previously approved change orders No.1, 2 and 3 along with change order No. 4 represent a 1.9% increase in the cost of the project.

INTRODUCTION
These educational specifications are a set of concisely written, organized objectives that
describe the educational facility needs of students, educators, and the community. They
collectively outline what these groups want to achieve for students, educators, the
community, and their activities and relationships. This document serves as a written
communication between educators and the design professionals. The development of the
educational specifications is only the first set of specifications and the first in a series of
communications. Design specifications and construction specifications follow. Therefore,
diagrams in this document are for illustration purposes only. Additional interpretation will
be made by the design architect. Further, these educational specifications are prepared
as a “guiding document” and not a “trapping document.” The owner can expect minor
variations in the design as professional architects and engineers translate this information
into schematic design and construction documents.
Pasco Pre-K Center - Educational Specifications
Page 1-1
1.0 COMMUNITY INFORMATION
1.1 Community Information
The Pasco School District is located in Franklin County, Washington, with its offices in the City of Pasco. Pasco sits on the north side of the Columbia River and is one of the Tri-Cities of Washington. The Tri-Cities is the largest population center in southeast Washington. The population of Pasco is nearly 70,000, and has an area of approximately 30 square miles. The area’s economy is largely dependent on agricultural production, processing, and distribution. There is a plentiful water supply for the many cash crops. Wheat is the most prevalent of these crops, although apples, corn and potatoes are also grown. Grapes are also grown in the Columbia Valley which is the second largest wine-producing region in America. Another large employer in the area is the Hanford nuclear facility. Many skilled professionals are employed by the site, which has now gone from producing weapons to working on the disposal of nuclear waste. Pasco’s climate has pleasantly warm and dry summers, having average monthly temperatures in July around 91 degrees F. Winters are mild to chilly, with the monthly January low of around 27 degrees.
1.2 School District Information
The Pasco School District is a PK-12 school district. It is governed by an elected school board with five members. The board hires a superintendent to serve as their chief executive officer. The educational programs are offered in the following schools: (1) fifteen K-5 elementary schools, (2) three middle schools, (3) two high schools, (4) one alternative school, and (5) one STEM high school.
1.2.1 Goals Statement
The activities of the District are guided by its Goals Statement:
The district shall provide an equal opportunity for every student to receive an education which will enable each to fulfill his or her optimum role in society, commensurate with individual ability, in compliance with legal requirements and reflecting the desires of the people.
The instructional programs, methods and resources shall meet the needs of each individual student, regardless of race, color, caste, sex, or level of ability. The district recognizes that equal opportunity education does not imply uniformity and that each student’s unique characteristics must be acknowledged.
Pasco Pre-K Center - Educational Specifications
Page 1-2
The instructional programs, methods and materials shall not imply, teach or encourage any beliefs or practices reflecting bias or discrimination toward other individuals or groups and shall not deny others their basic human rights.
1.3 Enrollment
Although there are no official projections for the Pasco School District Pre-K program, the District has concluded that the maximum number of students that will receive services under the current instructional model is approximately 280 students that attend on a half day basis (140 a.m. and 140 p.m.).
1.4 Project Rationale
The Pasco School District emphasizes early childhood education in its programs. They have been offering services to children aged 0-5 for some time. Recently, however, a facility became available from the City of Pasco that will serve as a pre-kindergarten (Pre-K) center. This facility has served as a senior center and will require renovations to be functionally adequate for the Pre-K Program.
1.5 Site Considerations
The site for this project, although somewhat smaller than ideal, is relatively flat with all wet and dry utilities currently present. This site will accommodate the proposed new school. Prevailing winds are from the west and northwest. In winter, there are often cold winds that present freezing conditions to exposed portions of school buildings. The positions and orientation of the fields should take advantage of any wind protection available from proposed buildings. Despite a milder local climate, some snow and ice accumulations may be expected occasionally. Efforts should be made to reduce snow accumulations in those areas subject to the high winds. The site will be served by local water and sewer systems. Solid waste removal will be provided through local agencies and local utility companies provide electricity and Internet access. This project may cause increases in automobile and pedestrian traffic. The site will be served by local fire and police services.
