What class size	threshold would
you	suggest	we	use?

For the purpose of next steps and future planning related to costs AND recognizing smaller class size increases the demand for more classrooms.

A. Occupancy per Sylvania
City School District Contract

•	K-3rd grade = 25 students/class

B. Occupancy per

•	Kindergarten	= 20 students/class

Option	
Details	

A	

Renovate / Addition
to Existing Facility	

   Significant addition needed for 2,800 students, only feasible at Southview
Would displace athletics/band practice fields

   Northview has significant investments in athletics and Career Tech; could be
repurposed as a junior high, but would also require addition / renovation	

B	

New Construction	
   Requires a 38-acre site within the district

Southview lacks space for new build without major disruptions and loss of
athletics fields / band practice fields

   High cost, with potential to leave two facilities vacant	

C	

Divide High Schools by Grade Bands	

   Separate 9th-10th and 11th-12th  into two facilities

   Limits student educational opportunities

   Increases transportation needs and costs for shared resources/programs
