1998 Report Build additional middle school Increase student capacities at each

elementary school through building additions “Site limitations exist at West Grove, North

Grove, and Maple Grove but not at other four sites”


7

2002 Studies Based on ISU Demographic Projections Several options presented by committee

Open 7th elementary school in 2004 Open 8th elementary school in 2006 Move Transportation/Maintenance building Move Central Office


8

2004 Facility Advisory Committee Based on new ISU Demographic Study

Build new Maple Grove facility Design so that the new school could have

another school that would adjoin the building in the future

Share HVAC, kitchen equipment, and mechanical facilities

Expand high school


9

2006 Facilities Advisory Committee Used 600 students per elementary school as “functional

capacity” Renovate NG and WG

Increase size of cafeteria and gym Add classrooms and office space Add large group instruction areas Add storage

Develop plan for new central office When district size grows to 10,000 students

8 elementary schools 3 middle schools 1 high school


10

Maintenance Plan

Committed to keeping our buildings clean, well-maintained, and safe for all staff and students.

CGCSC Projections

Enrollment & Demographics

The Board endorses these enrollment projections for long-term planning purposes.

The proposed Facility Plan is based on enrollments projected through 2026-27: Elementary 4,614 Middle school 2,479 High School 3,190 TOTAL 10,284

18

Proposed Elementary Plan

Committed to providing the best facilities and academic programs for our students.

19

EFFICIENCY

Getting maximum use of facility for minimum expense

Considerations Energy Staffing Transportation

State Expectations Trends across Indiana

20

Efficiency – Elementary Schools

We intend to provide outstanding academic programs.

Recommended school size for maximum efficiency: Elementary - 650-750 pupils per school Middle School - 1000-1200 pupils per school

21

Analysis of our Elementary Schools

Four Existing Buildings Can Meet Efficiency Requirements:

Maple Grove, Pleasant Grove, and Sugar Grove can already accommodate 650-750 students.

Center Grove requires addition/renovation to accommodate 650-750.

22

Analysis of our Elementary Schools

West Grove Built in 1967 42,724 square feet 12.5 acres Septic system

North Grove Built in 1965 46,190 square feet 11.26 acres

It is not feasible to renovate or add on to either school to accommodate 650-750 students due to building

and site restrictions.

Two Existing Buildings Do Not Meet Efficiency Requirements:

23

Analysis of WG and NG to Maintain Equity

We believe that all elementary schools should have equitable learning conditions and opportunities.

West Grove and North Grove do not have the same features as the other four elementary schools: Science lab Large group instruction room Large cafeteria Wide hallways Large teacher workroom Large media center Sprinkler system Appropriate classroom space for full day kindergarten

24

Analysis of WG and NGto Maintain EQUITY

Cost to make these facilities equitable to other four elementary schools (MG, PG, SG, CG)

$8 million plus for EACH school

This does not include additional classrooms to increase student capacity and program needs, such as full day kindergarten, English as a New Language (ENL), and GT or High Ability.

25

Renovate or Build?

Renovate North Grove and West Grove

Estimated Cost:

$16-17 Million

Annual Savings to the General Fund:

$0

This “solution” does not allow expanded programs in the classroom

Cost Comparisons

Build New Elementary School

Estimated Cost:

$18-20 Million

Annual Savings to the General Fund:

$500,000 per year

This solution allows us to operate more efficiently and expand academic programs.

26

Renovate or Build?

Requirements:Science labLarge group instruction roomLarge cafeteriaWide hallwaysLarge teacher workroomLarge media centerIncreased student capacityAppropriate classroom space for full day kindergarten

Renovation of West Grove & North Grove Facilities

Restrictions:Load-bearing concrete block construction does not allow for widening hallways or changing room configurationLot sizes do not allow additions for increased capacityWest Grove is on septic system, requiring costly sewer tie-inProposed location of I-69 exchange at Smith Valley Road

27

Proposed Elementary Plan

Reduce from six to five elementary schools in 2010 (enrollment projection: 3,623)

Build new elementary school south and adjacent to Sugar Grove (Maple Grove model) to open in 2010

Close West Grove & North Grove, summer of 2010

Projected to need sixth elementary school in 2014 (enrollment projection: 4,060)

Projected to need seventh elementary school in 2027 (enrollment projection: 4,614)

