Introduction & Goal Review Goal (from 2/22/2010):
Define and collect empirical data that describes extent of space constraints (in D34 schools)
Why? Enough space for housing students is not the same as
enough space for educating students Mobiles have negative image amongst parents Re-purposing space is often necessary, but rarely ideal No clear idea of what % of a child’s day is spent in less-
than-ideal space Scope Change
Attea & Springman excluded from this year’s analysis

Methodology Created an analysis framework & approach Defined a red/yellow/green rating model for instructional
space Established a data-gathering approach and collected
instructional time data from each school Conducted walk-throughs of each school to identify
ratings Compared findings across district and finalized analysis
and conclusions

• Very considerable challenges, not even including mobile classrooms
• Every space besides General Education rooms are seriously compromised for instruction
• Some spaces (i.e. “atrium spaces”) considered very poor (i.e. limited HVAC, limited space, multiple instruction in tiny space)
• Staff has repurposed virtually all administrative space (conference rooms, lounges, offices) for instructional space to ease overcrowding
• Remove Mobiles and Red goes to 6%
• Operating just under full capacity: additional students will require significant changes to instructional space coordination and use
• Some stress on common areas (i.e. gym) due to capacity increase from addition without increase in common area sizes
• Most shared instruction space (i.e. for pull-out programs) under stress

• No major issues – below capacity• Red = Early Childhood classes in Mobiles• Yellow = Two overfull Kindergarten classes• Limited Storage• One staff washroom for 65 staff members
• No major issues• Challenges arise mainly from using administrative space
(lounges, conference rooms) for instruction, though it mainly works
• Gym not large enough for all P.E. sessions

• Age of building is a concern, and poses space constraints• Space challenges mainly for smaller / pull-out classes• ELL and most speech rooms are clearly inadequate• Drama currently on a cart• Gym currently OK, but will go to Yellow with additional students• Limited storage, classroom shelving tends to be overloaded
• No major issues• Space challenges are mainly for common space (Gym sections,
Multi-Purpose Room usage)• Limited storage – external storage being used to supplement

Overall Conclusions Staff display incredible creativity and flexibility in making
existing space work Situation could be considerably worse
Most challenges come from insufficient / inadequate space for small groups This anticipated to increase, not decrease
Additions / Mobiles solve immediate and most visible needs (i.e. General Education classrooms), but create issues in the way of common space usage and small group space availability
