Our Recommendation

FSC Priorities

• Resolve capacity issues and remove all

portables

• Maintain neighborhood elementary schools
• Make long-term investments by building new

schools

• Invest in our existing schools by making

necessary, long-term maintenance improvements

Two Options – A & B

Option A—$57,486,782: Grade realignment occurs and sixth graders are moved down to the intermediate level (PK, K-3; 4-6; 7-8; 9-12 Alignment) Option B—$54,711,908: Existing grade alignment stays in place (PK-5; 6-8; 9-12 Alignment)

Option A

1. Classroom Addition to Enlarge McMichael MS to serve all Grades 7-8

– Move Moses to the Intermediate level; re-assign TJR to Intermediate level (Grades 4–6)

2. New Elementary School in the Northeast area of the district 3. Replacement Elementary School at Carpenter 4. Renovate Fredonia Elementary School

– Repurpose/Close Nettie Marshall Elementary

5. Capital Renovation Projects

– Mechanical, Roofs, Site Acquisition, Priority projects for existing campuses

Option B

1. Retain 6th grade in middle schools (no McMichael expansion) 2. New Elementary School in the Northeast area of the district – Has larger capacity than Option A because elementary level does not gain Moses as an additional elementary campus 3. Replacement Elementary School at Carpenter 4. Renovate Fredonia Elementary School – Repurpose/Close Nettie Marshall Elementary 5. Capital Renovation Projects – Mechanical, Roofs, Site Acquisition, Priority projects for existing campuses
