Section 1 INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND

Augusta County Public Schools

Augusta County Public Schools’ central administration offices are located in Verona, Virginia. The district serves 10,563 students and has 11 elementary, four middle, and five high schools. In addition, the district houses several regional programs including the Shenandoah Valley Governor’s School, Valley Vocational-Technical Center, and the Shenandoah Valley Consortium for Head Start.

Augusta County encompasses 971 square miles and includes the two independent cities of Staunton and Waynesboro. Each city operates their own school division independent of Augusta County Public Schools.

Government Organization

The District is governed by a seven-member board and operates under the Constitution and laws of the State. Each board member represents one of seven areas within the District and is elected by citizens of each respective district. Members of the Board are elected for four-year terms. The Board holds regular meetings once a month and special meetings as needed. All meetings are open to the public as provided by law and agenda items are prepared in advance.

The Board appoints a chief executive officer for the Division, designated as the Superintendent, who serves at the discretion of the Board. The Superintendent is responsible to the Board for the administration of all schools and departments of the District.

The District employs 1,630 employees, including 880 teachers, 81 administrators, and 669 classified staff.

The Community

A community profile for the County of Augusta is provided in Appendix C. The profile contains information on a broad range of factors including demographics of the population, economy, housing, employers and the labor force, and educational attainment of the citizens. Such data are useful for understanding growth trends, ethnicity, income, and mobility needs of a population. A profile provides basic information and understanding of the community as a whole.

AUGUSTA COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2015-2025

Executive Summary The Augusta County Schools’ Capital Facilities Plan is a description of anticipated capital facility needs and anticipated expenditures for the next ten years. The Plan identifies the capital needs of the school system to include new facilities, additions, building infrastructure needs, facility maintenance needs, technology upgrades, and other projects and is presented to the School Board for their review and comment.

The Plan is intended to be reviewed and revised each year for the succeeding ten years.

The Plan is not intended to be the sole planning tool for determining capital facilities needs of the District and is not intended to serve as a budget document; however, the document provides a framework from which future budgets may be developed. The Plan assesses the ability of the District’s facilities to assist in the delivery of the educational program adopted by the District. The plan looks at the need for the District to modernize and/or replace existing. The plan is based on current conditions. The projects and associated costs in this plan are to be updated annually to adapt to changing facility needs, conditions, and demographic changes within the community. The funding source for capital needs will be from the School Board’s operational budget or the School Capital Improvement Program which currently has an authorized annual debt ceiling of $7,256,250. It is anticipated the revenue stream generated from the retirement of school construction debt will be utilized to assist in meeting major capital needs such as building renovations and/or new construction.

The Capital Improvement Plan is focused on maintaining existing facilities to ensure their proper operation, safety, and the ability to accommodate changing academic programs in order to meet our student’s needs. Major mechanical and maintenance projects as well as the modernization of our oldest facilities will continue to be an on-going need as our buildings age. Construction of new facilities will replace those schools that were constructed based upon a “pod” design which are inherently inefficient, possess an aged infrastructure, expose students to inclement weather, and pose safety concerns.

In this capital improvement plan, facility maintenance is addressed by either “Building Infrastructure” needs or “Facilities Maintenance” needs. Building Infrastructure projects are necessary when many building components are simultaneously nearing the end of their useful life due to age and the facility needs a more comprehensive approach. Infrastructure needs may include for example replacement of major building systems (roof, HVAC, etc.), and may also include the replacement of lighting, flooring, windows, water lines, and sewer replacement. Facilities Maintenance projects are the replacement of individual building components then they

1—3

are no longer functioning or have reached an age when repairs are no longer possible due to cost or the lack of available replacement parts. Additionally, these aging components were not designed with current technologies that would conserve energy.

This plan identifies projects using the following criteria

• Major maintenance projects needed to maintain the structural and mechanical soundness of existing facilities.

• Renovation and modernization to existing facilities that are aging and in need of a major overhaul to renew materials and building systems at the end of their life cycle.

• Technology upgrades • Additional classroom spaces required to provide specialized instructional space and relief

to overcrowded schools. • New facilities needed to address overcrowding, or consolidation of multiple schools to

gain operational efficiencies, or to replace inefficient, aged, and unsafe facilities.

1—4

Background and Development

The capital improvement plan is a management tool for planning the capital improvement projects that will be needed to house students adequately or to support the educational mission, including the maintenance of facilities. As such, it is useful for (1) estimating capital improvement expenditures over the future ten-year period, (2) identifying short- and long-range (ten-year) building and maintenance projects, and (3) establishing priorities for the orderly completion of projects. The purpose of this report is to present the School Board’s Proposed Capital Improvement Plan for the school system for the 2015-2025 planning period. The capital improvement plan includes the following types of projects:

• Building Infrastructure – the replacement of mechanical systems, roofs, and large maintenance projects.

• Facilities Maintenance Needs – the ongoing need for renovation or modernization of existing facilities.

• New or expanded permanent facilities. • Special initiatives related to prioritizing school infrastructure needs, implementing

school technology upgrades, or other campus improvements.

System-Wide Facility Modernization Evaluation

Modernization Needs and Objectives

Research indicates buildings have a finite life of approximately 50-80 years provided the building is properly maintained throughout that time period. Additionally, as addressed in the Building Infrastructure section, major building systems such as roofs and HVAC have a shorter life span of about 15-20 years before replacement is required. With seventy five percent of Augusta County Public Schools, 15 of the 20 schools, being over 30 years of age, our facilities are aging and it is anticipated that many facilities require a major modernization in order to extend the useful life of the facility, bring the building up to current standards, and avoid potential system and/or structural failures. It is imperative that a system-wide approach is used to evaluate school facilities to determine facility priorities, the need for replacement or modernization, and a preliminary cost estimate. Timely facility modernizations protect Augusta County Public Schools’ facility investment, avoid costly and unexpected system failures, ensure a safe and secure learning environment, and provide a facility that supports the current educational program.

