Introduction

FMP Overview:

In October of 2011, the RPS 205 Board of Education commissioned a detailed physical assessment of its educational facilities. The objective of the evaluation is to provide the community stakeholders a thorough understanding of the current building conditions of all of the district’s educational facilities.

This study provides a "snapshot" in time of the condition of 46 educational facilities; which consist of 4 high schools, 7 middle schools, 31 elementary schools, 3 early childhood centers and 1 adult education building. Buildings range in age from 1907-1999.

FMP Process:

The Facilities Master Plan Steering Committee was formed as an advisory group to guide the process. The Committee provides recommendations to rebuild and renovate district’s facilities into 21st century learning environments while addressing the deteriorated and obsolete physical condition issues. The Committee consists of representatives from the community including parents, teachers and administrative staff.

The Committee met eight times during the past months. Members reviewed school district facilities data and toured the facilities to hear from the building staff and experience the spaces firsthand. In addition, the committee collected feedback and gathered data from the public, students, parents and district employees through surveys and community input meetings, to help guide the recommendations. 10,031 surveys were collected and 12 community meetings were hosted.

The Plan:

This plan is intended to be used as a tool for potential expenditures related to maintenance of, and improvements to, the existing facilities over the next ten years; along with building of several new facilities. Priority of projects was established based on issues associated with building condition, educational adequacy, accessibility and energy efficiency amongst other issues.

The District Overview:

Rockford Public School District 205 encompasses approximately 165 square miles in Winnebago and Boone counties. It is the third largest school district in Illinois and the largest employer in the Rockford region. The school district serves over 28,000 pre-K to grade 12 students. The District’s buildings and grounds are community assets where community groups annually use RPS facilities for meetings, events and recreation.

Significant student growth is occurring in the Northeast area. As this area does not have schools, students must be transported long distances to schools. It is recommended that a new elementary school be built with future middle and high schools in mind.

Facility Assessment… Section 2

Facility Assessment - Summary

A detailed study of the district’s educational facilities concludes that most of the district’s students attend class in aging and inadequate school buildings that were built to address the educational needs of the past century. Rockford Public Schools buildings’ are, on average, 57 years old; 69% of the school facilities are over 50 years of age. However, educational centers have undergone tremendous changes since the early 1960’s, which is when most of the district’s schools were built; which also means that the facilities’ needs identified in this plan have existed for some time. The educational facilities share a number of common problems involving moisture penetrations, inadequate electrical systems, and functional obsolesce due to the age of the facilities. Most schools do not have sufficient capacity to handle the electrical and wiring needs of new technology. Heating systems in many buildings are problematic and unreliable, resulting in classrooms being too hot or too cold; more then half of district’s facilities lack air conditioning. Certain programs and offices throughout the district rely on window units for air conditioning. A couple of the older schools domestic hot water system is handled from the large steam boilers that are also used to heat the facility. As a result, the boilers are turned on in mid-August and turned off around mid-June so that the kitchen staff can have hot water to operate the kitchens for student meals. Also, most of the older schools do not have any mechanical ventilation; with the exception of some unit ventilators, ventilation is handled by operable window. Most windows do not have screens allowing bugs and birds to come into the building. Glazing/windows are inefficient and outdated. The single pane windows in many schools have turned opaque with age; many don’t function properly, while others along with many skylights have been boarded up overtime. “The percentage of the operating budget for the maintenance and management of the facilities has steadily decreased, creating a capital renewal crisis as a result of years of deferred maintenance at all levels of education.” (Lackney & Picus, 2008) District maintenance personnel are preoccupied responding to trouble calls instead of designing and implementing long range preventative maintenance programs. Meanwhile, dilapidated systems cost more each year to patch or replace piecemeal in response to emergency breakdowns. These systems also cost more to operate, pulling more and more operating funds away from direct classroom expenditures and toward facilities. The older the facilities get, the more significant this drain will become. (Baltimore City Public Schools, 2012)

