Additionally, the committee was opened to anyone who wanted to participate.

August 2013 Ted Moore, Superintendent Lovejoy Independent School District 259 Country Club Road Allen, Texas 75002 Re: Long Range Facilities Planning Committee Recommendation Dear Mr. Moore, On April 16, 2013, the Lovejoy ISD Board of Trustees authorized the Superintendent to form and convene a Long Range Facilities Planning Committee (LRFPC). The intent of the LRFPC was to convene a cross section of LISD community members to study current facilities, future facility needs and to make a recommendation to the LISD Administration regarding the need for future construction projects by the August 2013 Board of Trustees regular meeting. LISD invited approximately 95 citizens to participate as members of the District s Long Range Facilities Planning Committee representing: Taxpayers with no children Taxpayers who are now empty nesters Taxpayers with preschool children Taxpayers who are community leaders Taxpayers who represent elementary, middle and high school levels Additionally, the committee was opened to anyone who wanted to participate. This committee was charged with the following mission: Identify new construction needs, specifically the number of new classroom seats needed and when those seats should be provided Identify renovations, upgrades, additions and other district-wide capital essentials Members of the committee participated in six work-sessions consisting of more than 10 hours. Furthermore, make-up meetings were provided for committee members who missed a regularly scheduled meeting. The committee members were given information from various resources including LISD staff, Population and Survey Analysts, PBK Architects, and Southwest Securities. District administration maintained an online resource webpage with all the handouts, requested informational resources, and presentations (http://www.lovejoyisd.net/mp.cfm?p=9533). 2013 Long Range Facilities Planning Committee 1

LRFPC Meeting & Make-up Dates Meeting Date Make-up Date Tuesday, May 14, 2013 Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Tuesday, May 28, 2013 Wednesday, May 29, 2013 Monday, June 10, 2013 Wednesday, June 11, 2013 Monday, June 17, 2013 Wednesday, June 18, 2013 Tuesday, July 16, 2013 Wednesday, July 17, 2013 Tuesday, August 6, 2013 Wednesday, August 7, 2013 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS The Long Range Facilities Planning Committee finds it essential that the District begin seeking funding to accommodate projected student growth and other capital improvement needs. In addition, the committee finds it essential for the district to provide continuous updates to existing schools in order to maintain quality facilities for all LISD students. Accordingly, the committee urges the Administration of Lovejoy ISD to recommend to the LISD Board of Trustees to call a bond election. If the election is called for November 2013, construction can begin in the spring of 2014 on the most time sensitive projects. The recommended bond election will present the voters of the district an opportunity to authorize the financial resources crucial to providing the improvements and facilities described herein. ENROLLMENT GROWTH Recognizing that its recommendation would affect every student in the district, the committee reviewed the student population growth patterns for the next ten-years. LISD engaged Population and Survey Analysts to identify expected development patterns in the district and to develop a likely scenario of projected students by grade level through the 2022-2023 school year. The following chart illustrates the high, low, and most-likely growth projections prepared by Population and Survey Analysts. 2013 Long Range Facilities Planning Committee 2

Using the most-likely growth scenario projections, the following charts compare the grade level capacities with projected enrollment at each campus. 2013 Long Range Facilities Planning Committee 3

