Agenda Item Cover

The District is recommending to remodel portions of Knights, McDonald, Bellamy and Dover Elementary Schools and Steinbrenner High School under the Educational Plant Survey Districtwide Recommendations to correct deficiencies relating to safety to life and health. Open student activity areas would be remodeled to enclose walls and install locking doors, remove accordion doorways and replace with full-framed locking doors, re-purpose teacher planning areas into usable classrooms and resource rooms, and rework open circulation areas into usable teacher planning rooms. For clarity purposes within the district, Middle School "WW" will be changed to Middle School "UU".

Florida Statute 1013.31 requires that each School Board conduct an educational plant survey at least every five years. The Board approved the District's current survey on May 7, 2019. The survey recommends new facilities as well as additions, remodeling, dispositions, and renovations at existing sites. As exceptions to the survey recommendations arise, the Board is required to submit a "spot survey" to the Department of Education for each facility.
