Restructuring of Keene
Elementary Schools
1, 3 & 4 School Model Options
April 9, 2013
Where We Are Now
 Over the winter, the Board of Education decided to
move toward a 4-school, wide grade span model, with
Daniels housing the Preschool program
 Following this, we received a Board request to provide
a more detailed evaluation of several variations of 1, 3
and 4-school models
 Today, we will be answering those questions

Option 1A – Pros & Cons
 Significant operating cost savings, but a large capital
investment is required
 New, state-of-the-art space for all students
 High performance building heated from wood chip plant,
with low long-term maintenance costs
 Neighborhood schools replaced by one large school
 Maple Street site maxed out with 2,200 students on site,
creates traffic and access issues, congestion
 Another site needed for possible long-term expansion

Option 3A – Pros & Cons
 Significant staff operating cost savings, but a large
capital investment is required
 Avoid CIP, maintenance and utility costs by closing two
schools
 Offers long-term expansion potential
 Neighborhood school model diminished
 More pressure placed on larger school cores
4/13/2015
KES restructuring – Marinace Architects
19
Option 3B
 Same as Option 3A except Preschool is
eliminated from Daniels School
 Since Preschool is not accounted for elsewhere in
this option, the difference in cost between Option
3A and Option 3B can be seen as a breakout cost
for the preschool program

Cost Analysis
 Analysis of staffing requirements for each option.
Increases in staffing efficiencies are the most
important factor in overall savings
 CIP Tabulation for each option
 Budget for each option broken down by Additions,
Renovation, CIP and Operational costs

included in the project budgets
 2. (Shown in blue) Long-term CIP items that will
need to be done in the next 10-20 years to maintain
the buildings, not included in the project budgets
 3. (Shown in black) Items the school district will
complete outside of the building program not
