Methodical Process

• Assess the Needs

– Condition of Buildings

– Safety / Building Code Compliance

– Functionality

Jan 31, 2005

1. Major Repair

Jan 31, 2005

Prioritizing Major Repair Needs

• Assess the Condition of the Facilities

• Determine the Facilities Condition Index (FCI)

The Higher the FCI: The Higher the Repair Needs

Jan 31, 2005

Facilities Condition Index (FCI)DISTRICT CLASSROOM BLDG

Building Needs: Cost of repair:

Re-roof $12,000

Re-Paint Exterior $2,500

New Energy Efficient Lighting $8,000

Total $22,500

Current Building Replacement Value $160,000

FCI =Cost of Needed Repairs

Current Replacement Value =

$22,500

$160,000 = 0.14

Jan 31, 2005

Approach:

• Allocate funds to achieve consistent level of repair across District

• Projects selected per weighted scores in the following categories:– Immediate health and safety– Code compliance and liability– Asset safeguards and

deterioration– Age and aesthetics

Campus Ranking by Need

Survey the Core Facilities

Compare Existing Facility to New School Facility

Prioritize the Needs by:Category of the Facility (cafeteria, library, etc.)Deficiency of the Facility (missing or too small)

Jan 31, 2005

Category PrioritiesHigher Category – More Points

1. Code Compliance & Life-Safety Requirements

2. Sanitary Facilities, Food Preparation, Food Serving, Indoor Dining/Multi-Purpose Room

3. Library, Administration Space, Lunch Shelter

4. Gymnasium, Auditorium, Playground, Parking

3. Small Learning Communities

Jan 31, 2005

Program Objectives:

• Conversion of existing High Schools and Middle Schools

• Personalized learning environments of 350-500 students

• Supports Autonomy of Space and Scheduling

Jan 31, 2005

Potential Projects:

production, performing arts) – Decentralized core curriculum

classrooms (science, computer labs)

– Teachers’ meeting/work rooms – Support Staff/Admin. space

• New buildings and additions

Jan 31, 2005

Priority Criteria:

• Planned Instructional Programs• API Score• Program Improvement Status • Calendar • Student Population • Single-Track Capacity• New School Impact on Population • Number of SLCs planned

Jan 31, 2005

Delivery Plan:

• Assessment / Scope Definition (Nov 04 – May 05)

– School conversion requests – Scope review, estimates, and prioritization– Approval by Superintendent– Bond Oversight Committee review– Board of Education approval

• Design / Construction

Jan 31, 2005

In Conclusion…

Jan 31, 2005

What will we accomplish?

• Continuation of Proposition BB & Measure K

• Will not fix everything

• These objective processes will address the most critical needs

• Other Critical Needs will Remain

Jan 31, 2005

Next Steps…

• Identify specific projects• Brief Communities on the Results of the

Process• Identify Costs & Schedules• Incorporate in the Strategic Execution Plan• Bond Oversight Committee review• Board Approval• Design & Construct Projects
