8. In accordance with IC 2046-7-10, SBCSC properly conducted a feasibility study, held public hearings, and heard public testimony on using a twelve (12) month school term rather than expanding classroom space. This feasibility study was completed on April 23, 2007 by Hebard & Hebard. The hearings on year round school were conducted on June 4, 2007 and June 18, 2007. It was determined by SBCSC that year round school would not affect the need for the Project.
