Sees variance between facility and programing needs and feels Woolpert <br /> considered those differences in their capacity. Need a balance between <br /> Woolpert and OREd. Woolpert is not needed each year—maybe 4 years. <br /> Jean: Introduction of Dr.Danielle Jones,new Superintendent of Orange County <br /> Schools. <br /> Dwayne: Woolpert recommendation is in alignment with what is needed by the <br /> Orange County School District of what is needed and what is projected for <br /> future in terms of new and renovation standpoint. <br /> Jean: Was CHCCS Board Member in early 2000s in time of growth. Sees a lot <br /> of growth in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. We may generate more students with <br /> apartment complexes so wanted to make sure that OREd has considered that <br /> growth. <br /> Rani: Understands that OREd does not want to share inner workings of their <br /> model but as a School Board Member would like to see the primary inputs such <br /> as how the model operates, which Partner Groups they are getting data from, <br /> and updates on timing so that the Board can have confidence in the information <br /> use it to inform their communities. Also, important to have projections on cost <br /> for updating the model for planning purposes. With each renovation, the <br /> district will keep in mind how they impact capacity and if there are <br /> opportunities to expand even if not building new schools. <br /> Kirk: Every few years there is a slight increase in OREd cost for land use <br /> projections. Currently it is $35,000 for land use projections for both school <br /> districts. They update the enrollment data in the between years at approximately <br /> $5,000. <br /> Bonnie: There are currently multiple sets of numbers running and it would be <br /> nice to reconcile those. OCS is currently in the process of redistricting. They <br /> have different SAPFO numbers and adjustments for Pre-K, Inclusion EC, and <br /> Specials. Need to come to agreement on how to define school capacity. <br /> Rani: Thought that those school spaces were already calculated as part of the <br /> SAPFO update. <br /> Kirk: OCS modified SAPFO for those capacity adjustments. The Woolpert <br /> capacity figures have those built in. <br /> Bonnie: Woolpert has SAPFO and adjustment for Pre-K. OCS adjusts for Pre- <br /> K and Inclusion EC and Specials. That took our capacity down about 10%. <br /> Would like to agree on one set of numbers to use in model. <br />
