Title: PM7 Educational Specification for Plumosa Elementary

Recommendation:

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

Description:

 

  1. The construction of Plumosa Elementary School is scheduled to commence 2008 and be completed by 2009 according to the Board-adopted FY 2007-2011 Five-Year Plan.

  1. The Educational Specification for Plumosa Elementary School is consistent with the Class Size Reduction (CSR) Facility Lists and CSR generic educational specification approved by the Board on October 18, 2006.

  1. The “CSR” FISH Capacity of this school design will be 670 and the ”Program Capacity” of this school design will be for 500 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 Specifications include the additional spaces for the proposed Visual, Performing and Communications Arts program.  The Program Proposal Committee reviewed this submission on November 27, 2006.

  1. The Castaldi analysis identifies five (5) buildings (Bldgs.  11, 12, 13, 14, 15) that would remain on the site.  The existing facilities will be analyzed by the project architect to determine appropriate usage of the site and buildings for necessary renovations and remodeling to meet SREF 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.