Facility Assessment - Summary

Since the majority of students and visitors travel to and from district’s facilities by vehicles, many schools main entrance has been relocated to the back or side of the building (closer to the parking lot) having no identifiable “front door”; contributing to visitor confusion, allowing visitors to enter the building unnoticed, gaining access to any part of the building during school hours. Also many main entrances are not accessible. Bus loading, automobile traffic and pedestrians are regularly in the same area at the same time at many locations, thus creating very dangerous congested conditions for loading and unloading students. Site lighting on the school campus is poor which also contributes to a safety concern. Hardscape areas and exterior signs are deteriorating. The configuration of most schools are not equipped to support 21st century teaching and learning methods. The vast majority of schools lack adequate science classrooms; cafeterias, gymnasiums and libraries are also outdated. The facilities interior finishes, including carpeting and wall materials are generally worn and deteriorated, due to wear and tear over the years. The facilities are not in compliance with ADA due to the absence of appropriate conveying, ramps, door hardware, parking, and fixture in the school facilities. There are many levels and stairs with no elevators. Administrative offices are inadequate in size and not central or/and visibly located. The community spaces (i.e., cafeteria, gym and auditorium) are not easily isolated from the rest of the school to allow for after hours community use while maintaining security of the academic areas. Now that small group break-out spaces are an essential part of school programs. Schools are hard-pressed to find spaces to house many of these programs. Theses spaces are for school resource staff, book rooms, IT closets, conference rooms (large & small), special project rooms and spaces for teacher, student and parent collaboration. Some schools are currently using regular classrooms, closets, corridor spaces, storage rooms, gym stage and the like for these functions. Often these areas are too small and without adequate ventilation or too large and wasteful of space. In addition, due to the new technology and all the resource needed to support the 21st century curriculum, classrooms that were designed for desks and chairs only are becoming more and more cramped. Most elementary schools have all purpose rooms which accommodate gym classes, lunch, and at times they function as an auditorium, which means to clean and set-up the room for the different uses in a day can take away from instruction time and the students. In the past, the district has added many circular/pod type additions to the facilities that are now a big distraction to the teachers and students because of there poor sound quality and sight partitions between classrooms.

Survey Data

Survey Data – Response Counts

(Students)

(Students)

33

 We were driving by the new jail on the way back from a field trip. One of the students said to me that it really is rotten criminals get a better building; if the buildings are not taken care of and updated it will cost more money in the long run.

  If the building students attend shows

that you don't care or is not updated, then why should the students care. Environment does make a difference. If the environment is up-to-date, it will make a difference to students and the employees in the building. It will affect the attitude of people in the building; if updated it will send the message that the students and the staff are worth it. It will make a difference

 We have an older building. It was built

strong and meant to last providing appropriate resources are devoted to m a i n t e n a n c e a n d u p d a t i n g . Unfortunately, this has not been done over the years.

 Obviously age is an issue--very drafty

windows, poor heating--some rooms very hot while other freezing.

 No air conditioning, lockers difficult for some students to get to, cafeteria too crowded, hallways too narrow, too spread out, and way too crowded. Designed by people who believe students walk calmly, quietly, and quickly to their next class stopping on the way at their locker to exchange books, rather than kids bouncing off of each other with 25 lb. backpacks on everyone's back.

 Too cramped! Not near enough storage

space. Office is tiny and poorly laid out. Currently we do not have any true meeting space. OT/PT/Itinerants and other district visitors have nowhere to go to work with students. No spaces available for student pull out for testing etc.

 The classrooms need updating: painting,

new window blinds, locks on windows that don't fall off when you open the windows, new carpeting as tape is holding down carpet in the middle of some rooms, more outlets so less need for extension cords. The outside of the building could use some paint and repair work.

 The lack of meeting space in the building is bad now, but with adding a 7th period next year it is only going to get much worse. Teaming/Staffing meetings are currently held in an office that is about 10 by 10 in space. A recent staffing that I had to attend had no fewer than 10 people crammed into this tight space. The door to the room had to be left open because it was too warm in the office and participants in the meeting had to stand in the doorway and into the small hall because there was not enough seating available for all concerned parties

 The temperature control is extremely

poor. In the winter we have to open windows on the South side. In the summer, the temperature in my room can reach 100 degrees. I have to buy my own fans that are noisy and produce little relief. Opened windows create noise from traffic and the hospital next door. 12 foot ceilings and hardwood floors in addition to the other noise create an atmosphere which is not conducive to student learning. It is miserable.

