HAPEL HILL— 2a <br />Older Facility Recommendations 3 <br />ORO and the 2015 -25 CIP <br />CITY SCHOOLS <br />Key Elements of Older Facility Recommendations <br />(included in the 2015 -25 CIP Recommendation) <br />The recommendations are for a comprehensive program that focuses on the district's <br />ten oldest schools that accommodate almost 50% of district students. <br />Facility recommendations include: <br />✓ Correction of building code violations; <br />✓ Improved safety by consolidating operations and controlling entry; <br />✓ Indoor air quality deficiencies and health concerns addressed; <br />✓ Replacement of malfunctioning mechanical equipment; <br />✓ Relief of traffic congestion problems; <br />✓ Deconstruction of some inefficient buildings; <br />✓ Extending the life of the schools. <br />Implementation of the recommendations eliminate mobile classrooms (also in need of <br />renovations) while providing additional student capacity. <br />✓ Elementary school capacity increase = 555. <br />✓ High school capacity increase = 230 +/- <br />Increased student capacity would result in deferment of new elementary school and <br />high school additions well beyond the ten -year CIP window. <br />✓ Board requesting the redirection of $57.6 million in projected capital expenditures <br />for new schools towards "Phase 2" older facility recommendations. <br />✓ Delays significant operational increases with opening a new school. <br />• Bond funds and future capital funds directed to the ten oldest schools will make <br />available CIP (Paygo) revenue for needed maintenance at district's other "newer" <br />schools that are 20 -30 years of age. <br />X20;. _ <br />� x <br />rFdvca .r <br />Chapel Hill- Carrboro City Schools <br />750 S.
