RPS Facilities Needs Report - Recap For the Period of FY2016 – FY2025 Presented to a Joint Meeting RPS School Board and City Council May 26, 2015
What is the capacity of the District’s existing facilities?
Types of Capacity Grade RPS Functional RPS Maximum PK 15:1 18:1 K 18:1 24:1 1 – 12 22:1 25:1 EE 9:1 9:1
Capacity Utilized by Administration • Ideal Capacity is: – 85% to 90% of RPS Functional Capacity • Provides greatest flexibility to meet: – Educational needs of the students today and in the future – Forecasted enrollment

Since 2005 the School Board has: • Has closed 17 schools, eliminated 1.0 million square feet and 6,681 seats • Opened four new schools with 575,000 square feet and 3,700 seats • Net reduction 425,000 square feet and 2,981 seats
What if all Schools facilities were made equal? • 4 schools built in 1998 • 4 schools built in the past couple of years • 82% of the District’s schools are more than 20 years old • Approximately one third are at least 70 years old • Another one third are at least 50 years old
Recap of Schools Equalization School Complete Major Moderate Minor Additions No Work Renovation Renovation Renovation Renovation Necessary /Replace Elementary 7 5 4 4 12 5 Middle 3 2 0 1 2 2 High 0 3 1 0 0 1 Specialty 2 1 1 2 0 0
Equalization? • Long-term good, but cannot be done quickly • Not a viable option – Cost is very large – Would need to have a major rezone to meet projected growth, and – Would need to incur additional costs for additions, which will create additional empty seats – Creates no operational efficiencies since no schools are combined

Options
Option 1 • No new schools, major renovations, or rezoning • Old buildings and systems remain • High annual CIP • Higher operating cost • Portables will be needed to address increasing student population • Not a viable option
Option 2 • Rezone to address projected student enrollment • Significantly impacts the concept of schools as centers of the community • Significant increase in operating costs • Negatively impacts quality of education • Continue to have old buildings and systems • Continue to have higher operating costs • Continue to have higher annual CIP amounts • Portables will be needed to address increasing student population • Not a viable option
Option 3 • Equalize schools • Not a viable option • Continue high operating cost • Does not address capacity issues from projected enrollment growth • Does not create any efficiencies • Very expensive
Option 4: Use of lower cost tools • Establish Pre-K centers for all Pre-K programs • Rezone elementary schools in over/under-crowded regions to balance utilization where it does not impact the community school concept. • Consolidate 4 elementary schools into 2 existing locations • Consolidate 1 elementary school into an existing elementary school with an addition • Consolidate 2 middle schools into 1 existing location • Consolidate 1 high school • Consolidate 4 secondary schools into 2 existing locations • Move to full-time CTE program center • All of these options can be implemented very quickly • Does not address capacity issues from projected enrollment growth • Not the recommended option
Option 5 (Elementary): Use of lower & higher cost tools • Evaluate the establishment of Pre-K centers for all Pre-K programs • Rezone elementary schools in over/under-crowded regions to balance utilization where it does not impact the community school concept. • Consolidate 2 elementary schools • Consolidate 1 elementary school into an existing elementary school with an addition • Combine 4 elementary schools into 2 NEW elementary schools • Combine 3 elementary schools into 1 NEW elementary school and 1 renovated/addition elementary school • 1 New elementary school, resulting in one school closed • Rezone so there is an equitable split in the south • Renovations to remaining existing buildings
Option 5(Secondary): Use of lower & higher cost tools • Consolidate 4 middle schools into 2 NEW Middle Schools • Consolidate 1 high school • Construct new high school to meet projections • Consolidate 4 secondary schools into 2 existing locations • Renovations to remaining existing buildings