A modernization may include many of the major building systems (roof, HVAC, etc.), and may also include the replacement of lighting, flooring, windows, casework, etc. Additionally, modernizations may include the installation of the infrastructure necessary to support current technology tools as well as a more mobile computing environment.

School Support Facilities

The School Board administrative and instructional support services offices are located at the Augusta County Government Center in Verona.

The Shenandoah Valley Head Start Consortium offices as well Maintenance Services and Transportation Services are currently located in surplus military (WWII) structures in Fishersville. The county’s Government Center Master Plan has planned for the eventual relocation of the facilities to Verona. The cost to relocate these facilities could range from $7 million to $10 million. No specific time frame has been associated with the relocation of these facilities (Augusta County Capital Improvement Plan, Version 1, July 1, 2014).

Section 2 INFRASTRUCTURE

Building Infrastructure Needs

This section provides information about current facilities, existing facility needs, and expected future facility requirements for Augusta County Schools. Research based average life expectancy of HVAC equipment, piping, roofing, and other building components were utilized to compile the list of infrastructure needs (see Appendix A for Building Component Useful-Life Standards). In most cases, actual counts of equipment numbers and square footages were utilized in preparing cost estimates. Cost estimates were derived from prior Augusta County School Board infrastructure replacement projects and research of remodeling project cost estimates for building renovation projects. No allowances were made on estimated costs for inflation of manufactured goods and/or services.

The economic downturn of recent years coupled with state budget cuts to education have caused the school division to use available resources to address educational programs and employee salaries and benefits at a time where there have been increasing needs to maintain existing facilities. The following infrastructure lists are quite extensive and exceed available funding resources. However, a well-developed facilities plan must identify these items as they are considered essential needs in maintaining a safe and efficient learning environment.

The total projected cost of the 10-year Building Infrastructure needs is $12,591,000 (see Table 2). These costs assume that all current facilities remain in operation. The cost of the infrastructure needs exceed available funding resources. Historically, the school division’s annual operational budget has not been able to support the level of expenditures as outlined in the summary table below; however, savings realized in the operational budget have been used at year-end to address some capital needs (a history of year-end operational fund balances in provided in Appendix C) . The school division’s Capital Improvement Program account has mostly been utilized to meet the debt payment schedule of bond issuances. Planning dictates that the operational budget and the school CIP account will have to share in support of these costs in future years.

CAPITAL FACILITIES PLANBUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE

Cost estimates were derived from prior Augusta County School Board infrastructure replacement projects and research of remodeling project cost estimates for building renovation projects. Estimated costs in future years do not include an allowance for inflation nor do they incorporate technology infrastructure upgrades.

Technology Infrastructure: Multi-Year Strategic Planning

Like roofs and HVAC systems, technology is another major component of a school building’s infrastructure, though technology has an even shorter life span than most other maintenance and infrastructure components. The strategic planning process for technology must remain cognizant of the fact that advances in software, hardware, and the means by which information is accessed and delivered continues to change and evolve at an ever-increasing pace. These changes coupled with increasing costs, limited resources, and expanding enterprise requirements, will force the division to continually focus on maximizing efficiency wherever possible.

The school division’s current standard is to design facilities with an electrical and mechanical infrastructure capable of supporting existing and future instructional technology. The goal is to establish an infrastructure that will support an increasingly mobile computing environment with the potential to support one-on-one computing in the future. Current technology tools include interactive white boards, document cameras, printers, copy machines, surveillance and access control systems for the building, paging and classroom audio systems, as well as the distribution of video. Along with all of these hardware components, technology includes the software and the data network required. The convergence of voice, video, and data onto the data network requires a robust technology infrastructure as well as adequate power and HVAC systems to support the additional equipment.

2—6

Within the school division, several schools have been constructed and renovated within the last fifteen years and although a major modernization of these schools is not necessary at this time, a major technology upgrade is warranted. The multi-year strategic plan for ACPS technology contains components that are relevant to the long-range vision. This includes programs and projects that are vital to ACPS operations. The division develops strategies and plans to construct an environment that is flexible, scalable, maintainable, supportable, manageable, and secure. Multi-Year Needs Assessment

These costs are intended to provide an outline of future funding requirements but may not necessarily reflect costs used for budget planning especially for years that extend further into the future as these costs and needs will likely change over time. Computer Replacement

There are more than 3,500 computers used by students, faculty, and staff in the Augusta County School division. Equipment used by students and faculty is aging with 50% of the computers in the inventory over five years old. Presently, there is roughly 1 computer for every 4 children in the division. Funding for computer replacement is limited. Without adequate replacement funding, the age of the computer inventory will continue to increase causing difficulty running the software used by many of our students and staff. Sustained annual funding over $1.3 million is required to grow the number of devices to support 1 computer for every 2 children and to maintain a three-year replacement cycle of all ACPS school computers. This cost will be embedded in the school division’s annual operating budget. Presently, ACPS is using capital improvement funds to purchase mobile computers as part of the division’s Digital Transformation Initiative. These funds represent an advance on the future sale of the Ladd Elementary School property and will not be available after the 2016-17 school year. The $1.3 million needed to maintain a three-year replacement cycle for all devices will need to be supported from operational funds. It is important to recognize that as computers are replaced that an equal distribution of computers to schools contributes to, but does not guarantee, equity. True equity involves the ability of students, teachers, and staff members to use those computers effectively to enhance instruction and school operations. It involves equal access to supporting technology and resources. These resources include professional development, support, and the information that is needed to effectively use the technologies for the education of students.