Based upon the demographic data, the committee participants determined that additional seating capacity would be required at all grade levels. Elementary Schools The committee agreed with the demographic study that shows LISD will need to add capacity at the elementary level. The committee recognized it would be more cost effective both in construction and operational costs to increase the seating capacity at the existing three elementary schools, over adding a new fourth elementary campus. The committee also acknowledged that projected K-4 th grade enrollment will exceed Hart Elementary s capacity by the 2017-2018 school year. Additions to Lovejoy Elementary and Puster Elementary would need to occur around 2023. Intermediate School The committee agreed with the demographic study that shows additional seating capacity will be needed at Sloan Creek Intermediate School by the 2020-2021 school year. The committee recognized it would be more cost effective both in construction and operational costs to keep the 5 th grade at Sloan Creek and increase its seating capacity instead of returning 5 th grade to the K-4 campuses and adding a new fourth elementary. Using the most-likely growth data, the demographer is projecting build-out for 5 th -6 th grades at 971 students. Current capacity at Sloan Creek is 850 students. Middle School The committee agreed with the demographic study that shows LISD will need to add capacity at 7 th -8 th grades by the 2020-2021 school year. Using the most-likely growth data, the demographer is projecting build-out for 7 th -8 th grades at 1,017 students. Current capacity at Willow Springs is 850 students. Lovejoy High School The current capacity of Lovejoy High School is 1,500 students. Using the most-likely growth data, the demographer is projecting build-out at 1,909 students. According to the demographer s data, LISD will need to increase the building s capacity by the 2016-2017 school year. The LRFPC participants were first asked to rate their level of support for a build-out bond package (10+ years). Ninety percent (90%) of the group supported a build-out bond program with 45% strongly supporting and would seek others. The committee was then asked to rate their level of support for the Enrollment Growth needs in the district for projected build-out. All participants (100%) responded they supported the Enrollment Growth facility needs, with 85% strongly supporting. EXISTING FACILITIES & CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS Committee participants were asked to submit any capital improvements they had identified and would recommend for consideration. Additionally, the LISD Administration collected data from district and campus staff. Following is a summary of the capital improvements Master List. 2013 Long Range Facilities Planning Committee 7

The committee relied on the LISD staff and PBK Architects for the cost projections associated with each project. The cost projections were developed by reviewing current architectural trends for the construction of educational facilities and historical costs involved in constructing those facilities within the area. Following is a breakdown by project. 2013 Long Range Facilities Planning Committee 12

Taxable Value Growth Assumptions: $100 Million per Year for the first 5 Years plus $50 Million per Year for the last 5 Years Bond Interest Rate Assumptions: 2014 Series 4.50% 2018 Series 4.50% 2023 Series 5.00% The Financial Advisor also discussed that school districts have up to 10 years to issue bonds approved by the voters. The approved bonds can be issued in one or more installments to match the tax base growth and construction timing. Under current law, the district must prove its ability to pay for the bonds within a 50 maximum debt tax (I&S tax rate) at the time of issuance. Currently, Lovejoy ISD has a debt tax rate of 47.5. 2013 Long Range Facilities Planning Committee 14

(b) 2008/09 through 2011/12 are estimated I&S Fund Balance figures based on the State of Texas fiscal year end of 8/31, although the District's fiscal year end is now 6/30. The district issued the remaining $28 million of bonds from the 2007 authorization in the spring of 2013 to fund the construction of Willow Springs Middle School. With the sale of these bonds, the debt tax rate remained 47.5. If the proposed projects from this report are pursued, the expected debt tax rate impact would not reach higher than 50 under current law. In 2007, the voters authorized $78.5 million in bonds with a projected maximum debt tax of 49.5. However, because property value growth increased greater than the conservative estimates used in the projections, the LISD debt tax did not have to exceed 47.5. The following table illustrates the relationship between property value growth with debt capacity and the projected tax rate. 2013 Long Range Facilities Planning Committee 15

The next table illustrates the projected cost to a homeowner for a 2.5 debt tax increase by home value. 2013 Long Range Facilities Planning Committee 16

CRITERIA FOR PRIORITIZING PROJECTS Committee participants were asked to rank order a set of criteria for prioritizing the identified Master List of projects. The following criteria are presented in rank order as determined by the committee participants: 1. Classroom Seats for Students ensure the district has the seating capacity at all grade levels to support current and projected student growth. For example, adding 500 additional seats at Lovejoy High School to meet projected student growth. 2. Auxiliary Facilities to Directly Support Students as more students enter the district, the district will need to increase services to support these students. This would include areas like transportation, curriculum, and technology. 3. Campus Support Capacity ensure the core facilities of a building will meet the projected student growth requirements. This would include increasing the size of the library, cafeteria, kitchen, and counseling space at LHS to meet student growth. 4. Enhancement of Programs would be for facilities that already exist in LISD with the basic essentials. The program is fully functional today, but would be enhanced if items in this category were added. For example, the LHS orchestra program or blackbox theater. 5. Facilities for Program Development would include facilities that do not currently exist in LISD or are inadequate in their current form. For example, a facility for the swimming program does not currently exist in LISD. This would also include future facilities for Career and Technical Education (CATE) programs, such as Veterinary Medical Applications or Culinary Arts that do not exist today in LISD.