User Needs & Concerns - Staff

34

 The window blinds in our classrooms are extremely old and many do not work. Many do not stay in place and the cords need to be wrapped around the window hardware to keep the blinds up. I believe the windows are original to the building - making them about 80 years old - needless to say they are very drafty in the winter. No air conditioning and our windows do not have screens – since our building doesn't have air cond. it is absolutely necessary to have windows open during warm weather to create some air movement. As a result we often have to deal with bees and other insects. The tack strip for hanging student work is old and inadequate and several of the hallway bulletin boards are quite old - some large new bulletin boards in key places throughout the building are needed.

 Wood paneling stage had to be converted to office space.

 The visitors enter in the rear far away

from office so people can come in and go anywhere. We need a front parking/entrance.

  It is unfortunate that this school does not have a separate cafeteria and gym. Having students eat in the gym causes scheduling issues and a burden to student traffic flow by the gym in the middle of the day.

 Lack of air circulation, institutional looking (cinder block, light green) walls, student furniture outdated & inefficient, storage space for student materials inadequate.

 Classrooms are too small especially for times when tutors & resource teachers are in. The parking lot does not have enough spaces and is unsafe for buses and children at arrival & dismissal. Furniture is all mismatched and very old; several issues with/heat at beginning of year & no air when it is very hot. Some areas of the school need to be more quiet and private for testing, small groups, and parent meetings; areas where tutors and resource teachers meet. There are no white boards or access to technology. Hallways can be very noisy when small groups are meeting or classroom teachers close their doors. Library can also be too loud when classrooms/people are in and around.

User Needs & Concerns - Staff

  Security of building - students move freely within building during all hours – even after school is out; all exits need to be monitored at all times with alarms attached to alert security when an exit door is opened without an authorized ID.

 The open concept of the building causes classrooms to be exposed to increased levels of noise from nearby classrooms in the pod, as well as from movement in the center pod as classes move from the pod to other areas of the building.

 Traffic jams every day after school in parking lot--parents wait for students & stall line of traffic.

 The furniture is so old and outdated, it's from the 50s. How many holes can you drill into a desk top to re-bolt it together? Apparently infinity!

 Lunch lines too long--students don't have time to eat--need 3 lunches instead of 2 300 students

  The bui ld ing needs more s taff bathrooms.

35

  I think overall our schools look depressing, not upbeat. Finishes are tired looking. We should be sure windows work and can be opened. Signage is unappealing..."no trespassing" signs everywhere are awful. Makes our schools seem unapproachable and unwelcoming.

 Rockford public schools are "tired" and "outdated". Maintenance appears to be substandard (crumbling parking lots, crooked sidewalks, poorly maintained playgrounds, broken windows/tile floors, plumbing, heating/air conditioning, lights out, landscaping, etc.) Nearby school districts appear to be doing a much better job (Harlem, Honnonegah, Belvidere, Winnebago, Byron, etc.)

 Many buildings do look run down, but unless they are physical risk to students and staff, I prefer to spend the money on direct educational items like contact hours and materials

  I think that everything is ok except for the fact that they start off taking things from the schools & students. Make the students our first priority

 Physical conditions are at an all time low. Windows need REPLACING. This would dramatically improve appearance and bring down utility expenses. The decision maker must ask: Would I allow my home to look like this and would I live in the existing buildings without making significant upgrades.

  I believe the poor condition of the Rockford school district facilities is a contributing factor for families leaving the district/city. Honnonegah, Harlem, B e l v i d e r e , W i n n e b a g o, B y r o n , Pecatonica, Boylan, Lutheran, Rockford Christian, Christian Life all appear to continually improve/maintain their facilities.

 The poor conditions is a reflection/ or should I say impacts our children in a negative way.

 Please increase the parking lot sizes and each school must have a separate dinning area and a separate gym.

User Needs & Concerns - Parents/Community

 Definitely needs major updating! Most schools are worn out and tired; definitely not "state of the ar t" learning environments. Concerns would go as far as basic things like cracked chair seats (ouch) and gross moldy carpet that you trip over every time you walk down the hallway. Middle schools are lacking (big time) in the science dept. Labs?! Kind of a joke! Parking lots are horrendous. I have kids in grade school, middle school, and high school; all of them are in need of repair!

 Facilities are old; lockers are not big enough for winter coats and backpacks, halls are narrow and dreary, Feels more like a prison than and inspirational learning environment.

 There are not enough signs with good direction at the schools.