2—7

Network Equipment Replacement

These funds are to replace/upgrade network equipment as it comes to end of life and is no longer supported by the vendor. Such infrastructure consists of core switches, bandwidth capacity, local area switches, wireless access points, servers, and data storage units. Over the past several years there has been an explosive growth in each of these areas; Internet Bandwidth, ACPS Core Bandwidth, WAN Bandwidth to Schools, Local Area Network Switches and wireless access points. To keep up with the progression we will need to upgrade areas of our core infrastructure. For any ten-year period going forward, it is estimated that a capital cost of $6 million dollars is needed to replace the network infrastructure twice during that period – a five-year life-cycle for the equipment involved. For the ten-year period beginning the fall of 2014, Augusta County Schools anticipate capital needs of approximately $4 million to replace and upgrade network infrastructure (see Table 3).

Technology Infrastructure Costs *

*These costs are related only to infrastructure needs and do not include the cost of computers, tablets, or other handheld computing devices.

ACPS has funding for the first replacement cycle that begins in the fall of 2014 by utilizing the funds available from the future sale of Ladd Elementary School. The lower cost in Year One is a result of using operating funds to pay for some infrastructure upgrades. The equipment being replaced and upgraded in this cycle includes PoE (power over Ethernet) distribution switches, wireless access points, wireless controllers, and associated cable.

2—8

The next replacement is scheduled to begin in the seventh year, 2020-2021, and continue through the ninth year, 2022-2023. ACPS estimates a cost of $1million dollars for each of the three years. ACPS anticipates a more significant infrastructure upgrade to accommodate an increase in the number of mobile devices accessing the network and in increase in the bandwidth required between schools and the network operating center. Estimating costs for technology upgrades that are scheduled more than five years out is challenging to due changes in the technology. Routine replacement of other aging infrastructure equipment (e.g., core switches, firewalls) is funded through the annual operational budget. Student Home Computer and Internet Access

In order to address the digital-divide and ensure equitable access for all students to instruction 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, students without Internet and computing resources in their home must be provided support in obtaining these critical resources. ACPS IT and Instructional Departments see an opportunity to work jointly with the county to seek ways to address this significant challenge for our neediest students. Funding would be determined at a later time.

The planning and determination of technology needs is not a one-time event, it is an on-going cyclical process which requires continual planning, implementation, and checking outcomes in order to improve our processes.

Section 3 CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION OF FACILITIES

Principles Behind the Plan

Augusta County Public Schools’ facilities are an expression of the community’s commitment to educate and to invest in its children and its future. Based upon this principal, the 2015-2025 Capital Improvement Plan has incorporated the following academic and design features. Principles behind the plan include:

• Provide facilities that meet the curricular and extracurricular program needs of our students, that are logically designed and, to the extent possible, that are flexible enough to adapt to changing requirements.

• Provide facilities that support and enhance the use of current and future technology • Plan schools that have sufficient space to house current and projected students. • Evaluate potential consolidation of schools in order to increase operational

efficiencies and achieve higher utilization of instructional spaces. • Design and construct school facilities free of safety hazards. • Design and construct school facilities in harmony with the history and architecture of

the community. • Construct and maintain school facilities to be structurally sound, clean, efficient, safe

and attractive. • Provide facilities that meet the requirements of the centralized support services, such

as transportation and plant operation and maintenance.

Guidelines for School Facilities and New School Sites

When additional facility space is required, existing facility expansion is considered before the construction of new facilities unless the current facility is in such condition that renovation/expansion is not a cost effective option. If a new facility is required, it is planned to provide the basic instructional, administrative, and extracurricular programs of the school system. Design and construction of a new school’s central facilities, or core infrastructure (cafeteria, auditorium, media center, and administrative unit) should adequately address near-term and long-term projected enrollments. Design capacity may be a factor of current attendance, planned adjustments in attendance zones, or planned and/or projected population growth.

Several considerations are used when determining the location of a new school site. These considerations include:

• Adequate road frontage and ease of access • Proximity to compatible services, such as athletic fields, and utilities • Adjacent zoning

3—2

• Adhere to, or exceed, the Virginia Department of Education guidelines when determining useable acreage required for a school site (see below) – to provide adequate site acreage to separate pedestrian, bus, and car traffic

• The configuration of the site, the curricular and extracurricular educational program (including physical education and playing fields), and local requirements (including parking and storm water management) will impact the guidelines and the size of the site.

• Additional considerations would be the shape of the site, topography, and soil conditions.

• Adequate perimeter road circulation for emergency response vehicles.

In order to accommodate appropriate sized facilities and grounds, the guidelines for school site size are as follows:

• Elementary Schools: 4 acres + 1 acre/100 pupils • Middle Schools: 10 acres + 1 acre/100 pupils • High Schools 10 acres + 1 acre/100 pupils

Riverheads Elementary

The current school was built in 1970 and is situated on approximately 10 acres. The school is a “pod-type” design. The division operated four pod-type elementary schools up until the closure of Ladd in 2013. The other pod-type schools include Hugh Cassell Elementary and Verona Elementary. The pod-type design provided for an “open classroom,” an innovation that swept through the United States between the late 1960s and early 1970s. The idea being that about 100 students and their three or four teachers would mingle, learning together and sharing ideas and lesson plans. What happened instead was that many children were distracted by students in other classes and teachers going over unrelated work a few feet away. Teachers carved out their own rooms by building walls of bookcases, coat racks, blackboards and vertical files or open classrooms were subdivided with movable partitions.

