  1. Sandusky City Schools’ Transformation Sub-Committee “The Future of School Facilities”Briefing Document for Community Forum

  2. Finances (how much will it cost?) • Configuration (how many schools do we need?) • What happens to Sandusky High School? • What about historical buildings? • Will parents and citizens have input in the decisions? • What is the timeline for the Board to make decisions about school facilities? • How can I give my opinion about our schools and what we are doing?

  3. Financing School Facilities • In Our District • Cost-Sharing with OSFC as Historic Option • Our current cost share is 54/46 (OSFC picks up 54% and Sandusky citizens would pick up 46%) • How is this cost-sharing percentage determined and how can it change? • Is this similar to a home mortgage?

  4. School Configuration • How will we determine how many schools we will need based on our projected enrollment? • What impact will the Pre-K-16 Model impact our facilities decisions? • Is there one-campus proposal that will be considered? • What are the budget implications of rebuilding new versus renovating a building?

  5. Historic Buildings • What are the implications for historic school buildings in the district? • Can we partner with other community groups or agencies regarding the potential use of buildings in the district? • Is there a role for Historical groups and agencies in a potential building program in the district?

  6. KEY TERMS FOR OUR FACILITIES CONVERSATION • Locally Funded Initiative (LFI): This is any portion of a project that is solely funded by the district as an addition to the master plan. The OSFC will work with the district to integrate LFIs into the overall master plan but will not share the cost of the additional items. • 2/3 Guideline: The guideline that sets the replace versus renovate standard for school facilities at two thirds of the cost of a new building. • 350 Rule: A provision of the Ohio Revised Code requiring a minimum of 350 students in any building co-funded by the OSFC. The commission may grant waivers to this requirement under certain circumstances.

  7. KEY TERMS FOR OUR FACILITIES CONVERSATION • Cafetorium: A space that combines the eating and performance areas of a building. These spaces have flat floors. • Maintenance Plan: A comprehensive plan for the long-term care and upkeep of every building in the school district. This is a requirement for all districts participating in OSFC programs. • Ohio School Design Manual (OSDM): An extensive document that sets construction standards for all OSFC projects to ensure statewide equity and quality for school facilities.

  8. Parents and Citizens • Participation Opportunities • Suggestion Box at Each School • 24 Hour Email and Phone Response • Talk to Building Principals • Email the CEO Directly • Transformation Committee Pillars and Sub-Committee Meetings • Community Forums • Placards at Each School
