Assessments & Findings

4

Assessments & Findings * Buildings lack mechanical ventilation and filtration. Opening

windows is not best practice for providing clean, fresh air to

classrooms.

▪ 2018 - 2019 Safety & Security Bond Planning

▪ 2020 State Education Department (SED) Building Conditions Survey, Unsatisfactory, Non-functioning and Critical Failing Items that need to be corrected 2021

▪ District-Wide Facilities Survey & Assessment –extensive analysis of buildings conditions beyond SED requirements, corrective measures, best practice, and bringing buildings up to an acceptable standard.

Process & Assessments01

* Scope of the 2020 BCS and 2021 Facilities Survey & Assessment excludes instructional and/or program related improvements.

Most systems met code at the time of installation, but do not meet current code - Buildings lack accessibility, like non-accessible toilet facilities

Aging infrastructure: Original Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems, deteriorating floors and ceilings. Existing HVAC systems were somewhat adequate pre-pandemic but don’t address current concerns related to health & wellness and safety & security.

General needs include site and athletic field stormwater improvements, site security, parking and paving.

Findings02Buildings lack basic school safety components and layering of safety measures

All buildings deemed Unsatisfactory by SED Standards.

5

Goals

Health & Wellness and Safety & Security of

students, faculty and staff through corrected and

improved infrastructure

6

Building Age

Square footage of buildings older than 1970 or 50+ years is 346,877 sq ft.

01

* 66% of district school buildings are 50+ years or older.

Goal: Existing Building Infrastructure

District Capital Investments

Over the last 25 years, most funds were spent on building additions to address enrollment.

02

Since 1996, $63.6M of $73.3M, or 87% of capital fundswas spent on building additions/new construction.

Of the remaining 13%, none was spent on modernizing building infrastructure and systems other than critical-failing items, like boiler and roof replacements.

7

Scope & Value of WorkExisting building infrastructure is failing and will

continue to fail unless an investment is made on

District’s assets. A maintenance plan does not work

unless building infrastructure is fixed.

8

Scope of WorkSafety & Security

Layering Approach - Secure entrance vestibules,

exterior door replacement, interior door

replacements with intruder locksets, exterior

lighting and security devices.

01

Health & Wellness

Ventilation, clean filtered air, better lighting

quality, cleaner drinking water, healthy building

materials, and equity.

02

Accessibility

Toilet rooms, interior and exterior stairs and

ramps, ADA parking spaces

03

Infrastructure & Building Maintenance

Steam conversion to hot water, mechanical

equipment, domestic water piping, electrical

panels, electric service upgrades, backflow

preventors, expanded fire alarm systems,

asbestos abatement, ceilings and lighting,

classroom casework and flooring

04

Site Improvements & Storm Drainage

Stormwater improvements, select re-paving, HS

baseball & softball field improvements, HS bus

loop improvements

05

Systems are mostly original to the buildings

Includes basic components related to clean air and thermal comfort,

and a key strategy for maintaining healthy environments to learn, while minimizing the spread of

airborne particles