Inherent disadvantages of the pod-type design include increased safety and security concerns, student exposure to temperature extremes and inclement weather and lost instructional time due to preparing for transitions or class changes. Riverheads’ electrical system is insufficient to support the needs of current technology and online testing. The plumbing system is failing and needs significant upgrades. In summary, most of the school’s infrastructure is inadequate to ensure safe, efficient, and an instructionally conducive learning environment. The pod-type design does not lend itself to infrastructure upgrades due to limited interior space and underground utilities are covered by buildings and/or sidewalks.

The new facility will be approximately 91,000 square feet and designed for 750 pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade students and will be situated on a site adjacent to Riverheads High School. The design calls for a three-story building which efficiently utilizes the site’s topography. The projected time-line for construction is 14-16 months. Construction is anticipated to begin in the

3—4

fall of 2014 with completion scheduled for the summer of 2016. The estimated cost for the project is $18.6 million.

Wilson Middle

Wilson Middle School opened in 2005 with a program capacity of 520. Enrollment as of June 2014 was 571, or 109.8% of capacity. Projected enrollment for the 2018-2019 school year is 575, or 110.6% of capacity, based upon current attendance zones. Adjustments to the current attendance boundary lines would impact future enrollments. The design of the school allows for classrooms to be added onto one of the instructional wings. The projected cost of eight classrooms to accommodate 160 additional students is approximately $2.2 million. The core infrastructure of the building was designed to accommodate 750 students. The projected construction time would be one year. The design and construction of the additional classroom could be completed for the summer of 2016.

Hugh Cassell Elementary

The school was built in 1973 and sets on approximately 41 acres. As previous referenced, this school is of a pod-type design and possess the same disadvantages associated with this type of design as does Riverheads Elementary including students exposed to weather, aging infrastructure (except for electrical), safety and security, and loss instructional time due to transitioning. The kitchen was renovated following a fire in 2011. The electrical system was upgraded throughout the buildings at that time as well. The kitchen renovation and electrical upgrade cost approximately $1 million. It is anticipated that a new school design will incorporate the newly renovated kitchen and existing administrative building. Initial consideration for capacity is 750 students. The actual enrollment of June 2014 of 506 exceeded the program capacity of the school. Projected enrollment for the 2018-2019 school year is 480, or 96% of capacity. Enrollment projections assume no changes in current attendance zones.

Currently included in the proposed Ten-Year Capital Facilities Plan are $1.438 million in needed infrastructure improvement for the current facility. These include replacement of rooftop ventilation units, sewer and water lines, school-wide plumbing fixtures, heat pumps, and a lighting retrofit.

The estimated cost for the project is $17.6 million (assuming a significant portion of the project involves new construction). This cost is based upon the per pupil cost of the Riverheads Elementary School less the investment already made in the renovation to the kitchen and electrical upgrades and is subject to change based upon inflation, design specifics, site attributes, and general economic and construction market conditions. A feasibility study should be undertaken to identify the scope of work and the degree of renovation and/or new construction. The projected time-line for completion of this project is the summer of 2017.

Riverheads and Buffalo Gap Middle School Wings

The addition of middle school classroom wings at Riverheads High School and Buffalo Gap High School would allow the middle schools students from these districts to remain vertically aligned with their respective elementary and high schools. The facilities would accommodate approximately 450 to 500 students and encompass approximately $72,900 square feet each. The configuration of a middle school wing would be efficient in that common spaces such as food service and physical education facilities could be shared with the high school. The design would provide for a separate, secure main entrance, grade level grouping, STEM flexible learning areas, faculty work rooms, and support and resource rooms.

The addition of these two middle school facilities would eliminate the transport of students from Riverheads and Buffalo Gap to Beverley Manor Middle School. The elimination of these bus routes would result in an average annual operational savings in labor and fuel in the amount of $39,000, exclusive of vehicle maintenance and depreciation costs. In addition instructional time for students would be increased. Students who presently attend BMMS would gain 24 minutes each day by attending a middle school at Buffalo Gap. Students attending middle school at Riverheads would gain 34 minutes each day. These numbers are based on the difference in instructional time from 2013-14 master schedules for BMMS, BGHS and RHS and will vary only slightly over the next several years.

BMMS students also benefit from a move to middle school wings by increasing the opportunity for advanced coursework. While our other middle schools already benefit from close proximity to a high school, BMMS has had to rely on virtual programs or hiring teachers specifically to provide advanced coursework in mathematics. Collaborative hiring and scheduling may provide new instructional opportunities to middle school students in the southern and western portions of our county.

The projected costs of the middle school additions at Riverheads and Buffalo Gap are $14.3 million and $14.6 respectively. The projected time-line for completion of this project is the summer of 2023 and is contingent upon the ability of the School Capital Improvement Program to fund the project.

Section 4 Mothballing of Schools

The decision to mothball a school profoundly affects a variety of stakeholders. However, amidst circumstances of declining enrollment and economic necessity, at times such a decision cannot be avoided. Consideration needs to be given to how the potential mothballing of a school could affect or reinforce the division’s Capital Facilities Plan.

Guidelines for Determining if a School is to be Mothballed

The following tasks and criteria need to be considered in determining if a school should be mothballed.

• Evaluation of enrollment projections including historical school data trends and potential growth initiated by development and construction and their impact on space utilization.

• Inventory the capacity and conditions of existing facilities. The capacity of a school to accommodate additional students includes core facilities – library, multipurpose room, cafeteria, gymnasium, and toilets. While there may be room on a school site to add portable classrooms, there may be limited room to accommodate additional students in these core areas.

• Determine per-student operating cost at each facility. The operating cost of a school will include personnel, energy consumption and needed capital improvements.

• Consider uniqueness of the educational program at each site. Special program facilities, such as providing services for special education students, may require special facilities. Closing a school where a large capital investment in these special facilities exists may not be cost effective if those specialized facilities need to be rebuilt elsewhere.

