ABSTRACT
An Educational Specification Committee was convened to
determine the design specifications required for a new middle school in
Roseville, California's Dry Creek District. This report presents revisions to
an earlier document that examined school room specifications for each grade
level and administrative area. Specification considerations are detailed
(where applicable) for each school area that include assessment points on the
curriculum to be taught, outcomes expected, any discernible educational
trends, the teaching and learning activities under the different-curriculum
areas, orientation and relationships, internal traffic, furniture and
equipment needs, utilities required, any special requirements to become part
of the classroom facilities, storage, and enrollment levels for that grade.
Staff rooms, restrooms, security and custodial areas, outdoor education, and
conference rooms are also detailed. Concluding information lists items that
have been noted through past building experiences that should be reviewed and
considered in the planning phase of the new school.

GENERAL INFORMATION
In 1876 a land grant founded the Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District.
The single school district to the northwest of the city of Roseville has remained
small and rural.
As the 1980's began, signs of development began to appear in the Dry Creek
District. Two major electronic firms constructed manufacturing facilities just to the
north of the district boundaries.
Land use changes within the district required the school district to develop a
facilities master plan in 1984. This master plan matched the plans for residential
development with the need for school facilities within the Dry Creek District.
The master plan indicated that within 20 years a student population of over
5,500 students would occur in the Dry Creek School District.
This enrollment
would require up to 8 new schools.
In order to meet the demands for new
schools, the Dry Creek Board of Trustees began an aggressive funding and
planning program.
The results of these efforts are a Mello/Roos Community Facilities District
whose bonding capacity equals $30,000,000 in Sacramento County, a similar
program in Roseville City, an updated master plan, agreements for long term lease
purchase agreements of school sites, and the determination of grade level
configuration for schools to be built.
During the past several years, the enrollment in the Dry Creek School District
have gone from 222 students in 1986-87 to 320 in 1987-88. Then the enrollment
increased to 439 in school year 1988-89, and 813 students in school year 1989-90.
The new K-5 Heritage Oak Starter School opened in the fall, with a current
enrollment of 387 in 1990. Dry Creek School (K-8) has a current enrollment of 870.
The Board of Trustees authorized an education specification committee for the
district's first middle school. The design will represent and reflect instructional
philosophy and programs developed by the middle school curriculum team. The
collective efforts of the educational specification committee are found in this
report.
The proposed middle school will provide services for 750-900 students with a
grade configuration of sixth through eighth grades. The students will evolve from
a self contained environment to more independent environment prior to graduation
from eighth grade.