1.5.1 Grounds
At the time of the writing of these educational specifications, specific site improvement requirements could not be determined. At a minimum the new facility should include:
• A large hard surface for tricycles and may include a “loop” or “circuit” for young riders
• Age-appropriate playground equipment and areas for both younger and older Pre-K students
Pasco Pre-K Center - Educational Specifications
Page 1-3
• The play area should be fenced (approximately six feet high). • Outside storage for tricycles.
The State of Washington requires that a flag pole be provided near the front of the building. The existing flagpole may be used if it is in serviceable condition. A bicycle rack for staff, capacity to be determined during the design process, should be considered in front of the school and visible from the office.
The district should consider an automatic underground irrigation system for landscape and field areas as budget allows.
Pasco Pre-K Center - Educational Specifications
Page 2-1
2.0 GENERAL BUILDING CONSIDERATIONS
These general design considerations are applicable to each program area unless otherwise specified or noted in this document. Other notes or specifications in this document may be more detailed, restrictive, or stringent in requirements than those noted in this chapter, in which case the more restrictive requirement applies.
2.1 CIRCULATION
The design of foyers, corridors, and the multipurpose room should allow as much visibility as possible for supervising these spaces with a minimum number of staff members. The number of “blind spots” in the building should be minimized. Access to all building areas and the site need to meet the needs of the disabled and the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The main entry area should be clearly marked and visible to a first time visitor. It should be open and inviting with ample display areas for student work and achievements. Main entry floor areas need to be a durable surface (ceramic, vinyl composition tile, or equivalent). The outside of the main entry area should be covered to protect those arriving or exiting from inclement weather. Corridor floor surfaces should be hard surface for ease of cleaning. The building entry should have a series of mats that “progressively scrub” the feet of those entering the building. The main foyer and the corridors need to have higher lighting levels than typically specified in classrooms. 2.2 VEHICLE ACCESS AND PARKING
The school should have a main parent drop-off zone located near the “front” of the building and near the main administration area. No driveway approaching the school should be designed to allow a vehicle to accelerate into the building (i.e. no long, straight roadways). Efforts should be made to prevent automobile crossing traffic in this area. The bus-loading zone should be separated from all other traffic (parent, staff, and visitors) and should have parking space for five full-sized buses. Buses will park heel-to-toe along a loading zone (curb). The design team should study options for safe bus loading and unloading within the existing site constraints. If bus loops are used, there should be a sufficient turning radius, as determined during the design process, for the largest buses. All driveways and drop-off zones should be fully paved and curbed with appropriate handicapped access curb cuts. Bus lanes shall be designed to accommodate the heavy loads associated with such vehicles. There should be at least 50 spaces for staff parking plus additional visitor parking near the main entrance but away from bus traffic and bus parking. The number of visitor and handicapped parking spaces should be calculated and placed per law. Three parking spaces are needed in the kitchen/delivery area for kitchen, custodial and maintenance staff. All parking areas shall be fully paved and curbed with appropriate handicapped access curb cuts. All parking lots shall have painted parking stripes.
Pasco Pre-K Center - Educational Specifications
Page 2-2
The service area shall be screened and located on the site to minimize its effect on the surrounding properties and other on-site facilities. There shall be space for a dumpster adjacent to the kitchen with easy access for the trash hauling equipment. A loading area shall be located at the kitchen delivery area. Spaces for recycling containers shall be provided. All parking and driveway areas shall be provided with signs that clearly indicate traffic flow and parking requirements (e.g., BUS TRAFFIC ONLY, FIRE LANE, LOADING ZONE, VISITOR PARKING, etc.). Student routes to fields should not cross service or other access driveways. Access walkways to all parking lots shall be clearly marked and sized for maximum use. Bollards may be used where practical but shall be minimized. Parking lot lighting shall be installed as appropriate. 2.3 BUILDING SECURITY AND SAFETY
