This publication was prepared for the Alaska Department of Education in order to supplement units C and E of the 1976 "Guide for Planning Educational Facilities." It is intended to provide school districts with process guidelines for community participation in the planning of school facilities, particularly small secondary school facilities. In addition, it presents recommended square footage guidelines for schools of various sizes, including small secondary school facilities. The processes presented for identifying educational goals and prioritizing educational programs are based on adaptations of the Phi Delta Kappa model for developing educational goals and objectives. All the processes described are designed for self-instructional use by school officials and citizens in rural education attendance areas. Separate sections focus in turn on processes for identifying educational goals, processes for determining school enrollment, processes for conducting an inventory of school-community resources, processes for identifying and prioritizing educational needs, and recommended space allocations for school facilities. Much of the publication consists of sample forms and documents for use in carrying out the various planning processes. (Author/JG)
