The addition of a new building is intended to assist in the retention of students through the eighth grade, therefore, the school is expected to increase in student enrollment by ten to fifteen students, through new enrollments for kindergarten only. Moreover, the Applicant proposes to maintain existing school operations. Table 3 below contains the breakdown of the existing hours of operation for the private school. Table 3: Project Location and Information Hours of Operation Type of Use Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. School’s administrative offices Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Regular school hours (Pre-K to Eighth Grade) Monday through Friday 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Afterschool activities (i.e., sports and enrichment activities) and aftercare The regular school year begins the third week of August and ends the following year in June. In addition to the regular school year, the school offers summer camp that operates from July to August for approximately one month for reduced hours, for children between pre-kindergarten and fifth grade. The introduction of the middle school will allow students in sixth and seventh grade to attend summer camp operations as well. As part of its operations, the private school staggers the recess time for students of all grade levels. The school offers recess from 10:00 a.m. to 10:20 a.m. for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten, 12:00 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. for first through fourth grades, and 12:45 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. for fifth through sixth grades. The recess breaks will continue to remain staggered to ensure that there are no noise concerns from adjacent properties, and the new seventh and eighth grades will have recess from 12:45 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The private school’s curriculum requires students in fifth through eighth grades to attend one religion class per week at the church located on the same campus. These classes will be scheduled exclusively during regular school hours as outlined and will not overlap with the church’s worship services or special events. The church will continue to operate during its normal hours, including weeknights, Sundays, and holidays. As such, the religion classes will remain fully compatible with church operations and will not generate conflicts in scheduling or use of facilities.
