School Plant

Refers to school facilities of the school consisting of the site, buildings and other structure, equipment. and furniture.

The term physical facilities, Educational facilities and Equipment, as they are applied to the school, denote any of the components of the school plant.

A. Physical facilities Management--Acquisition of School Sites

1. By purchase2. By donation3. By appropriation4. By barter or exchange5. By Presidential Proclamation6. By gratuitous conveyance

PurchaseThe parties involved are the seller called

vendor and the buyer called vendee.

donationThe parties involved are the donor who is

the giver and the donee or the receiver of the benefits or beneficiary. Donation maybe simple, conditional, intervivos or mortis

causa.

Simple Donation—is one whereby a person disposes gratiously of a piece of land in favor of the municipality,

city, province or the Republic f Philippines.

Conditional Donation – is one, which imposes a condition such as “that the land should be

devoted only for education purposes”. In such case, the donation maybe revoked the

moment the condition or use by reason for which it was donated is changed.

Inter vivos donation—takes effect during the lifetime of the donor. When the donation takes

effect only after the donor’s death, it is referred to as mortis

causa.Expropriation– Land desired for school

purposes maybe acquired through condemnation proceedings or

expropriation.

1. A Sketch of the school site in the city/municipality or barangay proposed for expropriation must be prepared. The sketch should

indicate the location and the land area of the sites,

boundaries, roads, streets, or trails or other improvement.

2. The District Health Officer’s certification as to the sanitary condition of the school site should be obtained.

3. A school official’s certification that the site is deal for school purposes is likewise necessary.

4. A certification to the effect that the funds for the purpose are available is similarly needed.

5. A certification by the DAR office that the lot is not tenanted or

covered by agrarian reform CARP.

Barter or Exchange

An existing school site may be changed for

justifiable reasons.

Planning Standards for School Facilities

The preferred way of expressing minimum standards is regulating minimum space per pupil.

Minimum Standards listed hereunder apply only to buildings and the sites for elementary and secondary schools.1. obviously, school facilities must be planed for the instructional program.

2. School facilities must also be planned for flexibility to anticipate educational as well as social change.

3. An equally important principle is that the school involves people.4. The scarcity of resources relative to wants and needs makes it imperative that the only spaces for which validated functions can be specified be planned into school facilities.

MAINTENANCE OF SCHOOL PLANT1. Keep informed about the work schedule andspecific responsibilities of each member of the custodial staff.2. Tour the school building and grounds regularly for the purpose of observing the extent to which they are being kept clean and in good repair.3. Design some methods or procedure for student teachers or others to bring to the attention of the school administrator any problem in plant and ground maintenance.4. Develop a good working relationship with the custodian staff or utility workers.

School Plant Planning

1. Define the educational objectives and the programs and activities which will be implemented in order to achieve those objectives.

2. Involvement in the planning of the new facility, the support of the people from within and outside the school must by all means be solicited.

Elementary School Sites Standard Requirements

Site– the size of the site must meet the requirements of enrolment and kind of school as well as the recreational needs

of the pupils.1. One half hectare (1/2 Ha) for barrio school,

which has only 1 or 2 classes and no grade above Grade IV.

2. One hectare (1 Ha.) for a central school, which has six classes, or for non-Central school, which

has three or 4 classes.

3. Two hectares (2Ha.) for schools, which have seven or nine classes.

4. Three hectares (3 Ha.) for schools, which have from 10 or 12 classes

5. Four hectares (4 Ha.) for schools, which have more the 12 classes.

However, for special case, where there is difficulty in meeting above standards, the following may be

allowed.

A. For Rural Areas½ hectare fro central school, which has six classes, fro non-central school, which has 3-4 classes. 1 ½ hectares for schools which have 7-10 classes. 2 hectares for schools which have been 10 classes.

B. For Urban Areas

½ hectare for 6-10 classes. ¾ of a hectare for 11-20 classes. 1 hectare for 20 or more classes.