 We are a product of our surroundings. Poor appearance = poor performance. All parents would agree that our children are our most prized possession. Let's show them that with excellent facilities

36

 They need more plants around the school building. I would like to see more plants and flowers planted around the buildings.

  I know the improvements are all about $!!! So many of the schools would look & feel more appealing with fresh paint and a more vibrant appearance. I work in senior care & bright colors and clean minimal decor, areas help them focus & pay attention

 Our schools are very outdated. When compared to districts like Belvidere.

  Schools appear to be cluttered and congested

 Close the worst buildings and continue to consolidate and focus on the quality of schools rather than spreading resources so thin across so many, quality not quantity!

 A litt le more f lowers landscape improvement in the spring, so that the school entrance looks inviting

 Traffic at pick up time. Because the bus issues are terrible, people triple park. They stop on both sides, park, get out of cars and leave them running, etc to pick up kids. Someone will more than likely get hurt there this winter; it’s bad.

 Make the main entrance to the building

as close to the office as possible. –Put common area facilities (gym, library, cafeteria, art, etc) in main areas that is easy to access.

  I feel as long as you keep up on the outside appearance, make it look welcoming to give the kids a positive art look on wanting to go inside and learn.

 Even without the heating/air systems, it seems to run opposite extremes in different rooms. It's hard to dress children accordingly for weather outside if classroom is uncomfortable.

  It would be nice to have an outside

fenced in area where students could study during lunch hour.

User Needs & Concerns - Parents/Community

 Provide good lighting and signage for visitor/parent/students. Update interior color schemes, floor coverings, and window coverings. Update HVAC systems to provide comfortable learning environments. Consider removing the smaller schools and building schools that are more staff efficient and are adaptable for curriculum change.

 Put more lights in the school parking lots

 The buildings need updated heat and air. Many of the windows are not tightly sealed. The temp in schools varies from room to room.

 Remodel the bathrooms because that is

one thing the children use daily   So many of the schools are run down,

the floors are in poor condition, (hallways) gym floors, etc...They look dirty, if we could just freshen them up, It does affect the education and morals of our children.

37

  Instead of building new court houses, jails, and other meaningless buildings more schools need to be built; every school is crowded.

 Bathrooms are filthy. Rooms are way too hot even in the middle of the winter. Only some areas have air conditioning. The top floor is way too hot. There are not enough lockers for the children. We have to share lockers which are a major safety and security issue. We also need hall aides as too many fights are starting in the hall.

 The blinds are as old as the school, and rooms are either too hot or too cold on the top floor. It is very old, and needs major improvement.

 Pool areas and locker rooms, especially female locker rooms; showers are not working properly, and bathroom stalls are atrocious. The library could use an update in paint, and all classrooms’ window blinds are not functioning properly.

 There are no shades in some of the classrooms and it gets very sunny. We need new books. Also, most of the stalls in the bathroom do not lock. We need locker rooms in the gym and uniforms to change in for gym. And let middle school have recess.

 Plant more flowers, trees, and bushes around the school; fix the A/C and circulation system as it is way too hot to learn even in the winter

 Make school look like updated (no orange carpet); should not look like an elementary school. Look like a college; tables instead of desks. Proper size chairs for the size of high schools.

 Repainting the walls, floors, bathrooms, lockers and outside area so it can be more appealing and A/C

 Put screens on windows so flies won’t get in

User Needs & Concerns – Secondary Student

 You should create more free spaces for students to study or relax and talk with friends like student lounges. Also I think that we need better and well maintained bathrooms because the ones that we have are disgusting. Another thing that we need is better space for the drama department. The drama department is always bouncing around from room to room and they always get the crappy rooms.

 A more appealing environment would be one that is easy to learn in. How about that? Additionally, better school lunches with better options can improve the school financially. You can tell what a left over looks like!

 Every school I go to has an open ground area. They don’t secure the area and is the reason the kids have no physical activity time all because they need extra supervision. If they put in a fence it will lower the need of adult supervision and keep up children's physical activity.

38

  I would let us wait inside the school because they make us wait outside in the snow.

 The bathrooms are gross and my room is HOT or cold and the fan in the roof is always blowing on us when we are trying to learn.

 Paint the inside of lockers. Paint the inside of classrooms. Put new floor in the hall. Put in new carpet. Put smart boards where there aren't any; new desks.

 We need a computer lab. We need more computers in our class. We need bright colored paint on the walls. We need air conditioning.