The design of the school should contribute to the safety and security of its occupants. A bright, clean, orderly environment encourages students to keep it that way. The school design should contribute significantly to a clean, but not sterile, climate. The following information is recommended to be incorporated into the plan as it is developed. The design of the facility should prevent unauthorized or illegal entry and contribute to security. A fully programmable, IP-based “card-lock” locking system should be used on exterior doors. The card-lock system should have a notification feature when an exterior door is ajar. There should be a “lock down” button in the office area. The main entrance security system should have a “buzz in” button from the office to allow visitors to enter. In addition, the building should have an IP-based, zoned security alarm system using card swipe devices. The system should monitor corridors, and selected sensitive areas, doors and hatches. The exterior of the building should not provide any “natural ladders” that would provide access to the building roof. Recesses, blind corners, or crawl space accesses, and roof hatches should be eliminated where possible. If practical, restrooms should be located away from the entrances of the school for security purposes. If security cameras are used, they should be small, power over Ethernet (POE) cameras attached to the building network. The data drops for these cameras should be placed at strategic locations in the hallways and large core spaces. These cameras may be used to monitor exterior portions of the building campus. There should be additional exterior security lighting near entrances and walkways for visual supervision by law enforcement. These light fixtures should be designed to allow easy change-out of bulbs. The building shall be provided with a fire alarm system that has the capability to transmit an alarm to the fire department or a monitoring company. The fire alarm system shall have sensing devices and alarm initiating devices connected to a control/annunciator panel. Fire alarms shall have both audio and visual alarms. The control/annunciator panel shall be placed near the main administrative area. Fire extinguishers, exit lights, and exit door hardware should be provided as
Pasco Pre-K Center - Educational Specifications
Page 2-3
part of the construction package. Designers should take care to design in compliance with applicable codes. If the school serves as an “emergency shelter,” it will require a generator. In this instance, “emergency shelter” is an undefined term in relation to national, state or local agencies and merely indicates that the District wishes to have certain electrical systems able to continue functionality during a power outage. The circuitry and generator size should be designed to power phones, data systems, administrative lighting systems, the life skills rooms, kitchen freezers/coolers, and minimal lighting throughout other areas of the school. The play area perimeter shall be fenced. The design team should consider fencing around the service area with a gate wide enough for all service vehicles. All hazardous equipment storage areas shall be fenced. 2.4 TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATIONS
A fully programmable unified communication system (VOIP), including intercom features, shall be provided for the school. The communication system shall allow for fax sending and reception in the office area. Telephone equipment cabinets shall be located in a main distribution frame room. The equipment components of the telephone system, the clock/bell system, and data communications system shall be installed in this room. The intercom feature needs to provide the capacity for several auxiliary inputs, including connection to the network for streaming services. In addition, it shall provide for office-classroom communications, all-call functions, and the capability for remote assessment of building occupancy. Within the school, a telephone and clock shall be placed in each classroom, conference room, office, secretarial space, workroom, clinic, cafeteria, library/media center, gym, cafeteria, kitchen, or other frequently occupied space. The clock system shall have intercom functions. Wireless technology shall be accessed from anywhere in the facility. Drops for the wireless routers shall be centrally placed in the ceiling of each classroom or on the grid recommended by the wireless system selected by the District. Additional wireless routers shall be placed in other areas of the school to ensure wireless access at any spot. Every classroom and conference room shall include a classroom sound field system with built-in speakers. A computer technology system to support the instructional and administrative needs of the school should be installed in the building and will be an integral part of this school’s success. Each classroom, conference room, office, secretarial space, workroom, clinic, and multipurpose room within the school needs to be connected internally with a local area network. The local area network needs to be connected to the other schools in the district through district-owned fiber optic cable and the Internet. Category 6 cable, or better, is to be used for the connections between the MDF and each of the classroom drops. Open tray raceways should be used where possible for ease of maintenance. Each classroom, conference room, office, secretarial space, workroom, clinic, and multipurpose room within the school should have multiple data drops per the District
Pasco Pre-K Center - Educational Specifications
Page 2-4
standards. Sufficient electrical outlets to supply the technology equipment should accompany each data drop. Each classroom and conference room should be provided a short throw projector system. Additional computer peripherals and software need to be provided as needed but may be outside the project construction budget. 2.5 COMMUNITY USE
No community use of this facility is anticipated. 2.6 MAINTENANCE, UTILITIES, AND ENERGY CONSERVATION
