Baltimore City Public SchoolsEducational Adequacy Assessment Guidelines 2ndIntroduction
This document represents guidelines that will be used by the Educational Adequacy survey team toevaluate educational adequacy in Baltimore City Public Schools (BCPS). These guidelines are developedwith various approaches with the most common being through a series of meetings with variousdistrict personnel including administrators, teachers, and other relevant parties. After consultation withBCPS the decision was made to instead base guidelines off of the standards of nearby school districts.Existing Jacobs guidelines from previous experience with other large urban school districts were usedas the starting point. Grimm and Parker Architects then took these guidelines, and modified thembased on the standards of geographically relevant Maryland school districts.
The standards have been categorized into eight criteria. These eight criteria form the basis of analysis todetermine a weighted Educational Suitability Score (ESS) for each school. The following weighting hasbeen suggested based on district-wide facilities preferences:
Criteria Weight
1 - Capacity 15 %
2 - Support for Programs 10 %
3 - Technology 15 %
4 - Security and Supervision 15 %
5 - Instructional Aids 20%
6 - Physical Characteristics 15 %
7 - Learning Environment 10 %
8 - Relationship of Spaces 5 %
The following pages outline standards within the eight categories listed above that will be used toevaluate educational adequacy at Baltimore City Public Schools. These standards may also be used as afoundation for future construction and renovation projects throughout the district.

Baltimore City Public SchoolsEducational Adequacy Assessment Guidelines 2nd1 - Capacity
School capacity is one of the primary criteria in the educational suitability analysis. As schools becomeovercrowded, the infrastructure is strained, scheduling becomes difficult, and students, teachers, andadministrators alike suffer the consequences. Capacity measures the ability of the physical plant to housethe number of students currently enrolled at the school. The task of the facility evaluation team is todetermine the ability of the existing physical plant to house the number of students currently enrolled.The criteria used to determine the effects of overcrowding include:
1) The number of student stations that should be housed in classrooms (using standards for bothfloor area per student and number of students per classroom) compared to actual enrollment;
2) The capacity of core facilities compared with actual enrollment;3) The amount of school functions housed in temporary/portable/modular buildings;4) The size of the media center and other core support spaces;5) The amount of gross site area; and6) Availability of parking.
The following standards are used to calculate the capacity of each school based on its school type:
Target EnrollmentTotal enrollment for a given school type:
Target Enrollment PK-K School 150-250 studentsK-5 Elementary School 500-700 studentsPK-8 Elementary School 800-1000 studentsMiddle School 750-950 studentsHigh School 700-1,400 students6-12 School 700-1400 students
Core CapacitySize of the student dining area in relation to student capacity (These areas are derived from the areaprograms at the end of this document):
Total toilet area in relation to student capacity, excluding toilet facilities that are integral to classroomspaces, and locker areas in gymnasium spaces. (These areas are derived from the area programs at theend of this document):

Parking CapacityNeighborhood schools are designed to decrease the need for automobile traffic and encouragealternative modes of transportation including bicycles and walking. Parking needs will be analyzed ateach individual location and will seek to minimize parking. When parking is required, local codes will befollowed, and where codes do not provide adequate guidance, the following guidelines will be used:
Amount of parking based upon student enrollment: Elementary and Middle School Parking 3 spaces per classroom High School Parking 3 spaces per classroom plus
1 space for every 4 students
An additional 15% of parking spaces should be added to facilities with high Exceptional StudentEducation enrollment to accommodate additional staff and itinerant agencies staff.
2 - Support for ProgramsEach school should have the ability to provide the facility support for minimum programs asdetermined by BCPS. The minimum programs are those basic to the district-wide standard schoolcurriculum. The minimum programs do include a rigorous language, math, and science curriculum, aswell as visual and creative art, music, and the use of technology as part of the instructional curriculum.The curriculum will also include physical education to meet the increasing national requirements,providing a gymnasium at each campus.
Flexible use of the space will be a critical area of design for all grade levels. Schools will use smallerareas for individual instruction and, where possible, common areas will be included within the classroomareas. The school space programs will also include dedicated areas for language labs, testing labs, andtechnology labs. Dedicated science classrooms will be included at all schools and designed forappropriate grade level instruction. Designs for modernized schools should address needs for studentsas well as professionals, providing office areas, conference, and meeting space.
High schools will be offering a broad curriculum, some of which may be structured as schools withinschools. Again, flexibility to change and adapt facilities to meet the instructional demand will be a criticaldesign component. High school instructional spaces will include classrooms, small group areas,presentation areas, performance areas, and larger lecture spaces. Each school will have a career andtechnical center where students can learn about post-graduation careers or conduct research oncolleges and continuing education opportunities.
The following table includes minimum instructional spaces required to meet BCPS standards for eacheducational program. Certain programs have a preferred location in permanent buildings. See space listfor a more detailed accounting of spaces for each school grade configuration type.

