What’s the maximum building size before you become inefficient?
Larger buildings can be considered more efficient because they help save on staff (mainly administrative and office staff, as well as saving costs by reducing travel time for teachers). These efficiencies are lost as the building gets so big that additional administrative and office staff is needed. For example, going from two buildings to one means one principal instead of two. However, if two assistant principals are needed to manage the building the efficiency is lost. More likely, the case would be to add an assistant principal and an additional counselor. These decisions depend on the grade level served, because of this there is no cutoff size necessarily. A staffing discussion for each arrangement should take place before determining the efficiency of the building We’re working on staffing for the three plans. The estimated savings are noted below in the next question. All three options are more efficient than the existing configuration.
