LRSD Enrollment 30,000 29,000 28,000 26,650 26,462 26,558 27,000 26,000 25,720 25,800 25,837 25,685 25,537 26,076 25,874 25,962 25,726 25,445 25,553 25,097 25,149 25,029 25,065 25,118 25,269 25,000 24,000 23,000 22,000 21,000 20,000 Actual Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Projected Needs – Demographics/Capacity/Utilization NEEDS - Capacity The actual capacity of each school was determined based on a square footage per student Little Rock has many smaller classrooms Considering the capacity based on square feet per student (typically 30 sf/student) is a better measure of capacity than just the number of classrooms Capacity of each school was determined without factoring in the capacity of the portable classrooms Goal is to eliminate portables so the capacity of the building alone needed to be calculated Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Needs – Demographics/Capacity/Utilization NEEDS - Utilization Utilization – Dividing the enrollment by the capacity provides the utilization percentage. Elementary Schools Capacity 10-year Enrollment (projected) Utilization 15,552 13,572 87.3% Middle Schools Capacity 10-year Enrollment (projected) Utilization 4,332 5,319 122.8% High Schools Capacity 10-year Enrollment (projected) Utilization 6,351 6,652 104.7% Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Needs – Demographics/Capacity/Utilization NEEDS - Utilization Utilization – What does this tell us? Elementary Schools Some limited excess capacity Need to consider additions or reallocation of students to address needs Middle Schools Over-crowded Should consider an additional school as well as additions where appropriate High Schools Over-crowded but not as much as the middle schools Should consider a new school as well as additions where appropriate Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Needs – Physical Assessment NEEDS – Physical Assessment Conducted on each facility including non-educational facilities Considered all aspects of the building including: Foundation Structure Exterior and interior walls, windows and doors Ceilings, floors and cabinetry Electrical system Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system Plumbing system Roof Kitchens Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Needs – Physical Assessment NEEDS – Physical Assessment Information collected electronically by assessment teams of local architects, engineers and designers Overall, buildings have been very well maintained Most needs are simply a result of age Physical needs were categorized into one of four categories: 1. Priority 1 – Items that need immediate attention 2. Priority 2 – Items some of which should be addressed in 2-5 years, some can be deferred longer 3. Priority 3 – Items that can be deferred a minimum of 5-10 years 4. Priority 4 – Items that can wait more than 10 years Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Needs – Physical Assessment NEEDS – Physical Assessment 1. Priority 1 – Items that need attention in the next 2 years $68,063,451 2. Priority 2 – Items which should be addressed in 2-5 years $55,031,149 3. Priority 3 – Items that can be deferred a minimum of 5-10 years $145,650,623 4. Priority 4 – Items that can wait more than 10 years $25,040,043 Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Needs – Educational Adequacy Assessment NEEDS – Educational Adequacy Educational adequacy based on a 2,000 point scale Factors evaluated directly influence the learning environment Factors include but not limited to: Size, number, type and location of classrooms and labs Student Centered Sustainable Design™ Daylighting Indoor air quality Ventilation Thermal comfort Acoustics Programming Technology Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Needs – Educational Adequacy Assessment NEEDS – Educational Adequacy Positive Factors Technology Media centers Furniture (adequate and in reasonable condition) Elementary – good playgrounds and some have “extra rooms” such as science rooms Negative Factors Lack of daylighting Small classrooms Lack of flexible learning spaces Open space environment not appropriately converted to enclose spaces Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Needs – Security NEEDS – Security Security Rating Rated on a 1-5 scale School received a rating of 5 if the main entrance is secure with a locking vestibule physically connected to the main office School received a rating of 1 if there was no locking vestibule and the office could not be easily relocated to near the main entrance. New school (Roberts received a 5) Most schools were in the 2 category All schools have entrance control even if not ideal with a locking vestibule Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Needs – Child Nutrition NEEDS – Child Nutrition Food Service Air-conditioning all kitchens not presently served is planned for The equipment in each kitchen was assessed The size of the cafeteria and kitchen was compared to a “model size” Model was based on serving all of the students in three (3) lunch periods Model was based on actual records of the number of students using the food service The costs shown are preliminary ten-year total costs not prioritized Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Needs – Athletics NEEDS – Athletics Elementary “Student activity centers” planned for each school where possible Middle and High Schools Efforts made to improve playfields and gyms Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Options Overview District-Wide Options Overview #1 – CAPACITY ACCOMMODATION The alignment of enrollment and existing capacity involves removing all portables, matching enrollment and building capacity by adding additions where needed and adding student activity centers, art rooms and music rooms at schools where feasible. #2 – REDISTRIBUTION OF STUDENTS The redistribution of student enrollment involves all actions listed in Option 1, however, where possible students would be redistributed to other schools that have capacity rather than building additions. Fanning Howey • Stuck Associates • Brailsford & Dunlavey • Woods Group • RDI Options Overview District-Wide Options Overview #3 – SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION The school consolidation option includes all actions listed in Option 1 and creating efficiency through the consolidation of under-enrolled schools. Would require additions at the “receiving” schools. Schools that would be considered for closing would only be those with the greatest need for investment. Also includes consolidating classrooms to create art and music rooms at the elementary level. #4 – SCHOOL REPLACEMENT The school replacement option includes all actions listed in Option 1 for most schools. Schools considered for replacement are schools that exceed the two-thirds guideline (improvement cost exceeds two-thirds of the replacement cost) plus the costs associated with improving educational adequacy and security. #5 - RIGHTSIZING The rightsizing option includes all actions listed above and aligning schools with the elementary, middle, and high school models developed as part of LRSD Facilities Master Plan Process.
