Vision Statement:
See attached document, “Vision Statement Franklin Task Force”.
Discussion Items:
Development of a three (3) – four (4) year logistical plan for the Franklin campus as it
pertains to the growth of the Loomis Basin Charter School:

See attached document “LBCS Future (PH III) Site Plan”.
Areas of Concern:
1. Campus Growth:
 The three year growth plan for the LBCS is as follows:
 2010 – 2011, add two (2) sixth grade classes (50 students).
 2011 – 2012, add two (2) seventh grade classes (50
students).
 2012 – 2013, add two (2) eighth grade classes (50
students).
 As the LBCS grows over the next three (3) years, eventually
becoming roughly the size of Franklin, will Franklin relinquish its
priority in facility scheduling?
2. Cafeteria:
 Currently, LBCS’s students obtain pizza lunch, in the cafeteria, on
Fridays.
 This does not currently conflict with Franklin’s lunch
schedule.
 The increased revenue supports the LUSD’s Food Service
Program.
 Will the cafeteria eventually be utilized to provide lunches for all
of Franklin’s as well as all of LBCS’s students?
 What are the positives of increasing food service revenues, and
what are the potential pitfalls of increasing traffic flow during the
lunch period?
3. Gymnasium:
 There are currently 6.5 hours of after school gym time available
(2:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.).
 Example:
o Franklin 7th grade basketball team = 1.5 hours
o Franklin 8th grade basketball team = 1.5 hours
o LBCS 7th grade basketball team = 1.5 hours
o LBCS 8th grade basketball team = 1.5 hours
o Remaining time = 0.5 hours
 How will the gym be utilized to accommodate LBCS’s 7th and 8th
grade athletic teams (e.g., boys’/girls’ basketball and volleyball)?
In particular, practices and games.
 Will this adversely affect Franklin 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade basketball
teams? Drama and other after school programs?
4. Traffic Lanes, Flow, and Access:
 Will the current starting/ending times be sufficient to reduce traffic
congestion during drop-off and pick-up times?
 Will the current access points on Laird Road meet city and/or
county codes as the campus builds out to an estimated 900 students
by 2013?
5. Safety Drills and Evacuation Plans:
 Will the current safety and evacuation plans be sufficient to meet
the needs of the estimated 900 students who may eventually arrive
on Franklin’s campus by 2013?
