Project List Recommendations

A project list was recommended for architectural study to address school sites with a Facility Master Plan condition score under 70, and recommendations in response to the feedback obtained after the April 2017 election including:

1. Analyze renovation versus new construction costs
2. Eliminate the combination campus concept
3. Provide clarity for identifying where school buildings will be located
4. Provide clarity regarding the expansion plan for Early Childhood Education
5. Provide projected feeder pattern impacts of the projects to be studied
6. Provide estimated attendance boundary changes of the projects to be studied
7. Provide future use for building/sites that were available for repurpose

Feb. (first week) - Preliminary discussion on scope of work with architectural firms.  Conversations with leaders/staff affected by school consolidation.

Bissett - Study renovation versus new construction for 350 student elementary school.  Will result in boundary change and consolidation with York.  Current Enrollment: 244

Boyd - Study renovation versus new construction costs for 300 student elementary school.  If new construction, secure location in Midtown region.  Results in slight boundary changes with Weller.  Current Enrollment: 175

Campbell - Beginning with the 2018-2019 school year, reassign Campbell students to McGregor, increasing enrollment to approximately 350 students in a 390 capacity building.  Students would attend Westport Middle School and Parkview High School.  Repurpose the Campbell building for an ECC for an interim number of years to capitalize on the new funding available from the State of Missouri.  Facility would be used as is, with limited investment of funds.  Current Enrollment: 133

York - Study renovation versus new construction costs on current site to function as a 250 student ECC to serve Pre-K students for new Bissett, Delaware, new McGregor, Rountree, Sunshine, Weaver, Westport after York consolidates with Bissett.  Current Enrollment: 232

New or renovated ECCs would serve as regional Parents as Teachers (PAT) hubs.

Bingham - Study renovation versus new construction for 450 student elementary school on current site.  Current Enrollment: 436

Robberson - Study renovation versus new construction costs on current site or site in the area that would allow for a 350 student elementary school.  The Robberson recommendation, coupled with the Williams recommendation, would result in boundary shifts with current Bowerman and Williams and repurposing of Bowerman to Early Childhood Center (ECC).  Current Enrollment: 222

Bowerman - Study renovation versus new construction cost on current site to function as a 250 student ECC to serve pre-kindergarten (Pre-K) students for Boyd, Fremont, Pleasant View, new Robberson, Truman, Watkins, and Williams.  Current Enrollment: 253

Watkins - Study cost for small addition to increase site capacity from 321 to 350 students.  Current Enrollment: 274

Williams - Study renovation versus new construction costs for 350 student elementary school on current site.  Will result in some boundary shifts with current Bowerman and Watkins.  Bowerman facility would be repurposed to ECC.  Current Enrollment: 298
