Introduction: The McDowell County Board of Education requests approval of an amendment to their current 2020-2030 Comprehensive Educational Facilities Plan (CEFP). Changes: The McDowell County Board of Education requests approval to change how Sandy River Middle School is classified in the 2020-2030 CEFP. In the current version, Sandy River is slated for closure by 2026, with the students being moved into River View HS as a consolidated 6-12 school. This amendment is to reclassify Sandy River Middle as a relocation, with the school being moved and operated distinctly as a 6-8 school at the existing River View High School facility. River View High School will continue to serve grades 9-12 and these two schools would operate with autonomous administrations. This amendment also moves the date of this action to the conclusion of the 2020-2021 school year. Once Sandy River Middle School is relocated to River View High School campus, the remaining building will first be offered for auction and if there is no successful purchaser, McDowell County Schools may donate the building to a community based nonprofit organization. If the building is not auctioned or donated to a 501-c3 organization, then the building will be slated for demolition.

Impact: This change will allow the middle school students to have access to courses that are not

currently available, access to mentoring and extensive counseling and limited transitioning from middle

school to high school because of no campus change. The students would also have access to improved

athletic facilities. The budget would be positively impacted by a yearly cost savings of $424,474.54.

Those savings arebroken down as follows: Utilities $133,777.36, Personnel $98,790.00, Maintenance $131,249.03, andTransportation $60,658.15.

3. Describe how the existing facility plan does not and the proposed amendment does meet thefollowing goals of the SBA as described in WV Code §18-9D-16:

a. Student health and safety including, but not limited to, critical health and safety needsRiver View High School has a Tug River Health Clinic on site that provides services to RHVS students.Sandy River Middle School will have daily access to the clinic when it is relocated to the RHVS campus.Transfer buses will no longer be needed, making transportation time shorter and safer. The SandyRiver Middle School campus has a water treatment plant that is need of costly upgrades to continueproviding safe drinking water to students. Relocating them to the RVHS campus reduces the need foron-going boil water advisories.

b. Economies of Scale, including compatibility with similar schools that have achieved the mosteconomical organization, facility use, and pupil-teacher ratiosMoving the Sandy River Middle School campus into the River View High School campus will improveeconomies of scale and building program capacity. Teacher pupil-ratios will not change; however,both River View High School and Sandy River Middle School will benefit from being able to shareresources and arts certified staff.

c. Reasonable Travel Time and practical means of addressing other demographic considerationsTravel time will be reduced for many of the Sandy River Middle School Students living near theBradshaw area. Travel time will remain the same for others due to not having to unload/load transferbuses at the middle school campus. The travel time will also be reduced for the River View HighSchool students riding transfer buses.

d. Multi-County and regional planning to achieve the most effective and efficient instructionaldelivery systemGiven the location of the two schools, multi-county and regional planning cannot be considered.

e. Curriculum improvements and diversification, including the use of instructional technology,distance learning and access to advanced courses in science, mathematics, language arts, and socialstudiesSandy River Middle School students will have access to courses that are not currently available.Opportunities will exist for early enrollment into our RVHS CTE programs.

f. Innovations in Education

McDowell County Schools CEFP 2020100.021 Application for AmendmentHaving Sandy River Middle School on the high school campuses increases opportunities for innovationthrough an increase in the availability of funds by operating buildings at a desirable program capacity.These funds may be used to create STEAM labs and other innovations such as virtual reality and cloudcomputing.

g. Adequate Space for projected student enrollmentsThe RVHS campus and SRMS campus have low program utilization. River View High School’s programutilization is currently 39% resulting in ample space for the relocation of SRMS into one section of theRVHS campus, thus improving program capacity. The following table breaks down River View HighSchool’s program utilization:

Sandy River Middle School’s current enrollment is 261 students and their five year projectedenrollment is 225. Combined enrollment based on current enrollment numbers will be 676 students.The 5th year projected combined enrollment will 716. Using the projected enrollment numbers of716, the program capacity will be 67% with both schools on the RVHS campus.

h. The history of efforts taken by the LEA to propose or adopt local school bond issues or speciallevies to the extent constitutionally permissible

