Mobile and Modular Classrooms 2008-09 • 56 swing space units and and net gain of 3 capacity units are being added for elementary schools • 50 mobile units are being added at the high school level to address crowding • Middle schools are losing units due to freeing up swing space mobiles/modulars By 2010-11 • Elementary schools could reduce their mobile inventory • Middle Schools can not add more mobiles for capacity • High schools gain more modulars to address crowding

In Summary: Part IICIP 2006 M-6 & H-6 open in 2011
Future Planning Questions • Do we use membership projections based on November 2007 Updates? • Do we strive toward 8% of students in mobile units at the elementary level? What about middle schools and high schools where use of mobiles is increasing? • Do we strive toward 95% (elementary and middle) and 97.5% (high school) utilization when possible? • Do we reduce future permanent capacity by opening new elementary or middle schools on a traditional rather than on a year-round calendar?