 New paint; more playground stuff.

 Better playground; Science labs.

 Lab so we can know more and try experiments.

 We need a computer lab. We need more computers in class. We need bright colored on the walls. We need air conditioning.

 New windows and new desk and chairs; a smart board; have our own lockers in our class room and when we go swimming have stalls to change in.

  I think the Parking needs to be changed in the areas outside the school. I don't like the way we stand out side in the winter for lining up.

  Improve/add lighting to the outside of the building, especially on nights of programs as it is very dark and hard to see kids walking as cars are moving.

  I want a computer lab, and a better library.

  I would change our computers. I would

like more. I would also like more gym, music, art, and playground things.  Lockers! We need lockers because I feel

our belongings will be safer. I would also change the bathrooms some of the doors are broken.

 Have auditorium for important events

User Needs & Concerns - Elementary Student

 Get better bathroom doors, get lockers; install hooks.

 Longer lunch; longer recess

  Separate gym from lunch.

  I would change the walls and the carpets.

  I would change the playground.

 New playground; more new games in gym.   I would paint the outside of the school

to make it look better. I would also fix our playground a bit.

  I would make the school bigger and we could have a bigger library with more books.

  I think my school could use more science experiments and more activities.

  I would change the walls because they are peeling off; also, the carpet because we always trip on them.

39

 Why do you need to be more modern or appealing? I thought school was about learning. Being more modern doesn't teach us anything. We need to work on the kids before we work on the schools appearance physically and socially. Physically can wait, and once the students are better, [schools] will get better marks.

 As far as facilities are concerned I believe besides heating & cooling the funding needs to go to teachers that teach not put something on board & sit down & text books that come home with homework so that the parents are able to help with home work.

 Have parents help with the beautifying of the schools; invite parents to visit the school more often.

  At schools - Family/Teacher clean-up Saturdays Plant flowers in spring Re-cycle bin for plastics outside.

 Maybe give kids and parent incentives for picking up garbage outside.

  I would like more family functions at my kids’ school.

 Use the grounds as a part of education of personal responsibility (have students help with picking up litter, etc.).

 Auxiliary funds if an option - GALA'S for fundraisers -Specify what project is in need during fundraisers and publicly announce how much received and whether or not goal was met -Website for online donations for tax benefits/write offs if already in place publicize so people are aware don't assume.

  Many buildings do look run down, but unless they are physical risk to students and staff, I prefer to spend the money on direct educational items like contact hours and materials.

 No matter how modern and appealing the grounds are on the outside, there is still bullying and fighting and worse going on in the inside especially in the middle & high schools; and until that gets taken care of no matter how appealing you make the schools; they won't be "appealing" to parents.

  I think having the students involved is important - planting a flower garden, puling weeds - can be educational and teaching responsibility.

Additional Survey Comments

  Just regular and necessary maintenance; keep it clean and neat and functional. That is on my end - my child does not need a state of art and fancy technology buildings to be smart. She needs to have clean, conditioned, building (not too cold, too warm, too smelly).

  I would say by having open class days on certain days when a parent can just walk-in to see how well his/her child is coming along.

 Ask Boy scouts & Girl scouts to volunteer time of Labor Ask for Parent/business donations towards items needed to achieve goals. Ask a landscaper for a free design layout & have kids build it "Landscape Club" Same with Heating / air contractor.

 Garden clubs for kids to make outside look nicer. Ask for community help from churches & such to paint and touch up once a year.

 They should have more fundraising for all school because they or we would have a lot of money to help RPS205.

“Many older schools can't meet Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility requirements without extensive and often expensive renovation. Moreover, their static, inflexible design can preclude the use of advanced teaching processes such as peer-to-peer and group participation. These highly interactive group learning experiences, which have overshadowed the decades-old lecture/listen style of learning, are mandated in the evolved, technologically driven working environment that students are preparing for. The core of this teaching approach requires school designs that have open, flexible floor plans, modular furniture and highly mobile learning tools such as electronic chalkboards, portable computers, expandable networking, and interactive video. Few 42-year-old schools designs can fill these needs. And the difference to a child between receiving an education in a really well-designed, modern new school and a typical 42-year-old school can be like the difference between writing in the sand and surfing the Internet.” (Lyons, 2001)

AUBURN

AUBURN is a well constructed building that has been well maintained, over the years. The building size, configuration and classrooms size are appropriate for the grade levels housed. Several renovation/modernization projects are needed. The cafeteria space is inefficient creating congestion within insufficient serving spaces; causes crowded lunch conditions. The gymnasium is not handicapped accessible; students in wheelchairs have to go outside to get to the gym. The building systems, such as mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems, are substandard and needs to be replace/upgrade to make facility operate more effectively and efficiently. The classrooms have insufficient number of electrical outlets.

