A year-long study of the communities encompassed by the New Caney Independent School District in Montgomery County, Texas, was conducted by the College of Education at the University of Houston. Educational facilities and program were surveyed. Planning data included--description of district, land usage, pupil residence, population density and trends, financial ability, and evaluations of existing plants and the transportation system. Data projected--future enrollment, plant utilization, and program. The educational specifications detail the educational requirements for the school plant as a whole and for each department of the secondary school specifically, in terms of: space needs, program to be accommodated, pupil load and activities, relationships to space, and special facilities. Administrators and faculty contributed to these specifications. General standards and departmental requirements are given to serve as the guideline for the architect. The final section of this report gives planning guidelines for the Board of Education. (RH)
