Room P-10 will only be used in the afternoons, after 11:30 AM, and Room P-9 is available all day.
The program is operating at a functioning elementary school site (Ellis Elementary School) and thus is exempt from the indoor and outdoor square footage requirements, fencing requirements, toilet/sink ratios, and isolation area requirements. No measurements were taken of the indoor and outdoor spaces during today's inspection.
