Gaskin and Associates Consulting Group, LLC NNPS proposal October 8 2026 15 Instructional services and facility scale Comparison field Core instruction pilot Satellite section pilot Defined allowance 1 intervention teacher, 0.5 coach, 15 stipends and support 1 classroom teacher for 20 offered seats, 0.5 coach, 15 stipends and support Pupil placement assumption Current host pupils; no additional host enrollment assumed Illustrative 20 occupied seats transferred into host; no division enrollment gain assumed Annual cost and setup Planning allowance $276,000 + $103,500 setup Planning allowance $276,000 + $103,500 setup Instruction still to specify Grades, eligible pupils, unique roster, group sizes and weekly delivered minutes Entry grade, applicants/origins, occupied roster, curriculum and weekly delivered minutes Facility decision No additional host seats assumed filled Small utilization change; no facility solution established Completed host utilization comparison Illustrative host Study pupils / capacity With 20 net additional host pupils Change Additional pupils needed from baseline to reach 80% utilization Newsome Park 445 / 966 465 / 966 = 48.1% 2.1 points 328 Greenwood 477 / 922 497 / 922 = 53.9% 2.2 points 261 The 20-pupil example assumes net additions at the host, not 20 new division pupils. Existing host pupils taking a new program do not raise host enrollment. Newsome Park and Greenwood already have program pathways; this allowance does not price a complete new magnet or a divisionwide reform. [S03, S10, S39] At 20 offered seats, the annual envelope is $13,800 per offered seat; at 15 occupied seats, it is $18,400 per occupied seat. These ratios exclude setup/shared readiness and do not equal cost per unique beneficiary when coaching or intervention reaches others. Count unique pupils and actual minutes before evaluating value. A teacher cannot simultaneously fill the satellite classroom and a full intervention assignment. A pilot must specify qualification, timetable, coach caseload and outcome measurement. A favorable instructional result would support that service; it would not by itself establish a facility consolidation.
