2. Relations with the total community and projected developments in those relationships over the years.
3. Change in demographics.
4. Community planning and zoning.
5. Financial ability of the school district.
6. Safety and welfare of the pupils.
7. Relationship between the projected new facilities and those already in existence.
8. True economy reflecting full value for each tax dollar expended.
9. Planting and site aesthetics as they affect the education of students and in keeping with city/county planning ordinances. 10. Input of site-based committees.
