<br />~,~~~~r <br />7, (~. Why is LOS calculated at school levels vs. each school? <br />A. The membership may vary between schools in a level from under capacity <br />to overcapacity. To be fiscally prudent, it is not necessary to build another <br />school district wide if rebalancing can be done by redistricting. <br />g, Q. Are mobile classrooms used in the capacity derivation? <br />A. No, the SAPFO Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) excludes mobile <br />classrooms as permanent but they may be used to house temporary <br />individual school overcapacity situations. In this manner, the need for new <br />schools is not `masked' by the use of mobile classrooms. <br />g. Q. How many students do the LOS standards equate to in the two school <br />districts? <br />A. <br /> CHAPEL HILL/ <br />CARRBORO <br />SCHOOL <br />DISTRICT ORANGE <br />COUNTY <br />SCHOOL <br />DISTRICT <br /> 100% ca acit 4302 3820 <br /> 105% ca acit 4517 4011 <br />ELEMENTARY Difference 215 / 10' 191 / 9' <br /> # per school 215=82=273 191=62=323 <br /> <br /> 100% ca acit 2840 1466 <br /> 107% ca acit 3039 1569 <br />MIDDLE Difference 199 / 9' 103 / 5' <br /> # per school 199=4Z=503 103=2Z=523 <br /> <br /> 100% ca acit 3035 2518 <br /> 110% ca acit 3339 2770 <br />HIGH Difference 304 / 12' 252 / 10' <br /> # perschool 304=22=1523 252=22=1263 <br />This also roughly indicates how many mobile classrooms would be necessary <br />in the school level before the LOS is reached if no other interior capacity <br />changes were made. <br />z Number of schools in the level. <br />3 If overcapacity students were equally distributed amongst available schools. <br />2 <br />
