What did you approve in Measure R ? • New construction/Acquisition projects ($1.857B) • Repair, Upgrade, and Modernization projects ($1.563B) - Specified projects - Projects of certain types Jan 31, 2005
What we committed to… • A Plan • Engaging Stakeholders • Strategic Execution Plan Jan 31, 2005
General Process • Some Projects Already Identified • Other Projects Need to be identified Jan 31, 2005
Project types: • Major repair ($315M) • Core Facilities ($300M) • Small Learning Communities ($88M) Jan 31, 2005
Identify the Remaining Projects Sorting Process Confirm Priorities Possible Major Repair Projects List Citizen’s Bond Oversight Committee & Board of Education June 2005 Strategic Execution Plan Possible Core Facilities Projects List Possible Small Learning Communities Projects List Community Review Jan 31, 2005
Methodical Process • Assess the Needs • Condition of Buildings • Safety / Building Code Compliance • Functionality Jan 31, 2005
1. Major Repair Jan 31, 2005
Prioritizing Major Repair Needs • Assess the Condition of the Facilities • Determine the Facilities Condition Index (FCI) The Higher the FCI: The Higher the Repair Needs Jan 31, 2005
Facilities Condition Index (FCI) DISTRICT CLASSROOM BLDG Cost of Needed Repairs $22,500 FCI = = 0.14 = Current Replacement Value $160,000 Jan 31, 2005
Approach: • Allocate funds to achieve consistent level of repair across District • Projects selected per weighted scores in the following categories: • Immediate health and safety • Code compliance and liability • Asset safeguards and deterioration • Age and aesthetics Jan 31, 2005
2. Core Facilities Sanitary Facilities Food Service Kitchen / Cafeteria Multi-Purpose Rooms Lunch Shelters Libraries Administrative Offices Gymnasiums Auditoriums Playgrounds Parking Jan 31, 2005
Campus Ranking by Need Survey the Core Facilities Compare Existing Facility to New School Facility Prioritize the Needs by: Category of the Facility (cafeteria, library, etc.) Deficiency of the Facility (missing or too small) Jan 31, 2005
Category PrioritiesHigher Category – More Points 1. Code Compliance & Life-Safety Requirements 2. Sanitary Facilities, Food Preparation, Food Serving, Indoor Dining/Multi-Purpose Room 3. Library, Administration Space, Lunch Shelter 4. Gymnasium, Auditorium, Playground, Parking Jan 31, 2005
Deficiencies in FacilitiesLess Space / Greater Need – Higher Deficiency Factor Missing Core Facility – Maximum Deficiency Factor 100% of New School Facility - No Deficiency Factor Jan 31, 2005
76% Proposed Funding Distribution by Core Facilities Category • 76% for Missing or Extremely Deficient Core Facilities • 12% for Food Services Modernizations • 12% for Local District Determined “Needs-Based” Modernization 12% 12% Jan 31, 2005
3. Small Learning Communities Jan 31, 2005

Potential Projects: • Space conversions • Specialty classrooms (multimedia production, performing arts) • Decentralized core curriculum classrooms (science, computer labs) • Teachers’ meeting/work rooms • Support Staff/Admin. space • New buildings and additions Jan 31, 2005
Priority Criteria: • Planned Instructional Programs • API Score • Program Improvement Status • Calendar • Student Population • Single-Track Capacity • New School Impact on Population • Number of SLCs planned Jan 31, 2005
Delivery Plan: • Assessment / Scope Definition (Nov 04 – May 05) • School conversion requests • Scope review, estimates, and prioritization • Approval by Superintendent • Bond Oversight Committee review • Board of Education approval • Design / Construction Jan 31, 2005
In Conclusion… Jan 31, 2005
What will we accomplish? • Continuation of Proposition BB & Measure K • Will not fix everything • These objective processes will address the most critical needs • Other Critical Needs will Remain Jan 31, 2005
Next Steps… • Identify specific projects • Brief Communities on the Results of the Process • Identify Costs & Schedules • Incorporate in the Strategic Execution Plan • Bond Oversight Committee review • Board Approval • Design & Construct Projects Jan 31, 2005