McDowell County Schools CEFP 2020100.021 Application for AmendmentMcDowell County voters have approved the continuation of our excess levy since 1942. Up until thespring of 2019, the county had met and often exceeded its levy call. With the continued decline inthe coal mining industry, for the first time, 2020 tax revenues were unable to sustain the levy call,leaving a gap in the educational needs of the county. With our current economy, tax revenuescontinue to decline in the current year, leaving no hope that our economy can sustain the currentlevy or any type of bond.

i. Regularly scheduled preventive maintenancePreventative maintenance efforts will be improved through the elimination of the SRMS campus.

j. How the project will assure the prudent and resourceful expenditure of state funds andachieve the purposes of this article for constructing, expanding, renovating or otherwise improving andmaintaining school facilities for a thorough and efficient educationImproving and maintaining one facility will be cost efficient and provide additional resources to SRMSstudents.

McDowell County Schools CEFP 2020100.016.1 Translating Educational Needs OverviewMcDowell County Schools100.016.1 Translating Educational Needs OverviewExecutive SummaryExecutive SummaryThe McDowell County Comprehensive Educational Facilities Plan (CEFP) is intended to serve the countyschool system in making decisions related to school facilities over the next ten-year period, and whenimplemented will result in this county having the best possible public school facilities within theparameters of available financial resources.The architectural division of The Thrasher Group, Inc. engaged to facilitate the development of theComprehensive Educational Facilities Plan for the years 2020-2030 consistent with the requirements ofWest Virginia Department of Education and the West Virginia School Building Authority.The CEFP was developed using the following sources: Collection of demographic information, historicand projected enrollments, school facility evaluations and other pertinent data. The problem consistent, inmost if not all counties, is not having enough money for all the school building needs to meet twenty-firstcentury educational standards and the educational needs of all students as well as providing a healthy,safe learning environment for students and staff.Many issues related to school facilities are extremely sensitive, and there are many points of view to beconsidered in developing the plan. Therefore, McDowell County CEFP Committee was established andprovided an opportunity for a diverse group of individuals to contribute their ideas and opinions to theplan. The intention was to develop CEFP Goals & Objectives, understand educational and physicalrequirements, program needs and requirements and to develop a strategic plan.Members of the CEFP Committee, 25 individuals, worked as a whole and in subcommittees during theplanning period to develop the content of the plan. The Committee also kept the McDowell CountyBoard of Education up-to-date with 0n their progress. This committee’s efforts produced group consensusand resulted in a plan that was found to be acceptable to the Grant County Board of Education.The data collected for this CEFP is provided in the Phase I section entitled Community Analysis, Goalsand Objectives, Education Plan, Evaluation of the 2010 – 2020 CEFP and Facilities Assessments.Consideration must be given to this data in translating educational needs into facility needs for McDowellCounty Schools over the ten-year period 2020 to 2030.The Community Analysis revealed McDowell County as primarily a rural county. The county’s economyis driven by mining, timber and recreation. Since 2005 the potential for commercial / industrial growth,has declined with the decline in the coal industry. McDowell County’s population, as in many WestVirginia counties, is declining. According to the 2010 Census, McDowell County’s population was22,113. The 2018 population had declined by 3,890. Reference the Community Analysis section fordetails.The Goals and Objectives revealed that the total school enrollment for the ten-year period will decrease.The West Virginia University’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research Office has provided county-wide school enrollment projections that also indicates a downward trend. This section identifies currentand future curriculum, facility, and over all educational needs for staff and students. Reference the Goalsand Objectives section for details.

McDowell County Schools CEFP 2020100.016.1 Translating Educational Needs OverviewThe Education Plan developed for McDowell County assures the delivery of high quality of programs andstate of the art technology to McDowell County students for this ten-year CEFP cycle.

With School BuildingAuthority and Army Corp of Engineers funding in 2002 five new schools were constructed in the county.Through the efforts of the county’s maintenance department and the school’s custodial staff all the schoolsare well maintained. Upgrades and renovations to all schools will be needed over the next ten-year CEFPcycle totaling an estimated. An estimated $47,561,215.00 will be needed for exterior / interior maintenanceand upgrades. Building renovations and additions, as determined by the CEFP committee, are not includedin this estimate.The Evaluation of the 2010 – 2020 CEFP revealed that McDowell County continues to have considerablefacility needs. McDowell County will endeavor to address these needs for their students to have theopportunity to attend schools in facilities that are conducive to learning and the delivery of educationbased upon the best practices supported by research.
