New Items Action By ITEM
2.1 Scope/ Program fyi Fairmeadow is currently almost a 3 1/2 strand school with 475 enrollment.
Bond proposal would add 7 classrooms and 1 flex room to become 4 stream.
fyi An expanded MP room is desired with the increased enrollment.
fyi Maintaining supervision in the play yard is very important.
fyi Preserving the redwood trees is desired. It is possible to remove the lower
limbs from the redwoods to increase visibility across the campus.
fyi There are drainage issues on the black top and play area. Standing water is
common on the black top. Play area around the redwood trees is muddy.
Students play primarily on the black top.
fyi Library size is sufficient for campus, but layout would need to be improved.
fyi Jackson building is an isolated island from rest of campus.
fyi Fairmeadow has 3 special day program classrooms and a science program
housed in a portable behind one of the classroom wings.
fyi Doors between classrooms are desired to increase connectivity.
fyi A larger staff room and more storage are desired on the campus.
fyi Increased bicycle parking and landscape improvements at the main entrance
are desirable.
2.2 Site Layout fyi New 2 story 8 classroom building in U shape, to connect Jackson building
back into campus.
fyi New 1 story 4 classroom building in U shape to connect Jackson building
back into campus, New 1 story 4 classroom building in U shape by day care
for group of upper grade classrooms, to connect day care back into campus
and complete a loop. U shape allows existing redwoods to become center of
" courtyard" area for each grade of classrooms.

strand school. Add another new 1 story 3 classroom building in L shaped
formation next to new U shaped classroom wing.

room by removing adjacent portable and increasing size of MP room.
