  4. Student Enrollment Trends

  5. Capacity Reporting Educational Capacity: • Students – overall enrollment • Staff – number of teachers • Class Size – number of students • Budget – commitment to stay under the 2% cap • Facility – number of classrooms per building Fire Capacity: • Fire Code - number each room can hold

  6. School Schematics: HHS Holly Hills Elementary: • 63,152 square feet • Approximate Fire Code Capacity: HHS is 1,246 • Of the 37 rooms at HHS, 25 could be used as homeroom classes.  If we put class size at 24, we get 600.   As of today we have 503 students enrolled for the upcoming year. We could house approximately 97 more students at HHS. • In this scenario, all related arts remain in their own rooms. OT/PT and Speech could become "push in programs."

  7. School Schematics: WMS Westampton Middle School: • 97,025 square feet • Approximate Fire Code Capacity: WMS is 1,047 • AT WMS, enrollment 5-8 is currently 421. Pre-school is approximately 47.  There are 27 rooms that could be used as classrooms at WMS.  With 24 students per class, we could house 648 students.  We could house approximately 180 more students.  • In this scenario  Pre-School, and all related arts remain in their own rooms. OT/PT and Speech could become "push in programs."
