Q & A

Was green building assessed in FCI calculations? Somewhat. There are some factors such as reflective roofs, low-flow fixtures that have been added in.

Why does the middle school enrollment seem to be less than elementary and high school? Grade configuration is a factor and is not standardized across the district. This is being considered as part of the Master Plan. Discussion of consolidating several smaller schools into larger facilities. The feedback they received was "we love our smaller schools."

Have the consultants looked at how numbers would change under a strict transfer policy? They are looking at what we'd see if the kids were all taken back to the home boundary. Some would be way over and some way under.

Wouldn't improving school quality reduce transfers instead of building all new facilities? Yes, and that will be incorporated into the next phase of the planning process.