• Identify specific new environmental/safety concerns for each site. Environmental factors surrounding a school may have changed since it was first opened. Zoning may have been changed to allow for commercial development, or there might be new environmental hazards (i. e., pipelines, high voltage power lines, fuel storage tanks, etc.) that now compromise the safety of the students at a school.

• Determine cost-savings projected for each school considered to be mothballed. The reduction in operational costs is crucial and needs to be an integral part of the decision-making process when evaluating the potential mothballing of a school.

• Identify transportation options for displaced students. Transportation is a factor in the decision to mothball a school. Not only from an operational cost perspective, but how routes and pick up and drop off times for students will be altered.

• Consider cost benefits of property disposition/use options. • Recommend transition strategies.

Proposed Schedule of Schools to be Mothballed

Beverley Manor Elementary

Following the scheduled completion of the new Riverheads Elementary School in 2016, Beverley Manor Elementary School will be made inactive (mothballed). Students who would have attended Beverley Manor Elementary School will be attending either Riverheads Elementary School or Churchville Elementary School resulting in an improved vertical alignment as these students will eventually attend high schools that are in closer proximity to these elementary schools.

The capacity of the new Riverheads Elementary School will be 750. The June 2014 enrollment for Riverheads Elementary was 544. If enrollment remains relative stable, the new Riverheads Elementary School could absorb up to approximately 200 of the students who would have been attending Beverley Manor Elementary.

Churchville Elementary School’s capacity is 540. Current enrollment, as of June 2014, is 317; or an utilization factor of 58.7%. Churchville could potentially absorb approximately 233 students. The current enrollment of Beverley Manor Elementary is 365, with a utilization factor of 70.2%. The redistribution of these students to Riverheads and Churchville could easily be accomplished given the fact that there would be a combined 429 available seats, and thus allowing both Riverheads and Churchville to operate at a relative high degree of utilization of capacity.

The Beverley Manor facility could possibly be repurposed as a site for the Shenandoah Valley Governor’s School. Currently, the Governor’s School occupies space at Valley Vocational-Technical Center. With ongoing efforts to offer courses that are in response to employer needs and to provide quality training for the tomorrow’s work force, Valley Vocational-Technical Center could utilize the space for that would be available should the Governor’s School relocate for expanded course offerings. The facility would offer flexibility to accommodate the Governor’s School curriculum including providing a stage for the performing arts. Additionally, the facility could serve to house the Augusta County Department of Parks and Recreation or other community based services.

Verona Elementary

Verona Elementary, as previously referenced, was built based upon a pod-type design. This type of design inherently heightens concerns for safety and security. In addition, students are exposed to temperature extremes and inclement weather and lost instructional time due to preparing for transitions or class changes. The facility is need of more than $1.9 million in infrastructure repairs within the next five years to address HVAC replacements/controls, replacement of water and sewer lines and all plumbing fixtures, an electrical upgrade, and a lighting retrofit.

4—3

Verona would be taken offline following the 2016-2017 school year and the renovation to Hugh Cassell Elementary. The division would have no remaining pod-type schools in operation. The June 2014 enrollment for Verona Elementary was 330. These students would be reassigned based upon revised attendance zones. The recommendations of the Boundary Line Committee will not be available until 2015. Based upon the projected 2018-2019 enrollments, Clymore, North River, and Churchville elementary schools could increase their enrollments without exceeding capacity.

Beverley Manor Middle

The addition of middle school classroom wings at Riverheads Highs School and Buffalo Gap High School would allow the middle schools students from these districts to remain vertically aligned with their respective elementary and high schools. There would no longer be a need to have Beverley Manor Middle School online. It was previously referenced that one of the potential uses for Beverley Manor Elementary School was to serve host to the Shenandoah Valley Governor’s School. Alternatively, Beverley Manor Middle could be utilized as the site for the Governor’s School. The disadvantage for using BMMS would be the period of time associated with the building of the middle school wings at Riverheads and Buffalo Gap – as these projects would not come online until the 2023-2024 school year.

Operational Cost Savings

With the addition of classroom wings at Riverheads and Buffalo Gap High Schools it is estimated that the elimination of shuttle bus runs to Beverley Manor Middle would generate a savings of $39,000 annually. No additional operational cost savings related to the mothballing of Beverley Manor Middle School are known at this time and will require future in-depth analysis. While the precise impact on transportation costs associated with potential boundary line adjustments throughout the division is unknown at this time, it is anticipated that the mothballing of these three schools would result in other significant operational cost savings. These savings could be used to address improvements in the salary scales and ongoing facility maintenance and infrastructure needs. The projected operational cost savings and the related infrastructure costs that would be eliminated by mothballing these schools are provided in Table 5.

Section 5 Redistricting

Attendance Area Adjustment Process

The School Board may direct the Superintendent to recommend the establishment of a Boundary Line Committee to evaluate the potential need for attendance zone adjustments following the submission of the Ten-Year Capital Facilities Plan. It is anticipated that a division-wide study to review elementary, middle, and high school attendance zones in an effort to efficiently utilize program capacities will require approximately one year. One must recognize and realize that adjusting boundary lines for attendance is a process, not an exact science. Continued efforts to refine the process will be ongoing. Throughout this process, the School Board will continue to adhere to their philosophy and policies. First, the Board continues to endorse their Plan of Organization for instruction by maintaining the instructional configuration which is elementary school grades K-5; middle school grades 6-8; and high school grades 9-12. Secondly, efforts to maintain the concept that feeder school populations will continue to be affiliated with an existing middle school and/or high school attendance area in order to promote community tradition, allegiance, and pride. Thirdly, to provide all students the best physical learning environment possible by uniform and equitable utilization of facilities according to the needs of the educational program that will produce successful 21st Century Learners.

