Comprehensive Facility Plan Process—September 2014 to March 2015
September 25, 2014: Steering Committee [SC] Meeting #1
SC Members
After DeJONG-RICHTER has completed the District Background
Report, we invite the Steering Committee members to meet for the
first time. At this initial meeting, the committee reviews the draft
Background Report and provides the DeJONG-RICHTER team with
their initial questions, comments and feedback. Steering
Committee members take this report home for further analysis and
feedback in preparation for their second meeting. The Steering
Committee then selects their internal leadership to help publicize
community events and present their findings to the community.
October 2, 2014: Board Update
DeJONG-RICHTER
Updates to the Board will be presented on the current status of the
process. This meeting will include Background Report information,
Steering Committee meeting updates, and meeting logistics for the
first Community Dialogue.
October 14, 2014: SC Meeting #2
SC Members
The Steering Committee reconvenes shortly after their initial
meeting to make final edits to the Background Report which
provides a central reference in the planning process. The
Committee and the DeJONG-RICHTER team then prepare to
present the Background Report to the broader community and
develop a questionnaire to receive their feedback. The
questionnaire provides our team with important knowledge of local
history and sentiment relative to facilities, along with specific
strengths and challenges facing the District and the community.
These valuable insights help the DeJONG-RICHTER team personalize
the upcoming Community Dialogue.
November 3, 2014: Community Dialogue #1
SC& Community Members
The Community Dialogue is the first time for the Steering Committee
and the DeJONG-RICHTER team to present the Committee’s
approved Background Report to the public, giving a “state of the
district” in terms of data relevant to the Facility Master Planning
process. The primary goal of this meeting is to receive community
feedback regarding the Educational Framework that will set the
parameters for planning.
By utilizing questionnaires and small group dynamic, members of
the community will be provided an opportunity to provide their
views and insights on a variety of educational topics such as school
size, grade configurations, future use of portables, program delivery,
etc… It is important to note that the community does not “vote”
through the process, though feedback from the community is vital
to determine the community’s current support for a variety of
initiatives and facility options.
We realize that not all members of the community will be able to
attend the community meetings, therefore we will provide an online
presentation and questionnaire in order to reach all people that
want to participate.

December 4, 2014: Options Development
Executive Team & SC Members
DeJONG-RICHTER meets with the District staff and members of the
Steering Committee. In this meeting, our team presents our analysis
of the community’s feedback in advance of the third Steering
Committee meeting. It is vital for our staff to understand the
Executive Steering Committee’s response to the initial Educational
Framework questionnaire and to incorporate that feedback into
the future meetings that draft the Educational Framework.
Options development integrates all of the data sources to date
including:
a. Facility condition & adequacy analysis
b. Demographic/GIS analysis & enrollment projections
c. Educational program vision
d. Financial data
e. Community input
By breaking down the silos of information and combining them into
one discussion, our team, along with District staff can begin to
compile facility options that best meet the needs of the District.
Options can include:
a. New construction
b. Renovations/modernization
c. Additions
d. Boundary changes
e. Consolidations
f. Program realignment
DeJong-RICHTER understands that all Districts are unique in that the
above options may include some of those listed or may include all
listed. The options developed in this work session will be presented
to the Steering Committee to finalize before presenting at the
second Community Dialogue.

DeJONG-RICHTER
Board update on the output of the first Community Dialogue and
update on the options development
December 16, 2014: SC Meeting #3
SC Members
When the Steering Committee meets for the third time, the
outcome is a set of documents that start to synthesize the work to-
date into the draft Facility Options Packet. It is proposed that this is
an opportunity to collaborate with citizens of the Kingsport City
Schools Steering Committee and review both districts collectively.
The intent is to analyze the districts together to explore opportunities
for working together to best serve the students of the County.
The Facility Options Packet includes our GIS analyses and reports,
results of the community questionnaires, and a list of action items
recommended by DeJONG-RICHTER and approved by the
Executive Steering Committee. With the guidance of the DeJONG-
RICHTER planning team, the Steering Committee pulls from previous
meeting documents, the approved Background Report, Executive
Steering Committee input, and community feedback to organize
the relevant documents and data needed to create the first draft
of the Facility Options Packet.

