Synopsis

A detailed look at how a major city planned its school building program in 1917, including costs, bonds, and the shift to new capacity methods.

The book analyzes proposals for a five-year program to expand and improve public schools, with specific bond plans and site purchases. It explains the rationale behind shifting to new capacity strategies and how the plan would be phased over two and three year periods, based on expected enrollment growth.

  • Learn how the five-year program was structured, including bond amounts, site purchases, and projected costs.
  • See the methods considered to increase classroom capacity, such as the “seat per pupil” approach and the shift system.
  • Understand how kindergartens, new buildings, and additions to existing schools fit into the plan.
  • Discover how city planners weighed risks, timelines, and funding to support future growth.
Ideal for readers of historical urban policy, public education planning, and early 20th-century city administration.
