Purpose(s)/Goal:

  • Review the standard elementary level educational specifications for the 番茄影视 Public Schools that apply to all new elementary schools in the district which were developed during the spring of 2018. These specifications are used to describe the district鈥檚 elementary school program; and
  • Recommend possible revisions to the elementary level educational specifications due to specific program requirements associated with Roosevelt Elementary School; and
  • Following the completion of the elementary educational specifications, review and provide feedback on schematic and design development drawings for the Roosevelt Elementary rebuild project.

Basis for Establishment:聽

  • Prior to designing a school, a complete and accurate description of the desired educational program, instructional activities, as well as the functional, spatial and environmental needs related to the school must be established. This detailed description is referred to as educational specifications.