• The attendance areas adjustment process for Augusta County Schools begins with the appointment of the Boundary Line Committee by the School Board.

• The committee will be comprised of a Central Office administrator(s), a building administrator from the schools within the attendance zone being evaluated, teacher(s), and School Board members.

• The committee develops potential boundary change scenarios that follow regulations and prepares data to show the effects of potential changes on the number of current students at affected sites. Possible alternatives are reviewed with appropriate staff.

• The committee will review possible alternatives with the Superintendent and School Board members.

• The School Board schedules date for initial presentation of the proposed plan, public hearing date(s), and location(s), for community and public input.

• The school division prepares and disseminates a public notice.

• Information packets for affected schools and letters to parents and patrons in the affected area are mailed directly to families and sent home with students.

5—2

• The proposed plan and supporting information are shared with the affected parent-teacher organizations, civic groups and other stakeholders as needed.

• The School Board conducts a public hearing(s) on the proposed plan that includes the Committee’s proposals and receives input on such adjustments.

• The School Board considers the public’s input and makes a final decision.

Planning Principles for School Attendance Zones

The following guidelines are to be used when evaluating school attendance zones and/or boundary line adjustments:

• Explore all viable options for accommodating students before constructing new schools and/or additions including: the review of existing school attendance zones, utilization of portable classrooms for temporary space until enrollment stabilizes, and possible relocation of instruction programs.

• Evaluate per pupil operational costs for each school. The per pupil expenditures by school for fiscal year 2012-2013 are provided in Table 6.

• Establish boundary lines for school zone changes according to minimum and maximum enrollment guidelines that will reduce overcrowding scenarios, near school capacity facilities, or efficiency for operational and cost savings.

• Plan to stabilize school attendance zone boundaries to the extent possible by considering current enrollment, utilizing projected student population growth through historical school data, and speculating potential growth initiated by the ever changing rezoning and construction of housing units.

• Reviewing the existing Comprehensive Plan for the County of Augusta. • Reevaluate the operational capacity of school buildings regularly based on the current

instructional program in each building. • Reevaluate and revise annually, all proposals (such as new construction projects,

renovations, and attendance zone adjustments) for inclusion in the School Board’s ten-year Proposed Capital Improvement Plan

Procedural Guidelines

The following procedural guidelines are used when attendance zones are adjusted:

• Major roads and natural boundaries will be used whenever feasible to define attendance zones.

• Consider road intersections. • Avoid the transporting of students through another school’s attendance area. • All reasonable efforts should be made to ensure contiguous geographic zones which

minimize division of clearly identifiable community components (e.g. apartment units, residential subdivisions).

• Efforts will be made to ensure an efficient system of school bus transportation. • Provisions should be made to ensure the continuity of a child's K-12 progress.

A link to access the current attendance zones can be found in Appendix B.

Enrollments

There are several methods by which school enrollments can be measured. The most common two are Average Daily Attendance (ADA) and Average Daily Membership (ADM). The Average Daily Attendance (ADA) calculates the frequency at which students attend school. Attendance rates are used in calculating the federal measure of adequate yearly progress. The Average Daily Membership (ADM) is a count of students that is taken at different times of the year to satisfy local, state and federal data collection needs and also to ensure that school districts are adequately funded, according to student population. Average Daily Membership (ADM) is a specific count of enrollment at a particular site collected at various times throughout the school year. ADM drives school funding and local, state, and federal data collection. ADM is more consistent than Average Daily Attendance (ADA) as it does not rely solely on attendance, but instead on the overall number of students on the roll throughout the course of the year. A student can miss five straight days and negatively impact ADA but have no impact at all on ADM.

The Average Daily Membership information for Augusta County Schools as reported to the Virginia Department of Education does not include pre-school students, Shenandoah Valley Regional Program Students, or Consolidated Services Act students. A 20-year history of the Average Daily Membership as reported to VADOE is provided in Table 7.

Average Daily Membership as Reported to DOE in March

Although pre-school students, Shenandoah Valley Regional Program Students, or Consolidated Services Act students are not included in the reporting of the Average Daily Membership, these students do receive instructionally related services and occupy classroom space. Thus, they must be included in evaluating total enrollments and in determining utilization of instructional space. School utilization planning is necessary to provide effective learning environments for all students. Well utilized schools have ample learning spaces for all students in attendance, as well as sufficient common spaces to support educational programs and enrollment. School utilization planning requires an understanding of space needs for the range of academic programs offered in a school, as well as classroom and common spaces available for student use and the number of students anticipated in the future.

Section 6 Facilities Maintenance Needs

While the planning, design, and construction of the school facility may take two to three years, the management of it will last the entire life cycle of the facility. At the beginning of this century, the average age of a school building in the United States was forty-two years, with 28 percent of school buildings built before 1950. Many of the building materials, furnishings, and equipment will not last half that long and will require constant upkeep, maintenance, and inevitable replacement to defer building obsolescence.

The costs of managing school facilities have historically received much less attention than facility planning. The percentage of the operating budget for the maintenance and management of school facilities has steadily decreased, creating a capital renewal crisis as a result of years of deferred maintenance at all levels of education.

Best practice requires that a comprehensive facility maintenance program be established and monitored by the school district. The maintenance program often includes several distinct programs, including deferred, preventive, repair/upkeep, and emergency maintenance. Responsibility for facility management is divided between the district office and the school site, with the principal being the primary administrator responsible for the day-to-day operation of the school, including custodial, food, and transportation services. Custodians are typically hired by the school district but managed by the principal. Custodial staff is generally responsible for cleaning the building; monitoring the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems; and providing general maintenance of both building and grounds. District staff is responsible for long-term maintenance programs and the procurement of outsourced services for specialized maintenance projects.

