Bonnie: If Orange County Schools have a partial rebuild of Central and <br /> close Hillsborough, does that increase capacity or is it a wash? <br /> David: It would essentially be a wash on capacity however adding a new <br /> school in the pipeline prior to the renewal of Central would have added <br /> capacity. Before this project, the new elementary school would be online <br /> to add new capacity and then reshuffle the boundaries accordingly. <br /> David: A relatively small budget has been included for consolidations to <br /> account for any site related removals of existing property to account for all <br /> costs. <br /> Bonnie: We are in middle of major renovations at Efland Cheeks <br /> Elementary School. They are putting in a new HVAC and there is a phased <br /> multi-year plan to upgrade the finishes in every part of the building. <br /> Wondering if it had been considered to move the Efland Cheeks <br /> improvement into this phase one. <br /> Jessica: If that money is already allocated,we would not want that included <br /> in a phase.
