Mr. Havens presented a progress report on the proposed capital facilities project for consideration by the Board of Education.
He summarized the components of a potential capital improvement project, as follows:
| (1) | Add a science classroom at the high school | |
| (2) | Add lockers and upgrade the library-media center at the middle school | |
| (3) | Add classrooms to Ontario Primary School to add Grades 3-5 from Ontario Elementary School | |
| (4) | Maximize energy savings and conservation, including a wind turbine on the Ontario Center campus | |
| (5) | Create inter-campus roadway linking east and west portions of the Ontario Center campus and updated access to the athletic field complex by emergency vehicles & personnel | |
He noted highlights of the meeting in Albany yesterday (September 10, 2008) of school officials and the architect’s office with project managers at the NYS Education Department, which are generally summarized as follows
> Request for waiver for additional state aid was presented with emphasis on efficiency
| Ø State project managers requested additional information on savings and costs of merging Ontario Elementary School and Ontario Primary School into a single K to 5 school |
| Ø Revised plans for use of space and deployment of personnel are due to Albany in one ( 1) week |
| Ø Within approx. one (1) month, the NYS Education Department will determine the amount of state aid for which the potential capital project is eligible |
| Ø State regulations have changed and wind turbines are now eligible for construction aid if part of capital improvements to instructional space |
| Ø Engineers who worked with the wind turbine at Harbec Industries in Ontario are participating in discussions with the school district |
Mrs. Lyke asked what expectations the NYS Education Department has for future use of Ontario Elementary School. Mr. Havens stated that although not eligible for state aid, state officials were receptive to our proposed uses for district offices, technology support, teacher resource center, meeting & event space and potential municipal purposes.
Mr. Griswold asked for clarification of cost estimates for the potential capital improvement project. Mr. Atseff stated $25 to $35 million dollars, depending on the final scope of a project.
Mr. Triou asked when a special district election might occur; Mr. Havens stated possibly in March, 2009.
Mr. Paz asked what other options were reviewed to meet the capital improvement needs outlined in the long-range facility plan. He noted several maintenance items listed as top priority at Freewill Elementary School, for example, and asked if options for a district-wide K to 5 school were explored.
Mr. Havens stated that the Board of Education did consider a single K to 5 school and decided not to pursue such an approach at this time. The proposals for additional classrooms to shift grades 3, 4 & 5 now at Ontario Elementary School at Ontario Primary School were developed to allow for future expansion to accommodate more classrooms if a single K to 5 school is pursued in the future. He added that each individual capital project is eligible for state building aid.
Mrs. Lyke stated that the Board of Education gave careful thought to a single K to 5 school but decided it was not the proper approach to take.
Mrs. Newman asked Mr. Havens to review the potential staffing changes that would occur if a single K to 5 school were pursued. Mr. Havens stated that, depending on student enrollment levels, consolidation to, varying degrees, could occur in art, music, physical education, library-media, food service, maintenance, school health services and clerical staff.
Mr. Robusto asked about economies for utilities in a single K to 5 school. Mr. Havens stated some economies might exist.
Mr. Paz asked what uses are planned if Ontario Elementary School is no longer used for classrooms. Mr. Havens reviewed potential uses (e.g. district offices, tech support, central stores, teacher resource center). Mr . Paz asked about potential shared uses with the Town of Ontario. Mr. Havens stated that preliminary discussions for shared uses have occurred.
Mr. Triou asked if the school district could use capital reserve funds for repairs at Ontario Elementary School if the space were leased but no longer used for instructional purposes. Mr. Havens stated that use of the funds could occur but state aid is only available for instructional uses.
Mr. Paz stated that the perhaps in ten (10) years the district would have a single campus.
Mr. Havens anticipates that the NYS Education Department will confirm the eligibility for state aid within one (1) month at which time the Board of Education can further consider the topic.
Mr. Nicholson asked how much planning has occurred on a wind turbine; Mr. Havens reviewed efforts to date. Mr. Nicholson noted that a site for a wind turbine on school property would need to meet average wind speeds to meet eligibility guidelines of the NYS Energy Research & Development Agency (NYSERDA).
