Title: PM2 Educational Specification for Forest Park Elementary

Recommendation:

I recommend the School Board approve the Educational Specification for the modernization of Forest Park Elementary and authorize the Chairman and Superintendent to execute all related contract documents.

Description:

 

  1. The construction of Forest Park Elementary School modernization is scheduled to commence 2007 and be completed by 2008 according to the Board-adopted FY 2006-10 Five-Year Plan.

  1. The Educational Specification for Forest Park Elementary is consistent with the Class Size Reduction (CSR) Facility Lists and CSR generic educational specification approved by the Board on October 19, 2005.

  1. The “CSR” FISH Capacity of this school design will be 798 and the ”Program Capacity” of this school design will be for 600 students grades Pre-Kindergarten to 5.  The use of the “Program Capacity” for the construction of the school is consistent with the Charter School District Waiver granted by the Florida Board of Education on January 21, 2003. 

  1. The Educational Specification includes 11 additional instructional spaces for existing Pre-K, ESOL and Title I programs.

  1. The Castaldi analysis identifies (3) buildings (Buildings 10, 11, 14) that may be renovated or remodeled.  The existing facilities will be analyzed by the project architect to determine appropriate usage of the site and buildings for necessary renovations, remodeling and/or additions to meet SEF size standards, ADA requirements and other code issues. 

  1. The Educational Specification reflects the use of grade level grouping to enable implementation of the “school-within-a-school” concepts.

  1. The Educational Specification was reviewed and approved by the Principal.

Financial Impact:

Financial impact will be determined when construction contract is negotiated.
