Facilities Committee Update - July 25, 2017
Upper Darby School District Administration provided the Board of School Directors and the public with an update from the facilities committee. The Facilities Committee discussed the three following base concepts for planning purposes: Total Enrollment of Students in Neighborhood Planning Units (NPUs), Special Education Students in NPUs (inclusion), and Elementary Education Specifications. The base concepts also take into consideration the following assumptions:
All UDSD elementary school buildings will be used unless specified.
- The Senkow building will not be used.
- The Kindergarten building will not be used in its current grade configuration.
- The Kelly building will be utilized as a K-5.
- No modular buildings will be used.
- All kindergarten classes will be at the student’s neighborhood elementary school.
- All kindergarten classes will be half day.
- Space capacity will be configured based on the UDSD Education Specifications.
- No additions at Aronimink for scenarios where Kindergarten Center building used as K-5.
The three base concepts and the aforementioned assumptions led to no less than 30 different potential scenarios for the facilities committee to consider. The Facilities Committee recommended to the Board a more in depth review of the 10 planning scenarios aligned with the Elementary Education Specifications concept. The Board agreed with a more in depth review of the Elementary Specifications concept and would like an update during the August 22 Education and Pupil Services Committee Meeting. The Board requested more communication and sharing of information with the public. Administration stated that the Facilities Committee recommends holding separate public meetings on the information.
