For Fall 2019
Rick Thompson, Superintendent (360)
Presented for first reading to School Board October 24, 2018

2. Background Steps -- Rationale for Change is Important
Declining enrollment for 20 years now accelerating
Demographic Study 2017
MENG Facility Condition Report Fall 2017
NO Bond Revenue from 2015, (2) campaigns
Capital Levy Revenue
2012 and 2018 tax measures passed

3. Additional Steps in Planning
Facility Master Plan ESD 112 Fall 2015
ESD 112 Safety and Security Plan
Board Presentation February 2014
Fall/Winter 2017 Facility Committee

4. GOALS FOR FACILITIES -- Facility and Program Improvement go hand in hand
safety and security
Reduce transitions
for students
Align
with enrollment
Reduce
operational footprint
Utilize highest spaces the public owns
(CCP, CMS, CHS sites)
Invest
capital dollars effectively

5. Data used for Facility Planning -- Multiple Data Points
Demographic Study
Alternative Programs in Washington
Enrollment Projections
Capacity Analysis
Facility Condition Reports
Functional Adequacy
Technology Conditions
Capital Levy Revenue Schedule
State Funding Formulas
Analysis of Infrastructure
Staff Survey October 3 to 15
Leadership Team Review 2018

6. Facility Committee Recommendation: Reconfigure K-12 Operations
Mothball 35,000 square feet (current CES, Pi, and 3-8 library spaces – not programs)
In four options analyzed by board
Base decisions on enrollment
Use MENG as road map
Create long-range options

7. What is Mothballing? CES Pods have been closed before
No heat, no maintenance, no custodial – emergency repairs only
Identified as Chimacum Elementary School (29,077 square feet),Rated 3.1, 1948 and upgrades
Identified as 3-8 Library (6,312 square feet), Rated 3.5, 1968
CMS spaces in 1991 and 1999 rated superior to older CES spaces
Keep parking and traffic flow

8. Chimacum Creek Primary
29,739 SF, Rated
House Grades
K-2 & Preschool
Expand
Early Childhood and Library Partnerships
Alternate:
Move Grade 3
to CCP with Portables
Paint Exterior and Repair Sign
September 2018
Enrollment is 176
Transition from 2 to 3 critical (literacy window)
Improve Video Security
Further Work with Supervision and Specialists
Addition of Grade 3 possible if enrollment declines further.

9. Intermediate or Middle Grades
Options: 3-6, 3-7, 4-8 and 3-8
Current CMS 6-8 is 157 students
September 2018 enrollment for grades 3-8 is 344
Currently empty wing at CMS (99 section) ready for instruction
Supervision model reconfiguration
Natural mentor model
Name or program design change opportunity (i.e. STEM)
Revise Common space for better use
Deploy Multi Purpose Room
Sensitive to child development

10. High School 77,186 SF Rated 2.6 1991 and 1999 construction
9-12 enrollment is 233
Content spaces, labs, woods, arts, horticulture, science, TEALS
Empty rooms during the day
7-12 models exist (i.e. Klawhowya)
CHS Library high use area
Commons high use area, 3-12 breakfast
Concerns over 7th and 8th graders with CHS
Shared bathrooms likely if 7-12

11. ALE (Pi) PROGRAM
Separate state funding model Located in CES with no clear school entrance Enrollment September 2018: K-6 = = 41 Total = 59 CMS Principal and Secretary administration for Pi Small staff and class size Need storage space Few discipline problems Special Education services provided Full Board Report in February

12. Advantages for Using all of CMS (reduce 35,000 SF)
Improving facilities more economical than remediating facilities
Can house 3-5 wing and 6-8 wing at CMS site
Large expenses can be expected at CES (what is known)
CMS new roof, electrical, flooring, paint, technology
CMS safer environment/internal hallways
Natural mentor type program can emerge

13. Option B: Middle Grades 3-6 plus Pi, 238 students;
Based on Best Facility Spaces . . .
The pivotal grade level configuration decision centers around middle grades
Option B: Middle Grades 3-6 plus Pi, 238 students;
CHS, 348 students
Option A: Middle Grades 3-8, 344 students; CHS 9-12, 233 students with Pi 59

14. Superintendent Recommendation
No later than fall of 2019, I recommend the District grade and facility configuration to be:
K-2 at CCP
3-8 at CMS site
9-12 and Pi at CHS

15. Recommend a closure process for 3-5 teachers and Pi staff
Recommend family walk-throughs
Recommend Board discuss and take action (vote) on November 7, 2018

16. Support Spaces I recommend the District continue to utilize and improve (as budget allows) facilities for specialists, library, gym and multipurpose spaces.
