Section R7-6-745. Science Facilities

A.      A school facility with students in grades 5 through 12 shall have classroom space to deliver practical science instruction, or classroom space for an alternate science delivery method.

For grades 9 through 12, 10 square feet per student of practical and instructional science space is required. The space shall not be smaller than the average classroom at the facility. This space is separate and distinct from the academic classroom requirement and may not be used for other instruction.

B.       A school facility with students in grades 5 through 12 that delivers practical science instruction shall have science fix- tures and equipment, in accordance with R7-6-746 as modified from time to time. If an alternate science delivery method is used by the ASDB, a school facility shall have science fixtures and equipment for students in grades 5 through 12 that are an alternate equivalent to the science fixtures and equipment identified in R7-6-746.
