Committee asks for rough-cost metrics, EdPlan testing and phasing scenarios; enrollment at 294 for grades 4–5
Summary
Committee members requested square-footage and cost breakout tied to MSBA terms, an EdPlan heat-map analysis, and guidance on phasing; the meeting recorded current 4th–5th enrollment at 294 with a planning ceiling of 345 and discussion that vacating the building could provide about 15 months for construction.
A committee member asked the project team to provide rough cost-related metrics tied to building square footage and common-area definitions so the committee can compare options on an apples-to-apples basis. He also recommended running an EdPlan heat-map test to evaluate how each option performs educationally.
"I'm gonna need a square footage of the building, and I'm also gonna need to have broken out of that all the common areas," the committee member said, requesting MSBA-comparable metrics. The project team said they anchored the designs to the EdPlan previously submitted to MSBA and will bring phasing, logistics and cost layers forward in future meetings.
Enrollment and phasing were discussed: the current 4th–5th enrollment was reported as 294 and the planning ceiling as 345; the committee noted that vacating the building for renovations could provide roughly 12–15 months of uninterrupted construction time tied to school-year calendars, simplifying phasing but requiring temporary student relocation planning.
