What We Heard Forum #3 asked for: • Concept for Lakeland 4-5 building near Coldwater • Address Middle School and High School basics • Consider long term solution at Max Larsen • Jefferson and Max Larsen are currently ‘right sized’ – path for • anticipated district growth?

Master Plan Ideas 1. Relocate current Lakeland 4-5 into a new 4-5 facility in Coldwater 2. Sell Fremont Street property to NRP (no longer an option) 3. Sell administration property and relocate to Lincoln 4. Maintain Jefferson, Max Larsen, and Middle School to keep up with maintenance and capacity 5. Update Coldwater High School 6. Address District Growth Potential at Elementary Schools

Lakeland Replacement • New 4-5 Building on a new site. How Many Acres? General *guidelines: • Elementary = 10 acre, plus 1 acre for every 100 students • Junior / Middle = 20 acres, plus 1 acre for every 100 students • High School = 30 acres, plus 1 acre for every 100 students • • Ideal Site Parameters: 12 – 20 acre site • Adequate traffic access (preferably two streets) and site circulation • Proximity to other buildings in the school district • * Based on CEFPI recommendations

Sites Considered: Western Site 2 15.11 acres Bishop Ave. Site 8.02 acres Western Site 1 12.39 acres Fremont St. Site 9.32 acres 5.39 acres buildable