Several environmental quality issues have emerged over the past few decades, such as classroom acoustics, indoor air quality, water quality, energy conservation, and abatement of asbestos, radon, and other hazardous materials. Many of these issues require the services of facility consultants hired through the district. Other issues for the building-level administrator include safety and security, vandalism and threats, and acts of violence and terrorism. All of these functions must be conducted within a constantly changing set of government mandates, such as energy deregulation, accessibility guidelines, codes, and other regulations and guidelines at the state and federal levels.

A comprehensive maintenance plan is established to develop, maintain, and/or improve the maintenance program of the public school system to support the delivery of educational programs and services and to provide a safe and healthy environment as effectively and efficiently as possible.

The following is an evolving list of renovation and modernization needs for Augusta County Schools that will need to be funded through the school division’s operational budget. Not all items can be funded in a fiscal year, thus budgeting to meet these needs will be on-going. The list does not take into account any potential mothballing of sites.

Section 7 Funding for Capital Projects

Capital Improvement Program Funding

Traditionally, Augusta County has used two sources for funding school capital projects: loans from the state Literary Fund, or by participating in a general obligation bond sale through the Virginia Public Schools Authority. The General Assembly created the VPSA in 1962 as a political subdivision and an agency of the Commonwealth. The statutory purpose of the VPSA is to provide bond financing to localities to fund capital projects for school purposes. The VPSA sells its bonds to obtain funds to purchase school bonds of localities in Virginia. Under the Virginia Constitution and state statutory law, localities may sell their school bonds to the VPSA without holding a referendum on the question of contracting debt. VPSA financings provide low cost financing and market access to localities which may not otherwise have ready access. Additionally, localities can plan the funding of their construction projects according to the predictable semi-annual schedule of sales to the VPSA, while shifting a significant portion of the administrative costs generally associated with issuing bonds to the VPSA. The following basic schedule provides an outline of the public process necessary for the issuance of general obligation school bonds:

• School Board resolution to request the governing body to take necessary steps to issue a bond to the VPSA.

• Resolution of the governing body to (i) consent to the School Board’s application to the VPSA to participate in the bond sale, and (ii) call a public hearing on the proposed bond issuance.

• Submit the VPSA application form to the Treasury • Publish notice of public hearing on the proposed bond issuance. • Hold public hearing. • Resolution of the governing body to authorize the bond issuance. • File Authorizing Resolution with the Circuit Court • School Board Resolution to consent to the issuance.

The VPSA sets the closing date and provides an estimated financing schedule to coordinate the bond sales of the participating localities. Generally, it requires 6-8 weeks to accomplish the necessary governmental process. Beginning in 1999, additional funding was made available at the state level through lottery proceeds and funds specifically identified for school construction. Due to the economic downturn the state is no longer providing this limited funding for capital projects. Additionally,

7—2

no money is available from the state Literary Fund. At this time, it is unclear whether the state will reinstate the funding for school capital projects in the future. Construction Costs

The cost figures utilized to estimate the cost of new and renovated school facilities in the school division are updated annually. When determining these estimates the following are considered:

• Virginia Averages for Construction Costs of School Buildings published annually by the Virginia Department of Education

• Projects currently under design for which detailed cost estimates have been prepared • Recently bid projects • Consultation with architects, contractors, and neighboring school systems • Other construction costs data such as the yearly update of the Building Construction

Cost Data published by R.S. Means Company, Inc. Many factors impact construction costs. Some of the most important are (1) the number of other large construction projects either online or soon to be online, (2) the availability and cost of manpower, (3) the availability and cost of materials, (4) fluctuations in the rate of inflation, (5) location, (6) physical site conditions, (7) resource availability, and (8) the effect of the global economy. Beginning in December 2003, the price of all types of construction materials and labor experienced sharp increases. Prices continued to increase beginning in late 2003 and into 2004, as increasing costs of steel and steel products were being experienced across the United States and in the global market. By the end of 2008, the economy began to significantly slow and the number of construction projects declined. Because of this, costs submitted by the successful bidders generally decreased due to market competition for the minimal work available. As can be seen in Table 10 and Chart 1, the cost of school construction in Virginia has increased at a modest pace from 1993 through 2003. School construction costs then accelerated significantly beginning in 2004 through 2007. This acceleration generally mirrored the overall construction boom (residential, commercial, etc.) during that period. As the economy began to slow, elementary and middle school construction costs also began to decrease in 2008 and 2009. No new high school construction costs were available for 2009. Most recently, state-wide average school construction costs experienced a modest increase in 2010 and 2011, however no middle school costs were available. In 2012, construction costs were available for all school levels and indicated a slight decline at the elementary and high school levels. Middle school constructions costs increased since the last reported data in 2009. This recent data suggests that school construction costs are relatively favorable. In identifying cost estimates to prepare proposed construction budgets, the school system is guided first by the yearly update of the Virginia Averages for Construction Costs of School

Buildings. The information contained in this data is compared to data collected from the other sources listed previously. In addition, other school divisions whose cost data is contained in the Virginia average cost tabulation are consulted to compare information about how those projects compare to projects in the Shenandoah Valley.

The county’s annual school debt ceiling is $7,256,250. Currently, total annual school debt payments exceed this ceiling. However, there are sufficient funds available in the School CIP account to meet current obligations. Years in which the actual debt payments are less than the debt ceiling results in a funds being carried forward for future years. In addition, year-end fund balances from school operations are returned to the appropriating body and requested to be re-appropriated to the school CIP account. Thus, in years where actual debt payments exceed the authorized debt level, there are sufficient funds to meet obligations. Table 11 shows the current projected Analysis of School Debt Schedule and School CIP Fund Balance from fiscal year 2015 through fiscal year 2025. It is important to note that a significant amount of school construction debt (bond series: 1995A, 1995B, 1998A, 1999B, and 1999A) will be retired within the next five years as shown in the Schedule of School Debt (see Table 12).