Enrollment Growth Building Maintenance & Updates Program Growth Academics Fine Arts Athletics Safety & Security Updates Buses Technology The largest difference between the two versions is the reduction in future projected building maintenance items such as traffic paint, building finishes, masonry cleaning, building sealants, and some equipment replacements. Additionally, building improvements for Administration, Early Childhood Center, Maintenance and Transportation were removed. Finally, Elementary #4 costs were removed and replaced with costs for enrollment growth additions at existing campuses. However, other items were able to be included such as additional cafeteria space at LHS and program growth requirements for fine arts and athletics.

In addition to the K-4 students at this campus, Hart also supports the district s Preschool Programs for Children with Disabilities (PPCD) and Little Leopards Early Childhood Center. Both of these programs are located in portable classroom buildings on the south side of the campus. Internally, Hart is in need of building updates such as new flooring (carpet and vinyl tile), restroom updates and reconfiguration, removal of vinyl wall coverings in corridors and classrooms, energy efficient lighting, HVAC replacements, electrical updates, kitchen equipment updates, art room expansion, science room, reroof building, security updates, and septic system updates. Hart is the only school in the district that is supported by an onsite septic system for wastewater disposal. Today s cost for this project, including FF&E and all required fees, is $6,716,424. Additionally, in order to meet projected enrollment growth, the campus would need to add approximately 100 additional seats by 2018. Today s cost for the classroom addition is $1,800,000 and includes FF&E and all required fees. Lovejoy Elementary Lovejoy Elementary was last updated in 2008. The committee discussed playground updates to the aging wooden playground equipment that was installed in the summer of 2005, security updates, and future replacement of the gym HVAC units. Today s cost for this project, including FF&E and all required fees, is $401,709. Additionally, in order to meet projected enrollment growth, the campus would need to add approximately 100 additional seats in 2023. Today s cost for the classroom addition is $1,400,000 and includes FF&E and all required fees. 2013 Long Range Facilities Planning Committee 19

Puster Elementary Puster Elementary opened in 2008. The committee discussed playground improvements and security updates including fencing around the play field area. Today s cost for this project, including FF&E and all required fees, is $324,500. Additionally, in order to meet projected enrollment growth, the campus would need to add approximately 50 additional seats in 2023. Today s cost for the classroom addition is $1,000,000 and includes FF&E and all required fees. Sloan Creek Sloan Creek opened in 2008. The committee discussed future removal of the portable buildings and security updates. Today s cost for this project, including FF&E and all required fees, is $302,139. Additionally, in order to meet projected enrollment growth, the campus would need to add approximately 150 additional seats in 2021. Today s cost for the classroom addition is $1,700,000 and includes FF&E and all required fees. Willow Springs Willow Springs opened in the fall of 2013. The committee discussed replacement of the synthetic turf, at the end of its useful life, in eight to ten years. Today s cost for this project, including FF&E and all required fees, is $590,000. Additionally, in order to meet projected enrollment growth, the campus would need to add approximately 200 additional seats in 2020. Today s cost for the classroom addition is $2,100,000 and includes FF&E and all required fees. Lovejoy High School Lovejoy High School opened in 2006. The committee discussed replacement of the synthetic turf at the stadium in eight to ten years, flooring updates over the next ten years, relocating the dance/drill team studio (as a multipurpose fine arts space) to the fine arts wing and repurposing the existing space for cafeteria seating, providing adequate locker and dressing rooms space for both girl s and boy s programs, stadium pressbox update, engineering shop space, black box theater and auditorium stage improvements, and art classroom updates.

While growth often creates challenges for a school district, we feel the LISD has fostered creative thinking and promoted a strong academic responsibility among students at all LISD campuses. The LRFPC strongly encourages the LISD to continue with the same dedication to the students of this community that they have so willingly and successfully served in the years past.
