Manage the pain

Manage the pain is an overall process.

Enrollment question -- is the presumption that we would be laying off 160 teachers. There would be empty classrooms out there. Are they classrooms that are emptied due to 160 teachers being laid off?

Building capacities are somewhat arbitrary. Susan acknowledges that. Using capacity numbers is a slippery slope. Average of 25.5 students per classroom.

All of the numbers are based on 2005 capacities instead of 2008 because we are hoping for additional resources in the future -- not what is projected for 2008. There should still be space available in every one of our buildings -- still not sure how much capacity in the west.

We are underestimating the amount of classroom space that is available.