EAST

EAST, built in 1939, is in need of several renovation/modernization projects, along with major building systems replacement to make it operate more effectively and efficiently. This is a landmark building and is land-locked which limit improvement opportunities. The cafeteria space is inaccessible and inefficient; creating congestion within insufficient serving spaces causes crowded lunch conditions. The building systems, such as mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems, are obsolete, difficult to maintain, and not well-suited for today’s educational needs. The electrical system does not support the current needs. Classrooms lack the required number of outlets and electrical circuits are at capacity. The original single-pane windows offer little in terms of insulation, resulting in high energy use and thermally uncomfortable space.

The proposed scope of work includes, but is not limited to the following: Interior finish upgrades (paint, carpet, ceiling tile, flooring, etc.). Renovation and improvements including science classrooms, locker rooms, library, auditorium, cafeteria expansion and auxiliary gymnasium addition. Elevator addition to access the cafeteria from the upper floors. A number of infrastructure improvements including plumbing, electrical, and mechanical upgrades and repairs. Exter ior bui ld ing maintenance inc ludes tuckpointing and windows replacement; installation of new window shades, blinds, and coverings. Site improvements include repaving of parking areas, curb and sidewalk / entrance walks replacement; general improvements to the playfields and landscaping for proposed addition and around perimeter.

•  Bus traffic is only allowed to pick up and drop off at the front of the school, restricting the operation of 7 buses at a time, with the rest of the busses stacking down the driveway waiting in a queue.

•  The buses that are stacking down the driveway put out their stop signs to impede any other vehicles (cars, Septran, etc.) from being able to exit the site. This creates a gridlock situation during the time that the front 7 buses are loading and unloading.

•  The stacking buses create an uncomfortable, if not dangerous condition by clogging the inbound lane of the school driveway and blocking any vision to the west side sidewalk. They also constrict the width of the driveway such that it is difficult to have inbound and outbound vehicles pass each other with the busses in stacked position.

•  The driveway adjacent to the front parking stalls promotes a secondary car stacking location that is in conflict with the exiting buses and other traffic that wants to access the parking stalls.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

•  Proposed design would eliminate the driveway constriction caused when busses are parked on the driveway and would improve the flow of the secondary vehicles

LINCOLN

LINCOLN was built in 1927, is a landmark building and is land-locked, which limit improvement solutions. The existing building systems are well past their normal life spans, and need to be replaced in full. The original windows provide little, if any, building insulation; allow cold air and water to infiltrate and heat to escape; makes the school extremely energy inefficient and very costly to operate. The building is well constructed with large windows in the classrooms. However, the main entrance has been relocated to the back of the building and is not accessible. The school is centrally located, but have no room for growth; outdoor green space is insufficient.

The proposed scope of work includes, but is not limited to the following: Interior finish upgrades (paint, carpet, ceiling t i l e , f loor ing , e t c. ) . Renova t ion and improvements including science classrooms, locker rooms, library, auditorium, and a number of infrastructure improvements including plumbing, electrical, and mechanical upgrades and repairs.

“The average school today at 42 years old faces demands that were never intended or even conceived when the building was built. Another problem is that education today is delivered in an entirely new manner, with new tools, techniques, and teaching methods that increasingly don't fit the simplistic conventions of 42-year-old school designs.” (Lyons, 2001)

“The least efficient schools use approximately four times more energy than best performing schools, indicating that a portion of money currently spent on energy could be saved for other uses… Retrofitting a poorly-operating element is always more expensive than designing it properly the first time.” (Smart Energy Design Assistance Center , May 2011)

Explored Options – New Construction

CHERRY VALLEY/ WHITE SWAN Building foot print of explored option for new construction

It is recommended that Cherry Valley and White Swan, sister schools, be consolidated into one new building to increase operational efficiency and to better serve the educational needs of the students attending the Cherry Valley/ White Swan schools. Elementary schools that are very small cost more per student to operate; and cannot address educational requirements adequately and efficiently. Today’s schools are built with at least three classes at each grade level plus enough other classrooms to address needs for special education, are, music, computer instruction, and other required instruction.

