Dennis Groves, North Liberty Elementary School Custodian A motion was made by Tom McCormick, seconded by Gene Knowlton, to approve the recommended appointments listed above. The motion was approved by a seven to zero vote. 3. Approve Educational Plan for Use of K-12 School Facilities Dr. Ivan Wagner, Educational Consultant, presented to the School. Board a Feasibility Study for the K-12 facilities of the John Glenn School Corporation. Dr. Wagner recommends that the School Board make minor renovation and construct an addition adjacent to Urey Middle School to accommodate a 7th and Bth middle school philosophy and program. The addition to Urey Middle School: 1. provides a school identity for students in middle grades; , 2 ^provides flexibility for expanding the middle school to include grade 6 sometime in the future; 3. would be the least expensive of the available options; 4. protects the integrity of the middle school program; 5. approaches long-range facility planning in phases, thereby maximizing the use of the tax dollar; and 6. addresses the middle school’s urgent facilities needs. Dr. Wagner’s study projects a growing enrollment that will continue to occur until at least the year 2000. The growth appears to be steady and managaeable. By constructing speciality facilities at Urey’s site, general purpose classrooms could be constructed at a later date to accommodate sixth graders as a part of the middle school or increase in 7th and Bth enrollment. As Walkerton and North Liberty Elementgary Schools approach 100% utilization of functional capacity, it would be time to revisit the philosophy and concept of middle school for grades 6,7 and 8. Following questions and discussion with Dr. Wagner, Shirley Anderson made a motion, seconded by Tom McCormick, to approve the educational feasibility study for K-12 school facilities. The motion was approved by a 5-1-1 vote, with Gene Knowlton voting no and Nilas Miller abstaining. Dr. Wagner’s feasibility study is on file in the superintendent’s office. 4.
