City of Edmonds Attn: Development Services 1215 th Ave North Edmonds, WA 98020 Subject: RESUBMITTAL - Necessity of Portable Classrooms at Sherwood Elementary School To whom it may concern, In response to the City of Edmonds Municipal Code 17.100 Community Facilities, paragraph L. Schools, the Edmonds School District has a need for two portable classrooms at Sherwood Elementary School to support capacity needs related to a state mandated reduction in class sizes (student/ teacher ratio). Sherwood Elementary's current student population is 471. The design capacity of Sherwood Elementary is 380 with 20 built classrooms, all of which are occupied. One portable classroom was added last year to support reduced class sizes for a student teacher ratio of 25:1 down to 20:1. The student population at Sherwood continues to increase creating the need for additional classroom space. In order to successfully accomplish the educational mission and objectives of the District in accordance with applicable state and federal statues, regulation and guidelines, the District would like to provide two additional portable classrooms to provide the appropriate classroom space to accommodate reduced class sizes. I hope this helps better support the need for two portable classrooms. Please don't hesitate with any questions regarding this matter. Sincerely, d Matt Finch Design & Construction Manager Edmonds School District Capital Projects Office o: (425) 431-7167