“According to a report from the American Association of School Administrators, "Students are more likely to prosper when their environment is conducive to learning. Architecture can be designed to support greater safety and security. Environmentally responsive heating, air conditioning and ventilating systems, for example, either in a new or renovated school, provide a more comfortable learning environment. Such well-designed systems send a powerful message to kids about the importance their community places on education.”” (Lyons, 2001)

Conclusion… Section 3

“The deep decay of our school systems is best represented not by falling plaster and leaking roofs, but by something much more fundamental - the philosophy behind the design of more than 99 percent of our school buildings. If we simply repair broken structures, we will ignore the real problems with American education while giving renewed life to a model of teaching and learning that has been obsolete since the end of the industrial era.” (Prakash Nair , 2009)

Conclusion

The goal for this plan is to give a voice to the facilities and develop a plan to transform the schools into better teachers; these improvements will start improving the health and comfort of children and school employees, as well as conserve resources. Facilities matters – we must be forever mindful that our facilities are teachers too. “The school facility is much more than a passive container of the educational process; it is, rather, an integral component of the conditions of learning.” (Lackney & Picus, 2008) The building and its ground should lift the spirits and raise aspirations. School facilities are unavoidable; with the district being the third largest district in the state and the largest employer in the city. The entire Rockford’s community is affected directly or indirectly by the outdated facilities. The district’s facilities are rich in history, but poor in efficiency. “Rather than being a source of support to the learning environment, the physical condition of too many buildings are an obstacle in the way of students’ achieving their full potential.” (Baltimore City Public Schools, 2012) In order for students to succeed they need not only a curriculum that stimulates their mind, but an edifice that has the possibility to inspire as well and not divert. Buildings today must be more engaging and interesting to capture and keep the attention of today’s “information/digital students”. Just like many school districts across the States, Rockford Public School District has been challenged to reinvent/restructure its organization and the way they educate their students to compete in a global economy. In respond the District has flooded its schools with technology but don’t have the infrastructure to support it. The District has also filled its schools with a great number of resource materials (i.e. books, learning kits, etc.) but the schools don’t have room to house/ storage it; also the District has increase the number of supporting staff in the building, but the schools don’t have adequate workspace for them. These are just a few of the challenges that the schools are faced with.

The current bond market for long-term debt is in the most favorable state than it has been in a long time; interest rates at historical lows, and the competitive market for construction works in the District’s favor.

Conclusion

Again, these issues are not unique to Rockford Public School District; many districts across the states are faced with the same challenges. However, what is unique about Rockford Public School Districts are the people, the decision makers/ stakeholders for the future of Rockford Public Schools. The purpose of this document is to ask the District’s stakeholders to preserve the taxpayers’ investment in school facilities. The District has a sizable investment in an aging inventory of school facilities and the condition vary greatly. Many of the facilities require significant renovations to truly bring them up to the 21st century standard; the result would be an improvement but not a cost effective one. The recommendations in this plan only propose renovations and improvements needed to assure that the existing elementary school facilities continue to adapt and serve the community. It is recommended that the district create a long term elementary schools replacement plan. Many of the elementary buildings have limitations which negatively impact the educational programs. The deferral of major maintenance initiatives, mandated state and federal requirements (including ADA) and the age of the buildings continue to exact a costly toll on the operation of the district. 22 out of 31 elementary schools alone are over 50 years; and 16 of the buildings have two or more additions. One facility has 5 additions and only 15 classrooms. Problems with additions are that building systems are forced to merge and work together when they were not initially designed for the add-on. Such a merge creates tension between the systems; causing one or both of the systems to over work to compensate for one another, which can diminish the life of the system. At this time, it is recommended that resources be used to improve the existing secondary school facilities and enhance the performance art and athletic programs. The secondary schools have the potential to be transformed into vibrant, lively, efficient places of learning. (Greim, 2005) Most, if not all of the buildings are structurally sound and can accommodate new systems. Also, a secondary school requires a large amount of land in a central location, (ideally) to build - land and construction is prohibitively expensive at this time.

Are we committed to World-Class education for

all children; in first-rate facilities or out-dated

facilities?
