1, 3 & 4 School Model Options

April 9, 2013

Restructuring of Keene Elementary Schools

Over the winter, the Board of Education decided to move toward a 4-school, wide grade span model, with Daniels housing the Preschool program

Following this, we received a Board request to provide a more detailed evaluation of several variations of 1, 3 and 4-school models

Today, we will be answering those questions

Where We Are Now

Provide cost analysis of creating 3 EQUALLY-sized K-5 schools, including Fuller & Symonds, with long-term expandability

Provide breakout cost of Preschool in that option Provide cost to close Daniels, Franklin, OR

Wheelock in the 4-school, wide grade span model Provide cost of building one large elementary

school and closing all existing schools

Option 1A – Site Plan

04/21/23 10KES restructuring – Marinace Architects

Option 1A – Summary

Significant operating cost savings, but a large capital investment is required

New, state-of-the-art space for all students High performance building heated from wood chip plant,

with low long-term maintenance costs Neighborhood schools replaced by one large school Maple Street site maxed out with 2,200 students on site,

creates traffic and access issues, congestion Another site needed for possible long-term expansion

04/21/23 11KES restructuring – Marinace Architects

Option 1A – Pros & Cons

Fuller & Symonds expanded from 3-section to 4/3-section schools. Capacity of each rises from 324 to 426 students

Daniels expanded from a 2-section to 3-section school. Capacity rises from 216 to 324 students

Preschool moves to Daniels Franklin & Wheelock closed and sold Total district capacity of 1,188 students K-5

Option 3A – Summary

Significant staff operating cost savings, but a large capital investment is required

Avoid CIP, maintenance and utility costs by closing two schools

Offers long-term expansion potential Neighborhood school model diminished More pressure placed on larger school cores

04/21/23 19KES restructuring – Marinace Architects

Option 3A – Pros & Cons

Same as Option 3A except Preschool is eliminated from Daniels School

Since Preschool is not accounted for elsewhere in this option, the difference in cost between Option 3A and Option 3B can be seen as a breakout cost for the preschool program

building heat conversion from steam to hot water included in the project budgets

2. (Shown in blue) Long-term CIP items that will need to be done in the next 10-20 years to maintain the buildings, not included in the project budgets

3. (Shown in black) Items the school district will complete outside of the building program not included in the project budgets

Overall Project Budgets

CIP heat conversion is included, at a cost of $3,386,000 to the budget of 3 and 4-school options, and reduces the annual savings by up to $267,000

1 and 3-school options assume that unused buildings will be sold at a price of $750,000 each

Staffing figures and salaries have been updated. Preschool staffing has increased in all new configurations by $121,000 (1 teacher, 1 para)