Impact of Proposed Projects on School CIP

The School Capital Improvement Fund and projected cash flow analysis will be impacted by the proposed capital projects found in Table 13.

Table 13

In addition, the projected Analysis of School Debt Schedule & School CIP Fund Balance (Table 14) assumes an annual operational savings of $500,000 each from the mothballing of Beverley Manor Elementary beginning in fiscal year 2016-2017 and Verona Elementary in fiscal year 2017-2018 (line 8 of the Cash Flow Analysis schedule). The projected operational savings resulting from the closing of Beverley Manor Middle beginning in fiscal year 2023-2024 is $39,000 which represents the elimination of middle school bus routes from Riverheads and Buffalo Gap to the middle school. Additional savings may be realized, however, an in-depth analysis must be conducted to determine the impact on staffing and other operational costs associated with the closing of Beverley Manor Middle and the opening of two classrooms wings at Riverheads and Buffalo Gap. Beginning in fiscal year 2015-2016, $500,000 annually will be directed toward capital depreciation and infrastructure needs. Any additional operational savings from the mothballing of schools can be directed toward a bus replacement schedule, facilities maintenance needs, or the capital depreciation schedule.

The projected School CIP account ending balance remains positive each year until fiscal years 2024 and 2025. While the Cash Flow Analysis assumes no annual year-end funds from operations, in reality there will be year-end funds which would positively impact School CIP ending balances in future years.

Section 8 Summary & Timeline of Implementation

Ten-Year Plan Summary

The division’s ten-year plan addresses the need for new and renovated facilities, the potential for operational efficiency gains, increased utilization of student capacities, and directs funds toward facility maintenance and infrastructure needs. Specific initiatives addressed in this plan are:

• Proceed with the design phase of a new 750-student capacity Riverheads Elementary School in the fall of 2014 with construction to be completed for the opening of the 2016-2017 school year.

• Initiate a division-wide boundary line study in the fall of 2014 to review elementary, middle, and high school attendance zones with an effort being made to increase utilization of capacity.

• Allocate $500,000 per year to capital deprecation / infrastructure needs beginning in fiscal year 2015-2016.

• Mothballing of Beverley Manor Elementary School in 2016 following the opening of the new Riverheads Elementary School – with consideration given to alternative uses such as a site for the Shenandoah Valley Governor’s School or to house the Augusta County Department of Parks and Recreation or other community based services.

• Addition of eight classrooms to Wilson Middle School for the opening of the 2016-2017 school year.

• Renovation/new construction of Hugh Cassell Elementary with a capacity of 750 students with completion in the summer of 2017.

• Mothballing Verona Elementary School in 2017 following the renovation/construction of Hugh Cassell Elementary.

• Allocate $1,000,000 per year for three years Technology Infrastructure upgrades beginning in fiscal year 2020-2021.

• Construction of middle school wings at Riverheads and Buffalo Gap High Schools to open for the 2023-2024 school year followed by the mothballing of Beverley Manor Middle School.

The Ten-Year Capital Facilities Plan is to be used as a management tool. It allows for the review of factors that influence the formulation of Capital Budgets and the Capital Improvement Program. It identifies a time-line for future facilities planning and provides information that the community and the School Board need as they work toward addressing facilities-related issues and setting school system priorities.

Specifically, the plan addresses the following:

• The Need to Replace Facilities • Elimination of “Pod-Type” Facilities • The Need to Initiate Attendance Zone Review • Current Overcrowding • Flexibility for Future Increases in Enrollments • Vertical Alignment • Operational Efficiencies and Cost Savings • Increased Instructional Time • Reduction in Bus Travel / Deadhead Miles • Increased Utilization of School Capacities • Funding for Facility Infrastructure • Funding for Technology Infrastructure • Facility Maintenance Needs • Requires NO Increase in Annual Funding of Debt • Assumes NO Year-End Fund Balances from Operations

8—4

The implementation of this facilities plan in association with previous construction phases will allow Augusta County Schools to have addressed renovation and construction needs throughout the division. The initial three middle schools were built in 1978 and in the 1980s followed by capital project phases I through VI from 1992 through 2013 (see Table 15).

Funding the Depreciation Schedule

In the past the School Board has not had the opportunity to fund its depreciation schedule (infrastructure needs). This ten-year facilities plan is the initial step in addressing the need to fund depreciated assets and invest in infrastructure needs. While allowances have been made in this plan to address the ongoing need to invest in infrastructure, the needed improvements are greater than available resources. There is no doubt that facilities maintenance and infrastructure needs will continually be evolving and the associated costs of these needs is unclear the further projections are made into the future. Ongoing efforts must be maintained to direct additional monies to fund the division’s deprecation schedule. Sources of these funds may be any savings from the refinancing of debt obligations, year-end operational savings, or additional funding from the governing body. As older debt obligations are retired in years that extend beyond the scope of this plan, funding opportunities will exist to channel increased funding toward infrastructure needs. One option that could be implemented in the near-term would be to develop a “capital charge” budgeting concept to develop a reliable source of capital renewal funding. An annual amount would be incorporated into the operating budget and defined as a charge to create a reserve for funding capital renewal and debt reduction. Operational savings realized from the mothballing of facilities could allow funds to be earmarked for this purpose. This funding mechanism is incorporated into the Cash Flow Analysis of School CIP Account on page 7−9.
