Data • Enrollment/Utilization & Condition: *Permanent Capacity Only
Facility Data Planning Area A
Options Packet Current/Projected Data Option Description Option Data Description

B.E.1—Barrington Place, Meadows, Townewest • Facility Issues • Townewest is over-utilized • Meadows & Townewest have high FCIs relative to other FBISD facilities
B.E.1—Barrington Place, Meadows, Townewest Strengths & Challenges • Option 1 • Deficiency and Life Cycle Investment into existing facilities. + low cost - Townewest remains over-utilized • Option 2 • Rebuild Townewest at capacity larger than the current capacity to the District prototype of 850 students. + Relieves over-crowding - Higher capital investment - Swing space during construction
B.E.2—Austin Parkway, Commonwealth, Settlers Way • Facility Issues • Commonwealth is over-utilized • Austin Parkway & Commonwealth have high FCIs relative to other FBISD facilities • Colony Meadows (B.E.3.) is over-utilized and can be provided relief from Commonwealth once New ES is built in Riverstone
B.E.2—Austin Parkway, Commonwealth, Settlers Way Strengths & Challenges • Option 1 • Deficiency and Life Cycle Investments into existing schools • Renovations at Austin Parkway & Commonwealth • Build 1,200 Capacity ES at Riverstone site • Relieve utilization at Commonwealth with Rezone to new ES • Possible (TBD) relief for Colony Meadows into Commonwealth + reduces area over-crowding - Rezoning required - Shared School Site may be a new concept to the Community - Site logistics - Commonwealth ES may not be relieved enough to handle future relief for other elementary schools • Option 2 • Deficiency and Life Cycle Investment • Renovations at Austin Parkway & Commonwealth • Build New ES at Riverstone site (850 prototype) • Relieve utilization at Commonwealth with rezone to new ES at Riverstone + reduces area over-crowding - Rezoning required - Does not provide relief to Settlers Way ES - May not provide enough seats for the long-term
B.E.3—Colony Bend, Colony Meadows • Facility Issues • Colony Meadows is over-utilized and will be more over-utilized with addition of new apartments currently being built by boundary • Colony Bend has approximately 225 students that transfer into the boundary.
B.E.3 (1/2)—Colony Bend, Colony Meadows Strengths & Challenges • Option 1 • Deficiency and Life Cycle Investment • Relief for Colony Meadows by rezoning to other area schools + reduces area over-crowding +can provide a more consistent feeder pattern for this area - Rezoning required - Area remains at/near capacity - Determining which school will provide best option for rezoning • Option 2 • Deficiency and Life Cycle Investment • In anticipation of new apartments currently being developed near Costco, rezone to an area elementary that can accommodate an additional approx. 100 students + reduces area over-crowding - Finding location for Pre-K program - Area remains at/near capacity - Does not provide for feeder pattern consistency
B.E.3 (1/2)—Colony Bend, Colony Meadows Strengths & Challenges • Option 3 • Deficiency and Life Cycle Investment • Rezone apartments at Lexington & Austin into Colony Bend boundary + reduces utilization at Colony Meadows + keeps students in current feeder pattern - Rezoning required - Transfer students at Colony Bend ES - Creating boundary change with least impact on current students • Option 4 • Combination of the Above Options + reduces area over-crowding - Rezoning required - Area remains at/near capacity
B.E.4—Lantern Lane, Palmer, Quail Valley • Facility Issues • Anticipated increased utilization at Lantern Lane ES with the current construction of apartments in the boundary
B.E.4—Lantern Lane, Palmer, Quail Valley Strengths & Challenges • Option 1 • Deficiency and Life Cycle Investment • 10 classroom addition to Lantern Lane + will accommodate growth - Additional capital investment
