What happens if we don’t expand BHS • Average class sizes increase (from 21.5 today to 27.5 in Fall 2021) • Unsafe science rooms due to overcrowding • Core spaces become inadequate and programming must be reduced (phys ed, library, cafeteria) • Insufficient space for substantially separate programs so students placed out of district • Insufficient faculty workspace 7

The BHS Education Plan

Our Framing Questions 1. How will we more deeply engage all students at BHS so their education is personally meaningful, positively impacts themselves and others, and prepares them for the changes and challenges ahead? 2. How do we better serve all students so they are connected to BHS , are supported to be full, thriving members of our community, and succeed academically and socially? 3. How do we accommodate growth and expansion and still retain the essential unity, feel, and cohesion of the Brookline High School campus? 9

Visioning - Guiding Principles for Design • Big School, Small Feel • Allows for Integration Between Disciplines & Departments • Allows for self-directed, hands-on and experiential learning • Flexible learning spaces – allow for performance, presentation, collaboration, socializing, independent and group study • Use of the Entire Building/Campus for Teaching & Learning • Green/Sustainable 10

Developing a Comprehensive Transition Plan Comprehensive Transition Plan will be developed in Fall 2017 • Construction phasing plan will determine which spaces will be offline and when • Will include potential uses for Old Lincoln as a temporary space available Fall 2018 Work being done now to account for growth and begin implementation of Education Plan • 5 spaces to be converted back to their original use as classrooms for 2017-18 • Additional staff to lower class sizes in key areas • New course offerings expand access and focus on innovation/interdisciplinary study • Review of alternative programs beginning in Spring 2017 to assess need for expansion or additional programming 11 • Redefining the administrative and student support structure
