Summary:
|
|
ACPS contracted with VMDO Architects in March of 2023 to develop a comprehensive study and recommended 20-year master plan for all middle schools to address capacity challenges and evaluate renovation needs for educational adequacy and parity. All recommendations were to be consistent with the vision, mission, values and goals of the Albemarle County Public Schools Strategic Plan.
Specific tasks of the middle school master plan included facility assessments, community engagement, and short-term to long-term recommendations including boundary changes, grade level configurations, additions and renovations, and a potential new facility to manage enrollment growth.
Recommendations were developed as a phased district-wide plan for middle school education over the next 20 years. Projects were estimated in current dollars, prioritized, and cost-estimated over time using an annual escalation rate of 5.25%.
General Recommendations of the Master Plan:
• Phase 1: Addition/Renovation to Community Lab School to increase admissions and mitigate enrollment challenges at other schools.
• Phase 2: Renovate/Improve Walton MS and conduct a redistricting study.
• Phase 3: Build a new middle school when needed to provide current capacity management
and long-term growth projections. This phase could be interchanged with Phase 4 as indicated by enrollment growth.
• Phase 4: Renovate/Improve Burley, Journey, Henley, and Lakeside to equitable
standards. |
