Today at the usual hour we review a selection of global building codes and standards that guide best practice for safety, accessibility, and functionality for day care facilities; with special interest in the possibilities for co-locating square footage into the (typically) lavish unused space in higher education facilities.

Chandler High School

4-H is a U.S.-based network of youth organizations whose mission is “engaging youth to reach their fullest potential while advancing the field of youth development”. Its name is a reference to the occurrence of the initial letter H four times in the organization’s original motto head, heart, hands, and health, which was later incorporated into the fuller pledge officially adopted in 1927.  In the United States, the organization is administered by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture of the United States Department of Agriculture.

Traditionally favored by private and parochial institutions, school uniforms are being adopted by US public schools in increasing numbers.

School uniforms were most frequently required by elementary schools (23%), followed by middle (18%), and high schools (10%). (Encyclopedia Britannica)

Compulsory Attendance

Black River Public School | Kent County Michigan

THE REVISED SCHOOL CODE

Michigan’s compulsory school attendance laws, outlined in the Revised School Code (MCL 380.1561), mandate that children aged 6 to 18 attend school regularly, ensuring access to education and promoting academic success. The law requires attendance in a public school, charter school, private school, or approved homeschool program until the child graduates high school or reaches 18. For children aged 6 to 16, attendance is strictly compulsory, with exceptions for those completing high school early. After age 16, students may withdraw with parental consent, but alternative education options are encouraged.

Parents or guardians are responsible for ensuring compliance, and non-attendance may result in truancy proceedings, including fines or court intervention. Schools must monitor attendance, report truancy, and provide support to address barriers like transportation or health issues. Exemptions exist for religious beliefs or specific disabilities, provided educational alternatives meet state standards. Local districts may enforce additional policies to support consistent attendance.

“Summer Suns Are Glowing”

Ruth 1 | King James Version

Written by William Walsham How in 1871 for the Church Hymns collection, this Christian standard is a celebration of God’s creation and love, set to the tune “Ruth” by Samuel Smith (1865). How, an Anglican bishop known for his pastoral work, crafted the hymn to reflect the joy of summer, with its vibrant imagery of glowing suns, flowing light, and nature’s voices uniting in praise.

The hymn’s four stanzas emphasize God’s mercy, eternal love, and guidance through life’s challenges, urging steadfast faith even in dark times. Its meaning centers on gratitude for divine providence, the beauty of creation, and trust in God’s presence, with the final stanza affirming hope in eternal light.

Published in over 239 hymnals, it remains a cherished expression of summer’s warmth and spiritual reassurance.
