[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know they actually come up with the capacity number for each school.   I'm looking at the capacity dashboard and seems like school's capacities are changing every year and this would be without any renovation/expansion occurring.   So is the capacity number based on building size or is based off number of teacher's employed? Or is some mix of both?[/quote]
The capacity being used is the current “program” capacity. So that’s at the current staffing levels. The program capacity can expand or contract based on need. For example, while Stone currently has a program capacity of 861, it recently had a capacity of 930, which was reduced when membership dropped off. It has a building capacity of 1104. Similarly, Franklin had a building capacity of 1215 but a program capacity of 844. So there is some margin for expanding program capacity and shifting staff around to support a larger Franklin and Stone.[/quote]
So with Stone as the single feeder to Westfield HS it can provide up to 2208 students, before having to add trailers or modulars to Stone.[/quote]
