WHAT’S NEXT?


27/33

ProjectConditions listed earlier support the need for

modernization of both Taylor and WarrentonLimited resources require a focus on one project

We recommend Taylor as the top priority project forthe following reasons

Safety on Shirley AvenueParents, buses queue onto highway at drop off and dismissal

Interior and exterior building deterioration is greater

Accessibility is limited and student movement patternsare awkward

Cafeteria and kitchen spaces are undersized andinefficient

School parking is less than any other division schoolexcept Southeastern, creating a safety issue as peopleseek ways to maneuver into non-parking spaces
