Closed Schools: Impact on Community Usage Page 2 111/1 ANALYSIS I . What is the current facility usage of the gymnasium spaces at the secondary school buildings? School District staff tabulated total gymnasium usage for the four secondary school buildings . The tabulations were based on the available gym spaces which are as follows: Chippewa 3 Edgewood 3 Highview 2 Johanna 3 The available hours of community usage , which are as follows: Weekdays 5:00 - 10:00 p.m. (5 hours) • Saturdays 8:00 - 4:00 p.m. (8 hours) We then based our figures for potential weekday and Saturday usage by multiplying the number of gym spaces by the number of usage hours , by the number of days available. We then compared our potential usage with that of actual usage for all four schools as it currently exists and then drew a comparison of actual school usage with the Edgewood and Johanna gymnasium facilities not available. A third comparison was made showing the peak gymnasium usage time for six months, ranging from October - March which are listed in Addendum B. The final comparison outlined in Addendum C shows the actual gymnasium usage as it compares to the availability of three secondary school facilities. From the charts a number of conclusions may be drawn: 1. On a year round basis the current actual weekday usage will exceed the potential week day usage of Chippewa and Highview by 173 hours assuming optimum school usage which is not feasible. 2. The actual Saturday usage of 1 ,573.5 hours could be met assuming 11111 the optimum usage of Chippewa and Highview with a balance of 82.5 hours which, again , is not realistic.
