Programming Documents for Pre-K for SA - The City of San Antonio

main building corridor for easy access to student classrooms when providing
meals and snacks. Mr. Sibille asked if the facility would be serving breakfast
and Mr. Zanoni said yes they would.
• It was discussed that approximately and acre of fenced space would be
necessary for a playground if the facility provided 80 gsf of space for every
student (500 per center).
• Mr. Zanoni indicated at this time they were considering the southwest facility
off I-10 to be the location of the north side center. He stated their was
additional land at the site and the site could house modular buildings if
necessary. Mr. Sibille suggested this be looked at further as daycare spaces
usually require self-containment and they may not be able to house students
in modular classrooms.
• Mr. Zanoni also stated he felt VIA would work with the city to provide free
or reduced fares for parents brining their children to the centers. This would
require a drop-off / pick up bus lane or area to accommodate a VIA bus at
each of the centers.
• It was discussed the southwest site may have parking issues. Mr. Etienne
stated TIA is looking into the parking / traffic implications of the site.
• Mr. Zanoni stated he would provide us the employee counts for the first year
that “Matthew” had provided him. Mr. Zanoni went on to say he thought
there would be:
• Director
• Assistant Directors
• (35) Teachers and (35) Teacher Aides (number may be adjusted
pending number of classrooms required to support 20 students
per class)
• Case Workers
• License Vocational Nurse
• Administrative Assistant
• Mr. Sibille let Mr. Zanoni know that Ms. Rebekah Flores also sent an email
asking for (13) Cubicle Areas for staff involved with Training at all centers
and schools. The building will also house (2) Training Rooms for 50 to 60
individuals.
• Mr. Zanoni suggested the (13) Admin Ms. Hodges was referring to along
with approx (10) District Admin Folks associated with this initiative could all
be housed at the south side center and not at the southwest location because
of space constraints. Mr. Zanoni will provide FPC a list of the approx (10)
District Admin individuals.
• Other suggestions for the facility included a student library / parent resources
center, possibly a gymnasium or gross motor skills area and a few speech
therapy rooms. Mr. Sibille noted the facility will also need a facilities area
for janitorial services and storage.