The school shall be provided with modern HVAC equipment and utility systems that take advantage of current utility conservation technologies. The building shall be heated and cooled. Classrooms shall have fresh air occupancy sensors. Air handlers need to be selected that provide minimal classroom background noise and provide high acoustical qualities for a quiet learning environment. HVAC air intake shall be placed away from exhaust of other systems and vehicles. System controls need to be programmable and include economizer and optimized start-up features. Each system shall be capable of off-site control through the use of a laptop or remote computer. Additional controls to manage peak load demand shall be included in each system. Load shedding controls and the ability to sequentially bring food service equipment on line are especially important. HVAC units shall have easy access to filters for maintenance. All general lighting fixtures shall have LED lamps. Where spot lighting may be necessary, LED or compact fluorescent lights should be used. In the multipurpose room, compact fluorescent lighting or LED’s should be used and should have easy access for changing bulbs. Restrooms and classrooms shall be equipped with occupancy and daylight sensors to control lighting. The security lighting in each parking area shall be placed on electric eye sensor switches with override timers for energy conservation. Outdoor electrical outlets shall be provided for lawn care equipment or other equipment. To enable future remodeling with minimum cost, electrical service to classrooms should be provided overhead where practical. Electrical service should be sized larger than initially needed to provide for reasonable future expansion capacity. Surge protection shall be provided at the panel. Ample outlets shall also be provided in each hallway wall for custodial equipment. There should be numerous isolation valves to allow easy servicing of the plumbing system. Floor sinks should be used in the custodial closets. Irrigation meters should be separated from domestic water meters. Several outdoor spigots are needed and will be itemized during the design process. Gutters, where used, should have screens or covers.
Pasco Pre-K Center - Educational Specifications
Page 2-5
2.7 RESTROOMS
Restrooms shall be provided in sufficient quantity to meet local building requirements and enable students to access restrooms with a minimum loss of instructional time. Wall mounted toilet fixtures should be considered for ease of cleaning. Walls shall be a hard, smooth, washable material. Restrooms shall have mirrors, soap dispensers, toilet tissue dispensers, and paper towel dispensers, all placed at age-appropriate heights. All adult female restrooms shall be equipped with feminine napkin disposal units. All restrooms should have floor drains. Individual restrooms shall be equipped with purge fans. Each fan shall be controlled with an automatic timer that shuts off after ten (10) minutes of operation. Staff restrooms that are accessible only from a secured space (e.g., teacher work room, staff break room area, etc.) shall have an entrance vestibule with both inside and outside doors for acoustical privacy. A shelf for books, papers, etc. shall be provided inside the staff restroom stalls. Plumbing cleanouts shall be installed in numerous places around the building to provide ease of maintenance. A hose bib shall be placed in each large public restroom within a secure wall box. The plumbing walls in restrooms should have easy-access panels to maintain fixtures and pipes. Non-slip flooring materials shall be used in the restrooms and food preparation areas. 2.8 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Since this is an interior renovation project, there are no special design considerations. 2.9 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The creative use of color is encouraged in the school design. Colors should be coordinated with an overall scheme however, color selection should take the sensitivity to soiling from student activities and use into account.

3.0 EDUCATIONAL AND SUPPORT SPACES
3.1 ADMINISTRATION
3.1.1 PROGRAM FUNCTIONS
The administrative offices provide leadership, program coordination, and facilitation services for teachers, students, and the general public in the areas of curriculum, instructional leadership, and student discipline. The administrative offices need to set a tone of organization and order while also providing a customer-friendly atmosphere. The administration often meets with students, teachers, and parents in small individual conferences and small group meetings. The administrative offices are typically high traffic areas with considerable public visibility. The office design needs to allow good sight lines to the entrance of the school and the nurse’s room.
The reception area should be a warm and welcoming place that gives visitors and students a sense of calmness and professionalism.
The nurse’s room will be used by the school nurse to implement the student health services program which provides illness and injury assessments as well as health interventions and assessments.
Services for student aged 0-3 (plus others as needed) are delivered at the student’s home. Personnel for this program will need a shared office space. Each team member will have their own desk area and the ability to collaborate with other team members.

3.1.3 COMPONENT RELATIONSHIPS – ADMINISTRATION AND COUNSELING
The entrance to the school should be designed as a “secure” entrance, directing visitors to enter, or check in with office personnel, before entering the school. This may be done by having an entrance vestibule with the interior set of doors locked and directing visitors to enter, or check in with, the office through a side door, or window, in the vestibule rather than go through the second set of doors in the vestibule. There should be a “lock down” button in the office area. The main entrance security system should have a “buzz in” button from the office to allow visitors to enter. The interior vestibule doors may be unlocked during public functions when the secure entrance is not desired. Public restrooms need to be located for convenient access.