3 - TechnologyThe degree to which a particular school can accommodate technology can be measured by evaluatingthe infrastructure supporting classrooms, laboratories, and office access to the campus local areanetwork. The objective for technology at Baltimore City Public Schools will be to support the digitallynative learning styles of today’s students. This will include both wired and wireless access tocomputing technology. While technology is continuously changing and improving, the approach will beto provide a minimum technology package for each instructional space. The following standards will beused to define technology infrastructure at each school:
Each campus will accommodate wireless data communication throughout the facility. Each campus will feature dedicated computer labs for group instruction. Each classroom will have a classroom switch or data drops for computer connections. Each classroom (any space with the potential for student instruction) will be equipped with a:
Fixed ceiling-mounted projector and Interactive white board Media controller cart Wireless access Audio Enhancement
Room-by-room technology requirements are shown in the Room Design Guidelines section onpages 16-19.

Jacobs
Baltimore City Public SchoolsEducational Adequacy Assessment Guidelines 2nd4 - Security and Supervision
The degree to which a school's facilities contribute to the ease of supervision and security is anindicator of educational suitability. Children should be safe from unauthorized campus visitors andshould be easily supervised. There are three levels of supervision and security: the site, the building,and the room.
Site Level Minimum Adequacy. Each site location should have the following attributes:Buffered Playground Secure CourtyardsFenced Special Hazards and Services Visibility of Parking AreaSite Security Lighting Natural Surveillance from Outside & Inside BuildingBus Lane Adjacent to the Building Onsite Parent Drop-offSegregated Bus Drop-off
Building Level Minimum Adequacy. Each building should have the following attributes:Simple building configuration that requires a minimum of entrances, corridors, and supervisionpoints. As the number of these elements increase with the complexity of the buildingconfiguration, the greater the need for supervision and the greater the security concern.
Minimal exterior corridor use that is limited to less than 15% of total circulation space. Allrailings should be open so that they can be supervised. Each building will have an electroniccard key access management system with card key access to at least two exterior doors.
Each school will also have a well-zoned alarm system with ground floor coverage and motionsensors (outside entries, motion detection, stairwells, offices, and equipment areas). Digitalsecurity cameras and associated digital video recorders will be located at the middle and highschools, and may be provided at schools where visibility at the entries is difficult to monitor.Public address system will support all building spaces.
Room Level Minimum Adequacy. Each classroom should have the following attributes:Public announcement system and a telephoneClassroom locking hardware and vision panels in the doors (PK-12)Unobstructed views throughout the instructional spaceMaster shut-off control valves for utilities in appropriate laboratories and shopsEye wash and dousing shower in laboratories or chemical areasExhaust systems in chemistry labs, kiln rooms, automotive and industrial shops
Additionally, tamper-proof lighting that is either keyed or emergency equipped should beprovided in the cafeteria, gymnasium, and media center as well as any space with a largeoccupancy rating.

