If you need further <br />explanation, please let me know. As always, we look forward to the opportunity to have open <br />discussion about the importance of educating the youth of our community. <br />Significant Elements of 2000 -2010 CEP — As the Commissioners are aware, the major portion <br />of our CIP will provide the 12.5 million to match the funding secured from the passage of the <br />last bond to build a new high school in our district. However, the Technology funding will <br />remain consistent throughout the ten -year projection, and we have various projects such as <br />energy management upgrades, renovations at Orange High School, re- roofing projects, and <br />preparing for three of our schools that will reach fifty years of service in 2008. <br />New Middle School — We have shared with the Commissioners before our need for a new <br />middle school. It has also been added to our CIP as an unfunded item. We are appreciative of <br />the new elementary and high schools, and the next logical step would be a middle school. A. L. <br />Stanback Middle School is currently approaching capacity and a mobile unit was placed on site <br />for the 1999 -2000 school year. C. W. Stanford Middle School, which currently has three <br />mobile units and we could possibly be requesting two more for next year, has been over <br />capacity for the past three years. I would also mention that the Building Capacity and <br />Program Capacity are two different items. The Program Capacity is really reducing the <br />space in our schools. I will be glad to give further explanation on Monday night. <br />Department of Public Instruction's Middle School Projections for OCS: <br />Year <br />Enrollment Projections <br />1999 -2000 <br />1412 <br />2000 -2001 <br />1485 <br />2001 -2002 <br />1546 <br />
