This document contains policies and standards to guide the design and evaluation of elementary schools in the Santa Fe Public School District. These policies and standards can be used for a variety of purposes: to serve as a checklist to evaluate existing schools, to identify capital outlay needs to bring all schools to minimum standards, and to serve as a basis for new school design. The document is divided into three sections addressing: (1) the school site (size, location, and quality; site accessibility; and site features); (2) school plant assessment (exterior and interior building components, heating/ventilation/air conditioning, plumbing, electrical/telecommunications, safety/security, and school plant maintainability); and (3) adequacy and environment for education (adequacy--size and relationships, and environment). (Appendices present criteria for assignable square footage, a needs analysis for a prototypical elementary school, a handicapped accessibility checklist, and an illustrative plan.) (EV)
