Goals for Renovation
- Remove portable and modular classrooms (9 classrooms)
- Why? Portables are meant to be temporary. The portables have exceeded their life expectancy, are inefficient, and pose safety concerns.
- Improve safety and security of entire school
- Why? The Department of Homeland Security performed a site assessment and identified many areas of concern; some can only be addressed with a renovation.
- Increase primary education, special education and group learning space
- Why? This will allow for growth in enrollment and more flexible educational spaces to support optimal instructional practices.
- Improve the function of key common areas, including the nurse’s office, administrative and meeting area, and restrooms
- Why? The nurse’s office does not currently meet minimum health standards. Restrooms are insufficient for students and staff.
