Overview of Board of Education's Discussions
In the 2008-09 school year, the Board of Education continued their planning inititiative throughout the school year by having Burton, Berenhardt & Smith, P.C., the district's architectural firm, introduce several possible building scenarios for meeting the district's space needs.
In the 2007-08 school year, the entire Board of Education addressed
space planning as a Board initiative. They held planning meetings at each of the schools in the district focusing on plans to address the needs of the school where the meeting was held as well as the district as a whole.
In 2006, the
Board chose Burton,
Berenhardt & Smith, P.C., an architectural firm from Patchogue).
(In 2006 the student population grew by almost 3%--almost a whole
percentage point over the projected 2% growth. In a census study
that preceded the Planning Committee's report, the student population
was projected to grow by 1,700 students over the next 10 years.)
In 2005, the Space Planning Committee presented to the Board an
overview of their findings in an effort to aid the Board in its
decision as to how the District can best meet the need to house an expanding student
population.
