The above chart notes the number of phone lines available through the current AT&T Merlin phone <br /> system(Totl Merl.)and those private lines available outside the Merlin system. The phone line to <br /> teacher ratio is calculated in the last column based on the current number of phone lines available <br /> for use. The Rollover column indicates the number of lines available for incoming callers. The <br /> additional phone lines would decrease the line to teacher ratio,allow more lines for incoming <br /> callers, allow more access to staff members for outside calls, and provide a dedicated line at each <br /> school for modem communications with other schools. <br /> The current distribution of phone extensions(excluding CHHS) is noted in the chart below: <br /> Distribution of Phones <br /> Schl Totl Totl Main Guid Media Cafe Aft Tchr Tchr Head Fam <br /> Merl Oth Off Ctr Schl Wkrm Clrm Start Spec <br /> * <br /> Carr 11 2 4 1 1 1* 1* 3 <br /> Eph 13 4 6 I 1 1* 1* 1 2 <br /> Estes 14 2 5 1 1 1* 1* 2 5 <br /> FPG 11 8 5, 1* 1* 1* 1* 2* 4 2* 1 <br /> Gln 10 4 5 1 1* 1* 3 <br /> Swl 30 4 5 1 1 1* _ 1* 2 20 2* <br /> Culb 25 1 6 4 - 1 1* 9 3 <br /> Phl 18 5 5 4 1 1* 4 2 <br /> Schl First Other Locations <br /> Aid <br /> Carr 1 - Records Rm, 1 - <br /> Resource (cordless) <br /> Eph 1 1 - Spec Serv, 1* - ESL, 1* <br /> •Greenlund <br /> Estes <br /> FPG 1 <br /> Gln .1 - Speech Lang, 1* - <br /> PASS Trailer, 1*Resource, <br /> (1 cordless in Tchr Wr1Qm) <br /> Swi 1 - PE Office <br /> Culb 1 - Spec Ed Office, 1 - <br /> Gym <br /> Phl 2 - Spec Tchrs,2* - <br /> Coaches, 1*Tech Lab <br /> (Voc), 1* - Pay <br /> Using these charts as a reference and recognizing the importance of the phone to the schools for <br /> communication, the Committee recommended that the exemplary standards be used in upgrading <br /> the phone systems. Each school,for the most part,met the basic standards and to meet the <br /> exemplary standards essentially required that a phone be installed in every classroom. <br /> 9 <br />
