Capacity Data: <br /> Two changes occurred in the CHCCS system with the opening of Morris Grove <br /> Elementary School and the implementation of the new class size ratio of 1:21 in grades <br /> K-3. Capacity at the Elementary level increased by 323. Two changes occurred in the <br /> OCS system as well. Capacity at the Elementary level decreased by 228 due to the <br /> implementation of the new 1:21 class size ratio for grades K-3 and capacity increased at <br /> the High School level by 25 with the completion of the new Partnership Academy <br /> Alternative School. <br /> 5. Capacity Issues <br /> SAPFO vs. DPI <br /> The SAPFO is a 'freestanding' ordinance, independent of State Department of Public <br /> Instruction (DPI) projections and rules regarding class size. The SAPFO, for instance, <br /> does not count temporary modular classrooms as fulfilling the capacity level of service <br /> outlined in the SAPFO interlocal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU <br /> requires 'bricks and mortar' instead of temporary facilities and also requires its own set of <br /> future student projections to identify long-term capital school construction needs. <br /> With the opening of Morris Grove Elementary in August 2008, CHCCS does not exceed <br /> the adopted levels of service established in the SAPFO. OCS does not exceed the <br /> adopted levels of service. <br /> 6. Student Projection Analysis <br /> Student membership projections show an increase at all levels in both school systems, <br /> except the High School level for OCS, in years 2009-2011. The projections are shown on <br /> pages 36-37 of the report. <br /> 7.
