The committee held a meeting to address facility needs, particularly regarding the space limitations at the middle school. Key topics included the lack of dedicated space for specific instructional needs, such as an auditorium, gym, and additional classrooms. Discussions centered on the operational challenges caused by room sharing, including the impact on science and STEM instruction, the constraints of sharing special education resource rooms, and the difficulties in accommodating students requiring breaks or small group testing. The committee also examined current facility usage, including the cafeteria and breakout spaces, and explored the potential need for additional classroom capacity given the increased student population and special education requirements.
