Big Walnut School DistrictBoard of Education Meeting
June 9, 2008
Background Elementary and Middle Schools at
Current Capacity
District Survey indicates community largely recognizes situation
Data indicates both an elementary and middle school facility are needed
Current Facility Capacities and Enrollment
Building Capacity
Modulars/ Rental Capacity
Total Capacity
Enrollment (02/08)
HSE 265 50 315 358
BWE 405 100 505 489
Souders 407 48 455 429
BWMS 650 650 678
BWHS 1300 1300 900
Total Elementary (P-5) 1275 1276
What do the Projections mean?? High: High historic projection, plus about
80% of builders projections Moderate: High historic projections, plus
about 40% of builders projections Low: Moderate historic projections, plus
about 20% of builders projections
It is possible for higher than projected enrollments if significant subdivisions are proposed beyond what we know about
Historic Enrollment Projections DeJong and Assoc. developed statistical
model based on : Live birth data Historical enrollment Historical housing information

Actual Students
Temporary Space Modulars and rental space are
usable, but not optimal teaching space
Assumption: These facilities will be used as needed, for as long as they remain viable
Evaluation for Expansion Souders Elementary
Best potential for expansion, but furthest distance from current demand
Shared spaces at capacity Utilities at capacity
Big Walnut Elementary Site access is limited (single entry/exit) Shared spaces at capacity Utilities at capacity
Evaluation for Expansion Harrison Street
Site too small Structure older Utilities at capacity
Middle School Shared spaces at capacity Insufficient land available Utilities only designed for current capacity
What have we learned? Renovations or additions are not feasible
Based on the survey results, the community is aware of the need for more classrooms, and sees the need as serious in the near future
Community top concerns: Overcrowded schools Large class sizes Decline of quality in the academic program
Based on projections, 2 new schools are needed
Analysis of OptionsHow to accommodate the projected growth?1. Brainstormed options2. Narrowed to 5, varying grade levels and
priority3. Elementary was needed first4. New elementary of similar size to current
would not last past 20115. Need to move 5th grade out or build 3
schools.
Options ConsideredA. Build a new elementary, BWMS becomes a
school for grades 5-6 and build a new school for grades 7-8
B. Build a new elementary and a new middle school, keeping grade distributions the same
C. Build a new elementary and a new middle school, with both middle schools having grades 5-8.
Recommended option: A Build a new elementary, BWMS becomes a school for grades 5-6 and build a new school for grades 7-8
Most efficient use of new space in short and medium term (5 yrs)
Provides capacity to get through at least 2013 school year based on current projections
Minimizes redistricting -- limits to the elementary level
Buildings in Option A New K-4 Elementary*: 500 Students
(Existing elementary schools become K-4)
Current BWMS becomes intermediate school: Students from grades 5-6 district-wide
New Middle School Building: 700 Students capacity for grades 7-8
*First year is K-5
Existing LandAssets
Land Requirements Elementary –
20 acres Location depends on demand
Middle School 40 acres Location depends on grade usage
Land Next Steps Committee recommendation is to use the S.
Miller Drive property for immediate elementary school need
Middle School – District is currently seeking donations and evaluating potential sites
Interested parties may contact Superintendent 740-965-2706
Building Cost Estimates Elementary
OSFC* : 120 sq. ft per student Capacity 500 Estimated cost per sq. ft. $182 Estimated Total cost: $10.9 M
Middle School OSFC* - 140 -150 sq. ft. per student Capacity 700 Estimated cost per sq. ft. $182 Estimated Total Cost: $17.8 - $19.1 M
*OSFC - Ohio School Facilities Commission
Est. Elementary Building Timeline 20 months from bond passage to usage of
elementary November 2008 passage August 2010
usage 2010 Elementary 100-211 students over capacity Will be using about 75% of elementary capacity
when moves are complete May 2009 passage January 2011 usage
2011 Elementary 140-291 students over capacity Will be using about 80% of elementary capacity
when moves are complete
Est. Middle School Building Timeline 24-32 months from bond passage to usage
of middle school November 2008 passage August 2011
usage 2011 Middle School 30-109 students over
capacity Will be using about 70% of combined capacity
when complete May 2009 passage January 2012 usage
2012 Middle School 43-144 students over capacity
Will be using about 75% of combined capacity when complete
Summary Recommended option provides for
projected district growth through 2013-14 Takes into account district survey results
of community urgency and desire to be proactive
Minimizes redistricting Moving 5th graders out of elementary
buildings maximizes use of all building resources
