School DataGreenbrier High School opened in 1996 to become Columbia
Countys fourth high school. Set in the northwestern corner of thecounty it was set to accept a growing population as the countycontinued to develop westward and as property around LakeThurmond continued to be developed.
The school is situated in Riverwood Plantation, a community-based
school which was later joined by an elementary and middleschool. For the first 11 years of its existence, traffic was limitedto only one road in and out, leading to a traffic nightmare. In2007, a second road was opened, helping to eliminate the back-ups that occurred every morning and afternoon, and after everylarge school event. In addition to the new road, a zero period was
added for Seniors to help alleviate the overcrowding in the highschool.

School Data - continued
There are at least 3 high schools in the CSRA that share a similar floor plan.Greenbrier was the first, followed quickly by Cross Creek in 1997, and nowColumbia Countys newest school, Grovetown High will share the footprint.Officials have learned that this is a cost effective way to build new schoolsand have used similar plans for several elementary and middle schools asthe sites allow.
Currently Greenbrier is the only AAAAA school in the area. Current enrollmentis about 2130. Because of this GHSA classification, athletic teams musttravel to the Atlanta area (250 miles, round trip) for many away events. Thistravel will continue until the next realignment in 2010.
GHS is currently staffed with 116 full and part-time faculty, 5 administrators,and 6 full and part-time guidance counselors. These numbers will bechanging significantly when the countys newest high school, Grovetown
High, opens in August 2009. Expected staffing numbers are still beingcalculated at this time.

Media Center There is approximately 3600 square feet for student usage, and an
additional 1800 for storage, offices, and work areas. This brings thetotal square footage to approximately 5400. It currently contains 5 offices, a storage room, a server room, and a
media workroom. Two of the current offices were previously aconference room, and a third was a faculty work area.
The media workroom contains 2 computers that floating teachers mayuse during planning.
The media center is staffed by 2 full-time media specialists and a full-time clerk. Parent volunteers are regulars in the media center andschool office.
The media center has 32 computers for general student use, 1 reservedfor special use such as color printing, two for circulation, and two for msusage. The majority of these were supplied with county technology
funds, but several have been purchased using GHS media funds. Currently the book collection is 19,700, but this is expected to change
when a major weed is conducted during the Summer of 2009. Weededbooks will not be replaced until money for the next major replacement isavailable.

Media Center Policies(necessary changes are in
italics)The school library media specialist organizes and facilitates a physical environmentdesigned specifically to meet the learning and information needs of students, teachers,and others with a variety of educational and informational resources that provideaccess to information both within the school and in the local, regional and globalcommunities. (as taken from the Media Center Handbook for Columbia County) The media center operates on a flexible schedule at all times. A calendar is available on the county server for teachers to use when signing up their class to
work in the media center. While this is convenient for the teachers, this makes it almostimpossible for the media specialist to collaborate with teachers. The idea of a calendar placed
in the media center office needs to be reinstated. This would allow for collaboration between
the media specialist and the teachers to take place.
Media Center Hours: Mon., Thurs., Fri. 6:45 a.m. - 3:15 p.m.; Tues., Wed. 6:45 a.m. - 4:00p.m. The media center needs to have hours from 6:45 am until 4:00 pm DAILY. This would
eliminate the problems of trying to remember what day it is and what the hours are for thatparticular day. Saturday hours should be from 8am until 12pm to encourage students to use
the resources more frequently.
When the entire class visits the media center, the teacher maintains responsibility for theclass.

Media Center Policies(necessary changes are in
italics) Students may leave class and visit the media center as long as the teacher gives permission andwrites the student a pass. The student must sign in and sign out of the media center on the loglocated at the circulation desk.
Students may visit the media center during their lunch as long as they obtain a media centerpass from their f4th period teacher. The student must sign in and out of the media center on thelog located at the circulation desk.
Students are able to check out 5 books at a time for a 2 week period. Late fees are $0.10 per
day. Reference materials may be checked out for 1 night only. Students will pay for lost ordamaged books.
A copy machine is available for students for a rate of $0.10 per copy. Students may print their work in the media center. Black and white pictures are $0.25 and text is
$0.10 per page. There is no charge for text printing for students in their with their class. The students have access to the internet as long as an Internet Usage Agreement has been
signed by the students parents. This will be kept on file in the media center. It is school policy that book bags are not allowed in the media center. Book bags need to be
allowed in the media center. A security system at the main entrances would alleviate the problemof students stealing items from the media center or others bookbags.
Students visiting the media center with their class will have priority on the use of the studentcomputers

Since this school is expected to lose AT LEAST 500 students during the next school yearand more the following year, no additions to the existing space have been made. If thiswas not the case additional 2000 square feet would need to be added to meet Georgia
DOE standards. Restrooms handicapped accessible one for staff and one for student use. This would
eliminate students leaving the media center to use restroom and accommodate specialevents. This would also eliminate the need for media staff to go outside the media center.This had been requested by media staff.
Hall book drop requested by those in survey. Location is across from school office. Return conference room to media center. (PT counselor moved to guidance area of
building) This would allow for more small group meetings. Since this room is glassed in
part way on three sides, students could use it fro group projects during normal mediacenter hours. Blinds enclosed within glass would cover these windows allowing for privacyas needed.
Combine MS offices into 1 room. This would allow for better communication betweenmedia faculty .
Move MS office to center of room behind circulation desk eliminates constant going back& forth from office to circulation desk. Office contains windows so that MS could alsomonitor MC from their desk.
Outside door eliminates use of front door during special events. This would also serve asa safety measure by limiting access to rest of building.
Computer classroom for media instruction. Smartboard and LCD projector included.Windows would have enclosed blinds for when room is in use with an adult. Blinds couldbe opened for overflow student usage. (Example: if the classroom is not in use duringlunch periods it can then be used for additional student usage.
Media Center Make-over

22/33
Media Center Make-overcontinued Student computers are aligned so that all monitors face the circulation
desk, minimizing inappropriate behavior. Tables for these would allowcomputers to drop down to allow for a larger work area. Shelf under desktop would allow for CPU to be put out of the work area, yet still remain offthe floor. Table also has an opening to allow for cables to be grouped andplaced out of way eliminating the current wiring mess.
Lounge area has been moved to opposite corner of room, away from thelarge group instruction area to lessen distractions for both groups. Sofa
has been replaced to minimize inappropriate behavior, and additionalindividual seating is added allowing for collaboration. These chairs can bearranged in a variety of ways.
Large rectangular tables have been kept for their flexibility in the room, buthave been rearranged to make the large group meeting area morecompact to lessen distractions from students entering/leaving mediacenter.
Biography book cases have been moved to wall off the large groupmeeting area from the rest of the media center. They are still short enoughto allow for supervision of students at the rectangular tables.
