Building utilization decision at board meetim Tuesday's school board agenda calied for choice of 'fruit' options by Jennifer McKenna OF THE RECORD STAFF The Park City School Board was scheduled to make a decision on the building utilization options for the school district at its meeting last night. The school board was not scheduled to vote on the school boundaries at the meeting. The Building Utilization Work Group has outlined several options in order to better utilize classroom space in the district. dis-trict. After months of work, the proup presented the following options to the school board at a recent meeting. Apple Design: K-6 students in the four elementary schools; 7-8 grade students stu-dents at the two midJle schools; 9-12 students stu-dents at the high school. This plan could be implemented as early as the fall of 2(K)1. Pros; moves sixth-grade to elementary elemen-tary level; preserves most of current structure; retains sports at high school level; smaller schools; maintains high school teaching staff; sixth-grade clustering cluster-ing for teachers; many parents like sixth-grade sixth-grade in the elementary schools; makes K-6 neighborhood schools. Cons: high school overcrowding (ninth-grade there is only a temporary solution); middle school spaces underutilized under-utilized while high school, sixth-grade teachers would like to stay in middle schools; long-term stress at high school; does not fix capacity dilemma. The major drawback is that the high school would have to be extremely creative cre-ative with its space, which already feels full to most students. Possible options include satellite or electronic classes, expansion of the school day, traveling teachers throughout the school, expanding expand-ing space at the school, removing day care facility. Pear design: K-5 students in the four elementary schools: 6-8 students at the two middle schools.' 9-12 at the high school. This is the current design of the district. Pros: no grade realignment: maintains neighborhood school through eighth-grade; eighth-grade; middle schools can do more with current departments and it provides a longer time frame. Con teachers at high school would need to give up exclusive rooms: short-term short-term fix; elementary school neighborhoods neighbor-hoods are already changing. Although this plan maintains three bus schedules, the major drawback is that this plan does not account for overcrowding over-crowding at the high school. Orange design: K-5 in four elementary elemen-tary schools, 6-7 students at Ecker Hill. 8-9 students at Treasure Mountain; 10-12 students at the high school. It could be implemented by the fall of 2003. Pros: more class offerings and flexibility flexi-bility within grades; unifies community; places eighth-graders closer to high school for advanced courses an J preparation: prepa-ration: no rivalry between middle schools: equity in offerings for students in grades 6-9 Cons: high school teachers unhappy that ninth-graders have moved out; requires additional space built on to Ecker. which would take a few years, lose neighborhood schools al sixth-grade; sixth-grade; increases bussing time for some children, students aiiend four schools over six years; many parents like K-6 alignment.
