Dedica3on & Teamwork
• The 16 commi9ee members devoted over 320 hours over 10 months in mee4ngs and researching on their own
• We considered many op4ons and have arrived at a unified recommenda3on
• All members of the commi9ee agree that doing nothing is not a viable op4on
Steps of the Process
Part 1—Defining the Challenge Part 2—Genera4ng Ideas Part 3—Craging the Plan Part 4—Presen4ng the Plan

Defining the Challenge
July/August • Grade-‐Level Research Data presented and reviewed Current Data and Prac4ces
• Reviewed District’s History of Grade Configura4ons • Addi4onal Reading Materials provided to commi9ee members at their request • Enrollment history and projec4ons
• Reviewed Communi4es Comprehensive Master Plans • Met with City and Township Officials
Confirming the Challenges
• Age and condi4on of buildings • Community growth trends (City &Township – 1.5% increase model)
• Use of portable classrooms – (projected use) • Lack of program space in grades K-‐8 • Provide classroom space for growing special educa4on popula4on

Overcrowding
• Jr. High Lunch Schedule – with 7:45 a.m. start 4me and 2:35 p.m. dismissal, lunches are served to students beginning at 10:34 and ending at 1:01 p.m.
• Orchestra students were banned from prac4cing in hallways and exit doorways by Perrysburg Fire Department. Now students prac4ce in corners of auditorium
Overcrowding – This Year
• Ft. Meigs converted a custodial storage area to be used as a classroom this year
• Ft. Meigs converted the staff break room to be used as a classroom for special needs students. It is located in the office across from the staff workroom
• Five classrooms now being rented from a local church to house preschool classes
3/20/12
8
Overcrowding
• Many areas designed for other purposes now serve as classrooms, i.e. woodshop area at PJH, department offices now used as classrooms
• Two large portables with 2 classrooms each at PJH
• A portable “pod” with 6 classrooms installed at Woodland Elementary
Overcrowding
• The district is now using 15 temporary classrooms through portables and leasing to accommodate growth
• This trend will con4nue • Balancing enrollment between the elementary buildings results in “irregular” school boundaries
• This trend will con4nue

Goal: Establish Neighborhood Schools
Brainstorming
• Began process with each member sta4ng their preference before the building tours
• None of the op4ons being recommended today were men4oned at this early mee4ng
• Once addi4onal research and data were presented to this commi9ee, preferences changed drama4cally
3/20/12
10
Brainstorming
• Many grade configura4ons and other op4ons were studied, including: ·∙ K-‐4 schools ·∙ 5-‐6 schools ·∙ 6-‐8 schools ·∙ K-‐6 schools ·∙ 5-‐8 schools ·∙ 7-‐8 schools
• Add on to all exis4ng buildings • The 5-‐6 grade configura4on is used by more higher achieving districts than any of the others and that is why it was a driving component in each of the three recommended op4ons
5/6 Grade Configura3on Benefits • Balance class sizes • Enable more focus on needs of each age grouping • Relieve overcrowding K-‐8 • Enhance technology integra4on K-‐8 • Improve collabora4on and communica4on • Enable “loop” op4on—same teacher for 2 years (research indicates this may be an effec4ve model)
• Simplify accelera4on for 5th graders • Make adding 5th grade foreign language possible

Conceptual Sketch: Will it fit?
3/20/12
14
Op3on #1 Benefits
• State Cer4fica4ons (K-‐8, 4-‐9, 7-‐12)— can hire grade 4-‐9 teachers for 5/6; flexibility benefit with 7-‐12 all on one campus
• Drop off 7-‐12 at same loca4on—lower costs • Alleviates vehicle & hallway conges4on at PJH • Accelera4on easier for 7th-‐ 8th graders • Benefits all grade levels in terms of tes4ng • Every student coming through would get the opportunity to experience a new building
Con4nued…
Op3on #1 Benefits—Con3nued
• Improved collabora4on between 7-‐12 teachers—new state standards must integrate English Language Arts into Social Studies, Science & Math
• No addi4onal school loca4on/campus in city • Site is 70 acres (Anthony Wayne 87.4-‐acre site: HS, JH, MS, opera4ons, athle4c game & prac4ce fields)

