| Fern
Ridge High School

Current
building is in deteriorated condition |
Renovate
[$4.5M+ to renovate,
versus $7M+ for new building] |
- Upgrade
is less costly than replacing the building
- Can be completed
in less time
- Minimal
impact to students
- No impact
to other district buildings
- Keeps stand-alone
location and identity
|
- Not as cost-effective
as rebuilding; the $4.5M is for initial renovation with at least
one phase to follow
- Illogical
to spend large sum on building that can never fully be repaired
|
| Relocate
to other district space
[Sell current
site to help offset cost] |
- Utilizes "extra"
space rather than constructing additional space
- Lower cost
than to renovate or build
|
- Loss of
prime real estate
- Cost of
renovation to free up necessary space and adapt it to the new
use
- School may
lose identity if not in a stand-alone facility
|
| Current
building is in deteriorated condition |
…relocate
to the ISC building |
- Could leave
early childhood center at the ISC building
|
- May require
moving adult ESL; could adversely affect their Parkway children
- Requires
moving administrative offices
- Puts Fern
Ridge farther north rather than more central
|
| …relocate
to a closed elementary school |
- Retains
the building for possible future re-use as an elementary school
- Could also
house district offices
|
- Might require
a complete internal rebuild for use as a high school
|
| Buy
or lease an existing building
[Sell current
site to help offset cost] |
- Could choose
more centralized location
- Could also
house district offices
- Possibly
provide location for other district needs such as transportation
|
- Loss of
prime real estate
- Cost of
new space, and suitability for required needs (cafeteria, gym,
etc.)
- Suitable
property may not be available near the center of the district
- Loss of
identity if Fern Ridge High is not in a stand-alone facility
|
| New
building – Replace on site
[Build on 20-acre
site for $7M+ and then demolish current building] |
- Build-to-suit
makes better financial sense than renovation, per Engineer
- New building
would be designed for the school’s exact needs
- Could design
to also house offices for administration or district services
- No disruption
during build & move
|
- Not centrally
located
- Higher initial
cost than renovation or relocation
- Requires
new capital
|
| New
building – Build elsewhere
[Sell current
site to help offset cost] |
- Could choose
a centrally located site
- Possibly
avoid site purchase by using acreage at the South Middle property
- Build-to-suit
makes better financial sense than renovation
- New building
designed for exact needs
- Also house
district offices or services
|
- Loss of
prime real estate
- Suitable
property may not be available near center of District
- Higher initial
cost than renovation or relocation
- Requires
new capital

Options |
Pros |
Cons |
| ISC
(Instructional Services Center) |
Determine
the best use of the building |
No
change |
- Center is
housing functions that might otherwise require costly new space
- Keeps Adult
ESL in North area where most participants work and live
- Preschool
remains in area it serves
|
- It was designed
as a school; using it for offices and other purposes is inefficient
- Need continual
adjustments to balance needs of adults and preschoolers
- Providing
Adult ESL is not required and prevents using space for other needs

| Add
Fern Ridge to the building |

Pros |
Cons |
| Early
Childhood Education (ECE) |
Determine
if some locations should change |
No
change |
- ECE is successful
at current sites
- Familiarity
of locations in community
- Program
is part of the curriculum in some locations
|
- Some ECE
programs take space needed for classrooms at South High
- Equity issue:
WHS and NHS students must travel to ECE sites for classes
|
| Move
from South High
[Locate nearby;
Wren Hollow, possibly.] |
- South is
overcrowded, needs the space
- ECE would
work equally well at a school with room to accommodate it
- Could put
pre-schoolers in a children-only environment
|
- Provides
little increase in space
- Child development
course students & teacher at SHS must travel to another site;
added cost, less teaching time
- Cost of
retrofit in receiving school to accommodate the program
|
| Move
from ISC
[Locate nearby.
NHS is one possibility.]
[CCO]
|
- Space becomes
available for other programs (e.g., Fern Ridge) or offices
- Move to
NHS would end student-teacher travel, increase teaching time
- Move to
elementary would put pre-schoolers in children-only environment
|
- Facilities
are already modified for the program at considerable cost.
- $183,000
grant will be lost if moved
- Move to
elementary would increase travel for NHS Child Development students;
more cost, less teaching time
- Traffic
issue at NHS as hours coincide