28

Distribution of StudentsGoal – To reduce from 6 to 5 elementary schools for maximum

efficiency

Benefits of Proposed Elementary Plan

Facility Modern, energy-efficient building Lower Maintenance

maintain one new building, rather than two older ones Meets efficiency goal of serving 650-750 students Easily accommodates high-tech multimedia

classrooms New building is longer-term facility solution, due to

modern construction techniques allowing for future flexibility

New Elementary School

Reduced Staffing Possible Reduction of 5 Certified Positions,

5 Support Staff Positions Reassignment of Certified Positions Reassignment of 14 Support Staff

Positions Potential Annual Savings in the General

Fund is approximately $500,000

31

Staff Adjustments 2008

CG, MG, SG, WG, NG, and PG 6 Principals 6 Counselors 6 Art teachers 6 PE teachers 6 Music teachers 6 Kitchen staffs 6 Custodial supervisors 6 Office staffs

(nurse assistant, media assistant, secretary-treasurer, office assistant)

2010 New School and CG, MG, SG, & PG

5 Principals (and one asst. principal) 5 Counselors 5 Art teachers 5 PE teachers 5 Music teachers 5 Kitchen staffs 5 Custodial supervisors 5 Office staffs

(nurse assistant, media assistant, secretary-treasurer, office assistant)

Staff reductions will save approximately $500,000 per year.We believe that changes can be handled through retirements and resignations.

32


Increased Efficiency One elementary school is less expensive to operate

than two Provides savings to General Fund Gives us ability to expand programs to ensure

academic excellence Gifted/High Ability Program English as a New Language Program World Languages offerings Academic offerings at Middle School and High School

levels Full Day Kindergarten

33

Summary of Proposed Elementary Plan

Currently Six Elementary Buildings Built: 1965 – 2006

The two oldest buildings are NGE and WGE

Instructional Space: 42,724 – 74,550 sq. ft. The two smallest buildings are NGE and WGE

Acreage: 11.26 – 121.35 acres The two smallest sites are NGE and WGE

Recommendation: Close North Grove and West Grove; Build additional elementary schools in 2010, 2014 (or when

needed), and 2027 (or when needed)

34

Proposed Facilities Plan

Meeting High Expectations for Excellence

35

Proposed 20-Year Facilities Plan

Renovation For many years, we have used a 20-year

cycle to schedule remodeling Keeps buildings up to date

Every building will be renovated, beginning with: High School Renovation – summer, 2009 Center Grove Elementary – January, 2010 Pleasant Grove Elementary – 2012

36


Construction New elementary school – 2010 Sixth elementary school on Maple Grove

site – 2014 or later (when needed)

Third middle school – 2026 Seventh elementary school – 2027

37

In the next five (5) years, we will raze the old maintenance and transportation

buildings the two residential houses on Morgantown Rd Old Maple Grove

However, NG and WG have commercial value

Disposal of Unneeded Facilities


38

Summary of Proposed 20-Year Facility

Renovation Over the next 20 years, every building will be renovated

ConstructionOver the next 20 years, four new schools will be built

Three elementary schools

One middle school

DisposalIn the next five years, seven buildings will be sold or razed

39

Financing Plan

“The good news is, we can complete this

20-Year Plan without raising the tax rate.”

Fund Expenditures Funding Source

General Salaries/Wages, Fringe Benefits, Purchases

State Support, Fees, Property Taxes, Excise Taxes, Interest

Debt Service

Short Term Interest, Outstanding Bonds, Textbook Rental Shortages

Property Taxes

Capital Projects

Building Projects, Renovation, Technology, Equipment, Maintenance, Emergency, Utilities, Professional Fees

School Funding in Indiana

41

Financing Major Projects Through 2015

Assumption about future assessed valuation growth is critical:

Actual 2007: $2,520,158,340 Projected 2015: $3,415,847,142 Projected 2027: $4,638,310,955

For the past decade, the average increase for AV has been 12%.

The above figures for assessed valuation are based on 4% increase for 7 years 3% increase for next 8 years 2% increase thereafter

42

This proposed plan includes 5 major building projects that total $143.5 million before 2015: High School renovation Center Grove Elementary renovation New Elementary School Pleasant Grove Elementary renovation Sixth Elementary School

However, we will request money only when needed.


43

Assumption about future assessed valuation growth is critical.

Beginning in 2015, we project a period of at least 8 years with no major building projects.

Financial goal is to maintain the tax rate at 41 cents in the Debt Service Fund. The tax rate is the only aspect of local taxes that the

school corporation can control