Baltimore City Public SchoolsEducational Adequacy Assessment Guidelines 2nd5 - Instructional Aids
Each classroom within the school shall have instructional aids available to support the curriculum orsubjects taught in that classroom. These resources are considered a minimum BCPS guidelines for therespective classroom type.
Refer to the room-by-room instructional aids requirements shown in the Room Design Guidelines on
13
Jacobs
Baltimore City Public SchoolsEducational Adequacy Assessment Guidelines 2ndpages 16-19 for specific requirements for instructional aids.
6 - Physical CharacteristicsThe physical characteristics of a facility either enhance or detract from the educational suitability of aschool. These characteristics are assessed at both the room level and the building level.
At the room level, each classroom should meet each of three criteria: area, aspect ratio, and ceilingheight. The overall area of each classroom should meet or exceed the minimum guidelines with a 15%buffer for small variances. The aspect ratio of a classroom (the longest side of a room divided by theshortest side) should fall within 20% of the guideline. And finally, the ceiling height should conform tothe guideline for that room type.
At the building level, the assessment evaluates the number of floors and the further considers thenumber of corridors, the extent of exterior corridors, and whether the corridors meet a minimumwidth if interior. The following guidelines will be used in evaluating the physical characteristics of eachschool:

Jacobs
Baltimore City Public SchoolsEducational Adequacy Assessment Guidelines 2nd7 - Learning Environment
The environment in the classroom is an important part of the learning experience. There are anumber of criteria which can be objectively measured against minimum guidelines for each room. Theelements include lighting adjustability, the ability to control day light, and the flooring material.Additionally, each room should have adequate climate control and should be free from noise andodors. Elementary primary grades should have a gathering area carpet.
The guidelines for each classroom type are listed on the room-by-room learning environmentrequirements shown in the Room Design Guidelines on pages 16-19.
Schools will have sprinklers for fire protection to meet the codes applicable to Baltimore City PublicSchools.
15
Jacobs
Baltimore City Public SchoolsEducational Adequacy Assessment Guidelines 2nd8 - Relationship of Spaces
The design of a school and the relationship of major support spaces within that design contribute tothe overall educational suitability of a campus. The location of the media center can be either central(favored) or non-central; the location of student dining can be central, offset (favored), or remote;and the location of the main office should be easy to access. The degree of ease in accessing thefront door of the school should also be considered.
In buildings where the configuration is complex, way finding can help in location and access ofspaces and make the facility easier to understand for students, teachers, and visitors. Schools shouldhave way finding signage, or the building design should be so intuitive that way finding signage is notrequired. Schools should also have room identification signage in place, and that signage should meetthe Americans with Disabilities Act standard and include both the room number and name.
The following guidelines will be used in evaluating the relationship of spaces in each school:
The media center should be located central to the school. Student dining and the gymnasium should be located offset from main school activities. The administration area should be easily accessible at the main entrance. Schools should have way finding systems and should have signage that includes the
following:Room Name (Pre-K maximum height 42”; all else 60”)Room NumberBrailleRaised Letters
Capacity signage should be posted for rooms with occupancy over 50. The school should have a proper marquee, and it should be in good condition. Pre-K through 2nd grade classrooms as well as Special Needs Life Skills classrooms should be
located on the first floor; unless the building is fully sprinklered and then these rooms can beon the first, second, or third level.
Additionally, the school should have means to secure the facility in a way that allows after-hourscommunity usage. The school should, at a minimum, have: The ability to zone or close areas of the school using doors or other devices to prevent
unauthorized access. Accessibility to food service areas if the facility is to be used for emergency purposes. Accessibility after zoning to core service areas including the media center, the gymnasium, and
the auditorium. Access to music rooms after hours, including accessibility to bus drop-off for loading and
unloading at the secondary schools. Clear patterns of egress and ingress to authorized areas, to include outside vehicle traffic at
school-site curbs.
