  1. 2010 Comprehensive Educational Facilities Master Plan (CEFMP)June 8, 2010

  2. Purpose of Educational Facilities Master Plan • All 24 Maryland school districts must submit Educational Facilities Master Plans (EFMPs) to the State’s Interagency Committee on Public School Construction (IAC) annually on July 1st. • EFMP must reflect current state of & pending changes impacting Baltimore City Public Schools’ (City Schools’) facilities, in relationship to academic programs. • EFMP is intended as a blueprint for determining Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funding requests, submitted each fall. IAC decisions for funding CIP projects are based on data provided in our EFMP. • EFMP is also a repository of all facilities-related data for City Schools: building & program names; ages of buildings; grade ranges; dates of capital improvements (i.e. building additions/renovations, window, roof and door replacements, etc.).

  3. Components of Educational Facilities Master Plan • Per IAC instructions, our EFMP includes documentation of coordination with external agencies and School Board support: • Verification of agreement between City Schools and State Planners on ten-year enrollment projections • Documentation from the local planning agency declaring the EFMP consistent with the City’s comprehensive plan • School Board letter indicating the EFMP is accepted as a working document, as well as a Non-Discrimination statement

  4. Components of Educational Facilities Master Plan • Per IAC instructions, our EFMP also includes detailed information on the following: • Indication of City Schools’ goals, standards and guidelines • descriptions of organizational pattern; staffing ratios; transportation policies; districting and redistricting policies; provisions for Special Education, Alternative Education and Career Technology Education; and school closing procedures • Inventory and evaluation of all City Schools’ facilities • Community analysis • must be provided by local planning agency • Ten-year citywide enrollment projections for all grades • Facility needs analysis • anticipated capital improvement needs for the next several years

  5. Historical Context • 2005 - The IAC recommended that City Schools eliminate excess capacity from total school inventory, or risk losing capital funding. • Facility Solutions planning process evolved from that suggestion, with the School Board committing to the goal of eliminating 15% of City Schools’ inventory. • 2006 – The IAC required that City Schools submit a Comprehensive EFMP (CEFMP) to report our vision of how the school system will look in ten years (including specific building plans), and our plan for attaining that goal. • City Schools submitted first CEFMP, which indicated plans for realigning the school system based on the ten-year plan and process outlined in Facility Solutions. • 2007 - City Schools submitted second CEFMP, which updated plans for right-sizing, with emphasis on the 15% reduction goal. • 2008 - Due to many changes that impacted building closures & facility needs, City Schools submitted a basic one-year EFMP • 2009 - City Schools submitted cEFMP (more comprehensive than an EFMP, with a “one-year-plus” plan for City Schools’ facilities, instead of a 10-year plan) that reflected school changes to be implemented in SY09-10, and explained how decisions about future facilities changes are to be made through the Expanding Great Options (E.G.O.) process.

  6. 2010 Comprehensive EducationalFacilities Master Plan (CEFMP) • 2010 - Plan to submit CEFMP that reports on changes to be implemented in SY10-11, and provides a road map for future E.G.O. actions and facilities decisions. • The 2010 CEFMP: • reiterates the goal of providing a range of school options in communities throughout the City • explains the process by which City Schools arrived at the Expanding Great Options plan • details how, through Expanding Great Options, City Schools will utilize our facilities more efficiently, replace low-performing programs with better programs, increase options of choice for parents & students, and expand the school system’s portfolio. • documents the range of educational options in the nineteen sub-areas that were established under the Expanding Great Options plan • indicates anticipated impacts of Expanding Great Options actions on school facilities (to the greatest extent possible)

  7. Expanding Great Options in the 2010 CEFMP Short-Term Plan (SY09-10) • Close 5 under-performing academic programs(#s46,80,162,209and426) by end of 2009-2010 school year. • Provideturnaroundpartners to low performing schools(#s27,42,75,130,263,430,450). • Expand successful programs that are in demand and/or demonstrate potential(#s31,328,427). • Relocateprogramstooptimizeeducationalofferingsinsub-areas & provide more space (#s328,343,364). • OpennewTransformationSchools(#s374,377,378). Long-Term Plan (SY10-11 and beyond) • Review academic progress of all City Schools’ programs. • Consider citywide needs based on eight decision-making criteria, in context of academic programs’ status. • Assess most efficient uses of existing school facilities and outcomes in above categories over the next several years.

  8. 2010 CEFMP Timeline • May 18, 2010 - Review draft CEFMP with School Board’s Facilities Committee • May 25, 2010 - Present draft CEFMP to School Board as Informational item • June 8, 2010 - Present CEFMP at School Board meeting for vote • June 10, 2010 - Present CEFMP at Planning Commission hearing for vote and letter of approval (Required Element per IAC) • Week of June 21st- Print final version of document • Week of June 28th- Submit 2010 CEFMP to State

  9. Next Steps (following July 1st Submittal) • Secure cooperative use agreements with City Schools’ partners using dedicated space in City Schools buildings. (We must provide agreements to IAC for accurate record-keeping and SRC updates) • Continue SRC reviews of all City schools in order to obtain up-to-date State Rated Capacity and building utilization data. • Continue E.G.O. process: targeting Planning sub-areas that lack full complement of educational options & address under-utilized facilities. • Develop a longer-term view of City Schools’ programs and facilities, for ten-year plan to be reflected in next year’s CEFMP (July 2011).