The main administration areas include the principal’s office, the “zero-to-three” shared office area, the nurse’s room, the clerical-reception area, and a shared work room. (The “zero-to-three” shared office area may be physically located outside the “office” area.) The clerical-reception area needs to have direct sight lines to the entrance of the building for traffic control and safety. The work room should be accessible from the clerical area and directly from the corridor so teacher circulation to the work room is not through the office. The mailboxes for teachers should be in the break room.
In addition, the clerical-reception area needs to have direct access and sight lines to the nurse’s room. One restroom is to be within the nurse’s room. Adult restrooms should be accessible from the administration offices and the teacher break area.
The principal’s office should be adjacent to the conference room and have good sight lines to the front of the building. Offices should have natural light if possible.

3.2 CUSTODIAL - MAINTENANCE
3.2.1 PROGRAM FUNCTION
The custodial program provides appropriate cleaning support for the building by ensuring a clean, healthy, organized, and safe physical plant for the instruction of students. The custodians provide these services through regular sweeping, mopping, dusting, and scrubbing. They use larger cleaning equipment that requires additional storage space. Short term storage of furniture is needed while they await repair or long-term storage. Minor repair of equipment occurs in the custodial area.

3.3 FOOD SERVICE
3.3.1 PROGRAM FUNCTIONS
The food service department is operated as a support service to the educational program. Meals are generally eaten the classrooms. The kitchen will prepare food for both breakfast and lunch. There will be approximately 140 meals served at each time. There may be occasional catering for events in addition to the daily meals.

3.3.3 COMPONENT RELATIONSHIPS
The kitchen should be in the main core area of the school. The office, restroom, freezer, and dry storage room need to be adjacent to the kitchen and close to a loading area. The kitchen should be isolated from the classrooms to prevent unnecessary noise distractions. The food preparation and dishwashing/scullery areas need to be separated, but adjacent. The design of this space should prevent potentially unsafe collisions between serving personnel, cooking personnel, and dishwashing personnel. This is especially important with hot foods and equipment.
The kitchen should be near a main service entrance of the school to easily accommodate food deliveries. One dumpster should be placed near this area. Additional containers should be added for recycling.

3.4 PRESCHOOL (Pre-K)
3.4.1 PROGRAM FUNCTION
The Preschool programs fosters growth in cognitive, adaptive, social, and physical skills for four and five-year old children. The programs help young students develop and maintain language acquisition, concept development, emotional growth, and perceptual development.
Students in these programs use varied activities, sometimes noisier than a regular classroom. These activities often include individual instruction, tutoring, and small group instruction. Students often learn by playing with large manipulative learning materials and participate in movement activities and interest centers. These may include painting, pasting, and cutting. Other activities include the use of sensory tables, rhythm instruments, dance, and group reading circles. 3.4.2 COMPONENT SPACES
Description # Areas # Staff # Students
Pre-K Classrooms 11 1-3 20
Restrooms 6 0 1
3.4.3 COMPONENT RELATIONSHIPS
The preschool rooms should be near each other, perhaps in a common “suite” of early childhood rooms. These classrooms should be near an outside play area, specifically for early childhood use.
Doorways need to be placed to allow students to enter and exit the room with minimum disruption of instruction and should be placed opposite the teaching wall whenever possible. Each classroom should have an adjacent restroom accessible only from the classroom. There is considerable interaction between these rooms and a need for easy circulation between the rooms.
The typical casework includes one full-height cabinet approximately four feet wide, along with a combination of base cabinets, and drawers. Wall cabinets are to be located above the base cabinets and may include a bookshelf unit. All cabinets have adjustable shelving and many cabinets should be lockable.

3.5 SPECIAL SERVICES
3.5.1 PROGRAM FUNCTIONS
The special services program ensures all individuals have the opportunity to learn and attain self-fulfillment regardless of their disability. This process is often a collaborative educational effort among learners, educators, families, communities, governments, businesses, and industries. Physical therapy and occupational therapy (PT/OT) services, testing services, and speech-language therapy services will occur in these spaces. Activities are quite varied in this program and are sometimes noisier than a regular classroom.
