Title: PM2 Educational Specification for H.L. Johnson Elementary

Recommendation:

I recommend the School Board approve the Educational Specification for the addition of H L Johnson Elementary and authorize the Chairman and Superintendent to execute all related contract documents.

Description:

  1. The construction of H L Johnson Elementary School addition is scheduled to commence 2007 and be completed by 2008 according to the proposed FY 2007-11 Five-Year Plan. This project is required in order to comply with school concurrency requirements, to eliminate old portables and reduce class size.

 

  1. The Educational Specification for H L Johnson 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 FISH Capacity of this school design will be 1000 and the ”Program Capacity” of this school design will be for 960 students grades 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 additional instructional spaces and administrative spaces to support the existing ESE programs.

 

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

 

  1. The existing facilities will be analyzed by the project architect to determine appropriate usage of the site and buildings, for necessary renovations to include a prototype clinic, expansion of dining and remodeling to meet SREF size standards, ADA requirements and other code issues.

 

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

 

Financial Impact:

Financial impact will be determined when construction contract is negotiated.
