Agenda • Athletic Facilities • Scope of Services and Costs • Kitchens • Scope of Services and Costs Status • New Option Impact • PK, K – 6, and 7 – 8 Grade Arrangement
Kitchens • Physical and equipment condition assessments are complete and are being reviewed by Child Nutrition Services • 25 kitchens are not air-conditioned • Improvements range from expanded kitchen areas, and larger student dining areas to new and upgraded equipment • Fanning Howey and Child Nutrition Services staffs are finalizing the list of kitchen equipment improvements by school
New Option Pre-Kindergarten Centers, Grades K – 6, and Grades 7 - 8 • Approximately 887 Pre-Kindergarten students to be accommodated if Pre-Kindergarten students are removed from elementary schools • Requires 4 to 5 new Pre-Kindergarten Centers to be built or existing facilities converted to PK Centers • Based on existing capacity, utilization, and/or student enrollment, 16 schools would not be able to support a Grade 6 addition.
New Option Pre-Kindergarten Centers, Grades K – 6, and Grades 7 – 8 • If Grade 6 is moved to elementary schools from middle schools, an estimated 1,836 Grade 6 students would have to be accommodated through a combination of utilization of vacant space and school additions. • The removal of Grade 6 from middle schools will result in excess capacity at the middle school level. • Cost savings at the middle school level will be exceeded to construct new Pre-Kindergarten Centers and the addition of classroom space at elementary schools.
New Option Pre-Kindergarten Centers, Grades K – 6, and Grades 7 – 8 • Larger additions may be required for student activity centers and kitchens/student dining than are currently planned for as other options are being considered. • Based on the factors listed above, the planning team would not recommend including this as an option in the final plan.
Next Steps Next Steps • Draft plan will be prepared and presented by July 31st • Board of Directors work session to review the plan on August 14th • Revisions following the work session to be incorporated by the end of August • Community Meetings will be held to present final Facilities Master Plan Recommendations beginning in September
