Long Range Facility Planning Phase 1 1 Lake Highlands Elementary School (LHE) 2 Northlake Elementary School (NLE) 3 White Rock Elementary School (WRE) Step 1 – Capacity Analysis
Goals 1 Determine the student capacity of the campus 2 Identify room use compared with programed use 3 Chart room utilization 4 Chart demographic trends 5 Site assessment of buildable area
Methodology Facility Campus Curriculum 1 Floor plan analysis 2 Map instructional program to floor plan 3 Tour school with Principal and the Assistant Superintendent, Elementary Schools
Concepts 1 Instructional capacity 2 90% capacity threshold 3 Snapshot in time

WRE Enrollment Growth 2008 - 2016 White Rock ES Current Building Capacity Phase 1- White Rock Elementary
WRE Projected Enrollment White Rock ES Current Building Capacity Phase 1- White Rock Elementary
WRE Facility Options to address growth White Rock ES 1 Adding on to WRE to accommodate current and future enrollment 2 Building a new K-6 School within the current WRE attendance zone, this option would require dividing the current zone into two zones 3 Rebalancing the current attendance zone with neighboring schools, this option would require rezoning WRE.
WRE Option 1 – Add on to WRE White Rock ES Increased Building Capacity (by additions/ renovations) Current Building Capacity Facility options to address growth
WRE Considerations White Rock ES In order to meet the needs of around 1,150 students new program building area is required including: • Additional Classrooms • Music Room • Library • Food service and student dining • Administrative support • Restrooms • Larger school assembly space Option 1 – Add on to WRE
WRE Other Considerations White Rock ES • Flood plain • Parking • On-site drive lanes (drop off) • East-West building circulation • Service • Emergency access Option 1 – Add on to WRE
WRE Current Site White Rock ES Flood Plain Option 1 – Add on to WRE
WRE Buildable Site Area White Rock ES Renovation Flood Plain Addition Option 1 – Add on to WRE
Guiding principles – Add on to WRE Representative Instructional Neighborhood Efficient Fiscal Future Flood Plain Demographics Implications Schools Operations Responsibility Flexibility Concept Option 1 – Add on to WRE
Option 2 – New K6 School Flood Plain White Rock Elementary
Option 2 – New K6 School Considerations: • Each school would serve 500 students Flood Plain • Finding land in a built out neighborhood • Under utilization of existing WRE campus • Require breaking the existing WRE zone into two new zones
Guiding principles Representative Instructional Flood Plain Neighborhood Efficient Fiscal Future Demographics Implications Schools Operations Responsibility Flexibility Concept Option 2 – New K6 School
Option 3 – Rebalance LH Schools Northlake Elementary White Rock Elementary Lake Highlands Elementary
Option 3 – Rebalance LH Schools • There is available capacity • This would require rezoning and disrupt boundaries of three schools • Northlake and Lake Highlands (core needs renovation to take on capacity)
Guiding principles Representative Instructional Neighborhood Efficient Fiscal Future Demographics Implications Schools Operations Responsibility Flexibility Concept Option 3 – Rebalance LH Schools

WRE Survey Results White Rock ES
Option 4 – 5/6 grade Stand Alone 5/6 grade = 250 – 300 students OR Flood Plain 5/6 grade at LHJH = 750 (for 3 ES)/ 1000 Students (entire LHJH feeder pattern)
Option 4 – 5/6 grade Considerations: • Under utilization of most other elementary campuses Flood Plain • Increased operations/ transportation costs • Additional transition at critical 4/ 5 grade. • Not consistent with current RISD educational model