3/20/12
15
Op3on #2 • New 5/6 Building, Loca4on TBD (possibly at PJH campus) • Convert PJH to 7/8 • Could possibly locate the 5/6 building at the Jr. High
campus, elimina4ng land cost for this op4on • $33.7M-‐$35.7M
$33M-‐$35M Construc4on + $709,843 est. Land Cost • Land cost based on price per acre of 13015 Eckel
Junc4on Rd.; the closer to Rte. 25, the higher the cost • Price does not include off-‐site development (e.g. u4li4es)
– If site requires this there will be significant addi4onal costs
Op3on #2 Conceptual Sketches: Will it fit?
3/20/12
16
Op3on #2 Benefits
• Every student coming through would get the opportunity to experience a new building
• PJH athle4c facili4es on site for 7-‐8 programs; no addi4ons would be necessary (same for op4ons 2 & 3)
• Would have more school grounds (same for op4ons 2 & 3)
Op3on #3 • New K-‐4 Building, Loca4on TBD in southwest area • Convert 1 Elementary to 5/6 • Convert all current elementary buildings to K-‐4 • $33.7M-‐$41.7M $33M-‐$41M Construc4on + $709,843 Land Cost
• Land cost based on price per acre of 13015 Eckel Junc4on Rd.; the closer to Rte. 25, the higher the cost
• Price does not include off site development – If site requires this there will be significant addi3onal costs
3/20/12
17
Op3on #3 Benefits
• Don’t need to find a central loca4on • Property easier to find and less expensive than Op4on 2
• 10 of the 15 acres could poten4ally be donated
• PJH athle4c facili4es adequate; no addi4ons would be necessary (same for op4ons 2 & 3)
• More school grounds (same for op4ons 2 & 3)
Alterna3ve to Three Op3ons: No New Buildings & Expand All Current Buildings
• Elementary Addi4ons/Remodeling (includes 30 new classrooms)
$16,394,688 • Jr. High Addi4ons/Remodeling
(includes 21 new classrooms) $28,440,219
TOTAL $44,834,907
3/20/12
18
Alterna3ve: No New Buildings & Expand All Current Buildings
• Would address enrollments out to year 2032 at 1.5% growth per year
• Alterna4ve costs more than any of the three op4ons studied by the commi9ee
• Addi4ons at elementary schools accommodate classrooms only—dining areas, etc. may also have to be increased
• Two schools are over 50 years old and past their design life; higher construc4on costs an4cipated
Costs
Op4on 1 $37-‐38 million Op4on 2 $33-‐35.7 million* Op4on 3 $33.7-‐41.7 million* Alterna4ve $44.8 million
*Assumes no off site development costs

There are plenty of ways to do it cheaper and one way to do it right.
Review: Primary Drivers
• Educa4onal benefit, par4cularly from the opportuni4es for synchroniza4on of curricula and teachers for be9er alignment in the future
• Easier access to accelera4on opportuni4es for 7/8th graders into HS curricula
3/20/12
20
Review: Primary Drivers
• Current 6th graders isolated from 7th and 8th graders
• Sixth graders not generally involved in extracurricular
• K-‐6 and 7-‐12 are clear lines of dis4nc4on in teacher training and licensure
Review: Three Op3ons
Op3on #1—New 7/8 Building on PHS Campus & Convert PJH to 5/6
Op4on #2—New 5/6 Building, Loca4on TBD (Possibly at PJH Campus) & Convert PJH to 7/8
Op4on #3—New K-‐4 Building, Loca4on TBD & Convert 1 Elementary to 5/6