Proposed Collaborative Meeting with Kingsport City Schools SC
SC Members
In this meeting, DeJONG-RICHTER continues to work with the
Steering Committee to develop the Facility Options Packet. Our
team leads the Steering Committee through a process to assemble
draft options to be presented to the community. These options
address specific building actions and are based on the established
Educational Framework. Our team provides the Committee a draft
questionnaire for their review and edits in advance of our second
Community Dialogue. At this point, the Steering Committee begins
to see the results of their work and how the final deliverable is
organized.
January 27, 2015: Community Dialogue #2
SC & Community Members
In the second Community Dialogue, DeJONG-RICHTER, in
collaboration with the Steering Committee solicits the community’s
input on the draft Facility Options Packet. The community has their
chance to provide valuable feedback concerning the specific
actions suggested in the Facility Options Packet using both paper
and online questionnaires.
We realize that not all members of the community will be able to
attend the community meetings, therefore we will provide an online
presentation and questionnaire in order to reach all people that
want to participate.
February 10, 2015: Internal Work Session—Preferred Options
District Staff & SC Members
Review results from the second Community Dialogue and work with
DeJONG-RICHTER, Steering Committee members and Community
Dialogue data as well as the approved Background Report to
develop the preferred options that will be presented to the
Superintendent.
March 3, 2015: SC #5
SC Members
In our fifth meeting with the Steering Committee, the facility
recommendations receive their final review and edits. DeJONG-
RICHTER takes care to ensure each detail of the Recommendations
Packet is exhaustively reviewed and approved by the Steering
Committee before presenting the committee-approved Facility
Recommendations Packet to the Superintendent, who presents the
findings to the Board of Education. By now the Steering Committee
has become intimately acquainted with the data, rationale and
process that have gone into creating the final preferred
Recommendations Packet. These Committee members now
become highly valued resources for your District as the
recommendations become public, and especially so if the District
decides to take action in response to the report’s findings.
March 4, 2015: Board Work Session
DeJONG-RICHTER
DeJONG-RICHTER will work with the Board of Education in a work
session that is intended to review the preferred options as
developed in the community process. Board members will have an
opportunity to provide input on the preferred options that will then
be developed into facility recommendations.

Demographics
The following information represents block group estimates and projections created from market research and U.S. Census data obtained
from the Environmental Systems Research Institute [ESRI]. ESRI provides a yearly update to their demographic data in increments of five
years. To make updates to their demographic data set, they use American Community Survey [ACS] data that takes a series of monthly
sample surveys but only from areas with populations of 65,000 or more. One year of ACS data is a period estimate as a twelve-month
average, rather than a single point in time.
According to the ESRI estimates, the total population of Sullivan County, Tennessee is projected to increase over the next five years. As
illustrated in the table, the number of children, ages 5-17, is projected to decrease by 888 children.

Live Birth Data
Utilization of live birth data is recommended when projecting future kindergarten enrollments. This data provides a helpful overall trend.
Large bubbles in birth counts, either up or down, can also be planned for or anticipated by the District.
Data is arranged by the residence of the mother. For example, if a mother lives in Sullivan County but delivers her baby in Shelby County, the
birth is counted in Sullivan County. Live birth counts are different from live birth rates. The live birth count is simply the actual number of live
births. A birth rate is the number of births per 1,000 women in a specified population group.
The chart and graph includes the live birth counts for Sullivan County, Tennessee.

