~- o-O5:t~+9GIJ.; CIS. 4ill ..zr rooro Jonn ~inH; ,c,o cso ?4,c - 3; SAPFO and Facility Needs / This category addresses new facilities for the District and reviews each project separately. High School no 3 is projected to be bid in March of this year. Present projections have the school coming in over budget, Recent school construction bids have come in higher than the projected $121.01 per squaze foot projection made by the estimators in 7uly of 2004. The recent Orange County Middle School came in over $130.00 per square foot.. An additional $10,00 per square foot construction cost would add $ 1,622,850 to the budget, Elementazy no. 10 is now scheduled to open in August 2009 and a commitment for funding has been expressed by the County Commissioners and manager. With capacity calculated on the basis of 23 students per class in K-3 and using SAPFO projections for growth, the elementazy capacity will pass the SAPFO linrits in 2008-2009.. The First School, a joint project just entering the concept phase, would be a partnership with Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center for a school starting with three year olds and finishing in second grade. The kindergarten, first and second grade classes would constitute half a school with four projected classrooms at each grade. The District still has a need for a new central office facility. Lincoln Center has outgrown its capacity to house the central office administrators and workers who need to be there. When Lincoln was converted to a central office in 1976, there were only 5,300 students in the District, we now approach 11,000 and the number requires additional central office support, Previously some central office staff could be housed in the schools and some still aze, but overcrowding at the school level has forced most of those people out. In response the District is currently renting three different locations to handle the overflow. The 2004-2014 CIP includes funding below the line (unfunded) for a new office facility. The total included in the unfunded section is $6,297,280. The District has recommended the conversion of Lincoln Center back to a school function in future yeazs, That would have to take place afrer a new central office is completed, Lincoln's central location, in close proximity to the LTNC. campus, Franklin Street, the bus line and student bearing neighborhoods, would make an excellent educational facility for students. The District has experienced two years of enrollment decline at the middle school level and a slowing of growth at the elementary level. Those two factors have pushed the need for new middle school capacity unti12014-15. The CII' should recognize the District's commitment to our older facilities and will strive to keep them technologically up to date as well as providing safe and secure learning environments for our students and staff. Mr. Scroggs and Mr. Mullin will be present to answer any questions you may have, Resolution: Be it, therefore, resolved that the Boazd of Education approves the priorities for ClP projects to be forwarded to the BOCC with the above amendments
