Plan 6: Superintendent’s Plan (Dr. Livingston) 7/19/16 5:15-5:45 p.m.

Overview Over last three years, looked at buildings around the city that could house pre-k. Catholic school that closed  already sold Sundial Center (off Queen City Ave); former Hesser College $350,000 Preschools must be on one floor After looking at costs for renting, looked at building a pre-k center At Jewett location, already own land Could free up 13-20 classrooms across district Rent would be equivalent to annual bond payment, but would own building Build to specifications (bathrooms, sinks, OT, PT for small children) Reduce extra admin by utilizing existing admin at Jewett Reorganize traffic pattern, faculty parking More efficient use of personnel (e.g. OT stays at school instead of travelling) Building: $3.5-5 million Over last 15 years, number of pre-k students grows about 15 students per year (1+ classrooms); design a building to fit future needs
