671 370-A-2 It would be very difficult for my school to be able to accommodate this regulation once it is approved.  There needs to be something to give leeway to programs who already have established instructional area's that do not meet the 50 square feet per person criteria.  This would be a major cost to many programs to update their physical plant to meet this requirement.  There needs to be some sort of grandfather clause that states established classrooms do not need to meet this requirement, however, future renovations or buildings need to.  This would be easy to regulate because our schools are required to submit any program or building changes to the VDOE and it must be approved before it can be done.
