Item # Notes Responsible
1.1 Introductions For Info.
1.2 Understanding the purpose and goal of the Pre-Design phase. For Info.
1.3 a. overall teaching philosophy – Teaming
· JLS described the teaming room to be a large room (about 1800 SF.)
with a sink, 2 T.Vs, projection screens used for team parties, science
shows, author visits and lab sciences. JLS also had its Connections
program in the teaming room.
· None of the schools currently have a teaming room separate from
the cafetorium.
· JLS and Jordan expressed the need to have a teaming room. JLS
just assigned their current teaming room to an ELL program.
· Teaming Concept in Palo Alto, per Jordan MS – 6th grade teachers
teach in pairs (One General Education and one for Science &Math).
7th and 8th grade teachers teach in a core of 4 (Science, Math,
English and Social Studies). One sink in each classroom.
· JLS and Terman confirmed that they operate in the same pattern
where classrooms are arranged in terms of teams rather than
disciplines.
· Terman operates with almost the same principle as Jordan and JLS
except that their team is 5 instead of 4 teachers (including P.E
Teacher). They block out periods to allow for teaming and extended
sessions. But this does not always work because sometimes rooms

are not available.
· Terman also indicated that they would rather use the cafetorium
instead of a (double classroom) for teaming sessions to ensure that
they can at least include 100 students per teaming sessions
minimum.
· Terman indicated that their class size is about 25 students.
· Jordan indicated that the teachers use their classrooms as offices
and periods are staggered such that empty classrooms can be used
by teachers as offices.
· All schools indicated need for offices for transient teachers.
· Terman indicated need for counselor’s offices and a conference
room.
b. School specific requirements for classrooms and support
spaces, individual site specific issues , other school specific
issues which affect the overall design scheme
· All schools indicated the need for more storage spaces.
· Meeting spaces are not adequate at all campuses.
· A need was indicated for offices/flex spaces for transient teachers.
For Info.
1.4 After understanding of the initial Master Plan scope and the new board
resolution it was agreed that for the purposes of planning and design the
following enrollment/growth numbers would be utilized:
· Jordan and JL Stanford – 1100 students
· Terman - 675 students
For Info.
1.5 The schools indicated a need to strive towards a standard for Middle Schools
at PAUSD. JLS requested a visit to other state of the art Middle School sites
to understand the latest facility standards. OCMI will send Elementary School
Standards to the principals as an example of what should be developed for
the Middle Schools at PAUSD. AEDIS will send some sample plans from
other Middle School sites around the Bay Area to help the schools
understand the same and see how other districts handle similar issues. It was
agreed that a visit would be organized once the Pre-Design phase was
further along so that a better utilization of a site visit could be achieved.
OCMI, Aedis
1.6 The schools agreed to send their current space utilization charts and maps to
Aedis and OCMI for further understanding of the schools needs.
PAUSD
1.7 The tentative project schedule and the initial list of Master plan items for
renovation and growth were discussed for all the schools.
