LONG RANGE FACILITIES PLANNING TIMELINE 2015 Long Range Facility Planning Committee Recommendations:

  • 2. Guidelines for Phase 2

a. Develop grade configuration to create predictable and realistic transitions for students. b. Maximize existing space within District Buildings while maintaining manageable sized schools. c. Develop a capital maintenance plan that addresses immediate and long‐term needs and ensures facility equity for all schools. d. Create a plan for surplus real estate, where revenue is generated for the District or the properties are effectively repurposed.

e.

Create central location for competition and reduce the use of municipal facilities.

LONG RANGE FACILITIES PLANNING TIMELINE

Facilities planning put on hold due to 2016 operating referendum:

  • Operating vs. Debt referenda

○ Operating authority to exceed revenue limits for day‐to‐day expenses ○ Debt authority to borrow for large capital / construction projects

  • 2016 operating referendum of $2.6 million is paying for the following:

○ 2015‐2016 Budget deficit $850,000 ○ Curriculum $275,000 annually ○ Technology $300,000 annually ○ Personnel $450,000 annually ○ Equipment Purchases $225,000 annually ○ Facility Maintenance $500,000 annually

PROCESS

The Facilities Advisory Committee Has:

  • Met seven times over four months
  • Reviewed background materials, including work of LRFPC
  • Analyzed enrollment projections and facilities needs
  • Reviewed & discussed seven options and associated costs
  • Narrowed to a preliminary recommendation
  • Written a preliminary report to the Board

NEED - ADDITIONAL CAPACITY

*Actual enrollment includes MG21 students and excludes offsite TK4 students. **Projected enrollment excludes MG21, offsite TK4 and early childhood students. Projections assume that all increases in the 4K student population due to residential growth will attend an onsite District 4K program and that all increases in the 9‐12 grade population due to residential growth will attend the high school, not MG21.

OPEN ENROLLMENT

  • Current 4K‐12 Enrollment ‐ 3075 resident / 377 non‐resident
  • School districts may only deny applications if space is not available
  • Board currently accepts only minimum number of new applications as

required by law

  • Board policy gives preference to siblings, but only if space is available
  • Open enrollment benefits:

○ Additional Revenue (if space available) ○ Helps maintain class size consistency

The Next Five Years

  • Glacial Drumlin over

capacity today

  • Taylor Prairie over

capacity in 2019‐20

  • Cottage Grove over

capacity in 2021‐22

  • HS enrollment can be

managed by limiting

slide-26
SLIDE 26

OPTION CONFIGURATIONS

Seven Options Explored

Similarities

  • Place 5th grade at the elementary level, district‐wide
  • Construct new elementary school school in Cottage Grove
  • Renovate existing school sites
  • Update and consolidate athletic facilities
  • Fund the full $16.4 million in priority capital maintenance needs

Differences

  • Grade Transitions vs. Neighborhood Schools
  • Grade configurations
  • Utilization of Maywood

SLIDE 28

PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATION

Summary of Preliminary Recommendation

  • Additional Capacity: Expand 4K‐8 capacity to meet long‐term enrollment projections
  • Capital Maintenance: Address $16.4 million in priority capital maintenance
  • Renovations: Renovate existing schools to update classrooms, create more modern and

flexible learning environments, expand core spaces, and create more equity between schools

  • Athletics: Update existing facilities and centralize practice and competition fields to reduce the

use of shared facilities

An additional consideration at grades 4K-2

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Build on District-Owned Property

  • Adjacent to Glacial Drumlin School
  • Approximately 40 acres
  • Purchase approved at October 4,

2017 MGSD Annual Meeting

PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATION

31

slide-32
SLIDE 32

PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATION

New Elementary

(Grades 3 - 5)

  • Located on district‐owned land
  • 10 sections per grade level
  • Capacity for approximately 700
  • Approximately 126,500 square

feet

32

slide-33
SLIDE 33

KEY CONSIDERATIONS

33

slide-34
SLIDE 34

MAYWOOD

Maywood is not a viable option.

  • Limited capacity

○ Capacity for approximately 300 students ‐ insufficient to meet projected long‐term enrollment growth

  • Higher operating costs

○ Opening Maywood as District school is a two‐school solution ○ Means approximately double the operating costs and operating tax impact

  • Higher remodeling costs

○ Options that involved Maywood were the most expensive ○ Maywood costs are especially high on a per square foot basis

34

slide-35
SLIDE 35

MAYWOOD

Maywood is not a viable option.

  • Programmatic limitations

○ Opening Maywood as a District school would mean keeping Monona middle school student in Monona ‐ either at Maywood or Winnequah ○ Difficult to provide comprehensive middle school programming to 250 students

  • Enrollment growth is projected to be in Cottage Grove

○ Additional capacity is needed in Cottage Grove, not Monona ○ Opposed to bussing elementary students outside of home community

35

slide-36
SLIDE 36

NICHOLS and MGHS

Nichols is currently in use.

  • Currently houses MG21 Charter School and the District Office
  • Inadequate capacity for multiple additional grade levels

MGHS is under capacity but should be monitored.

  • Projections suggest MGHS resident enrollment will near capacity in

approximately 10 years

  • Space exists on site for a future addition

36

slide-37
SLIDE 37

CONSEQUENCES OF INACTION

Consequences of doing nothing:

  • Projected over‐capacity in three of five buildings in the next five years
  • Strain on students and staff due to overcrowding
  • Deterioration of District buildings
  • Increase in construction and financing costs
  • Additional deferred maintenance costs