Executive Summary
Capacity Study Overview
In June of 2014 each school was walked by DeJONG-RICHTER and rooms that met classroom size minimums [greater than 600 s.f.] were noted
and their use listed. The school floor plans were analyzed and compared to DeJONG-RICHTER’s on-site analysis. Rooms were counted by
type (e.g. regular classroom, art room, music room, etc.) and a total number of teaching stations calculated.
Capacity can be difficult to calculate because there are a variety of programs that have different requirements within each building. For
example, in K-5 and K-8 schools, when students leave their homeroom to attend a specialty class like art or music, their homeroom remains
empty. Therefore, general classrooms (English, math, social studies) carry a student capacity and specialty spaces such as art rooms, music
rooms, or gymnasiums do not.
Capacity was calculated using two separate methodologies. The first being an “as programmed” capacity, and the second being a
recommended capacity. The “as programmed” capacity shows the number of students a facility houses based on the current use of all
teaching stations. The recommended capacity shows the number of students a facility can house based on the design/intended use of all
teaching stations.
Room Utilization Study Overview
In July and August of 2014 DeJONG-RICHTER digitized the floor plans of all middle and high schools. Using the master schedule databases , a
period by period room utilization was given to all assigned teaching spaces, and an “as programmed” capacity was developed for each
middle and high school. Room uses and master schedule data were based on the 2013-14 school year.

“As Programmed” Capacity
The table below outlines the capacities assigned to each room type based on Sullivan County Schools standards for class sizes.
Terms:
Total Teaching Stations = All spaces greater than 600 square feet used for instruction [including Specialty Spaces and SPED (Self-Contained)
spaces; not including portables]
Portables = A modular space greater than 600 square feet (outside of the permanent facility) used for instruction
Specialty Spaces = Pull out spaces such as art or music
SPED (Self-Contained) = Instructional space greater than 600 square feet used for self-contained special education
Net Classrooms = Total Teaching Stations minus Specialty Spaces and Special Ed (Self-Contained) Spaces
Permanent Capacity = Net Classrooms multiplied by capacities assigned for each room type (as listed above); 10 students are added per
SPED (self-contained) classroom
Portable Capacity = Number of Portables multiplied by capacities assigned for each room type (as listed above)
Total “As Programmed” Capacity = Permanent Capacity plus Portable Capacity
Utilization = Enrollment divided by Capacity

Recommended Capacity
The table below outlines the capacities assigned to each room type based on Sullivan County Schools standards for class sizes.
DeJONG-RICHTER worked with Sullivan County Schools to develop a sliding scale used for calculating recommended capacity. This scale
allocates a set number of specialty spaces (roughly 25%), that do not carry capacity, based on the number of total teaching stations. This
methodology provides a uniform capacity standard based on the total number of teaching spaces and is not impacted by classroom
allocations at individual schools.
Terms:
Total Teaching Stations = All spaces greater than 600 square feet designed for instruction [including Specialty Spaces; not including portables]
Portables = A modular space greater than 600 square feet (outside of the permanent facility) designed for instruction
Specialty Spaces = Recommended number of pull out spaces
Net Classrooms = Total Teaching Stations minus Specialty Spaces
Permanent Capacity = Net Classrooms multiplied by 21.66 for elementary schools and 22.8 for K-8 schools (average of class sizes above)
Portable Capacity = Number of Portables multiplied by 21.66 for elementary schools and 22.8 for K-8 schools (average of class sizes above)
Total Recommended Capacity = Permanent Capacity plus Portable Capacity
Utilization = Enrollment divided by Capacity
The table on the following page illustrates the recommended capacity for each elementary and K-8 school.

Educational Adequacy
An educational adequacy inventory was taken in June 2014 as consultants walked through and assessed each school facility. Once
educational specifications are developed by the District, the educational adequacy inventory can be compared to the educational
specifications and an Educational Adequacy Index can be determined.

Conclusion
Analyzing facility condition and utilization by planning area or district-wide provides a high-level perspective on the relationships between
condition, capacity, and enrollment. When developing facility options, individual building data is necessary to help frame future action.
Beyond facility-related data, a Facility Master Plan considers the District’s mission, vision, and goals along with community feedback.
Ultimately, a Facility Master Plan must take into consideration a broad spectrum of needs, desires, and constraints to prioritize action while
successfully engaging the community to help inform and shape the process.
