Option 1: âRight Sizeâ
Estimated cost: $24.5 million-$29.5 million
This first option would renovate all four existing elementary schools â Shell Rock, Margareta Carey, West Cedar and Southeast â while making additions onto the three in Waverly. It would also eliminate the portable classrooms currently being used for fourth-grade students.
Some of the advantages listed were that the option would keep the status quo on community presence, and it could address safety and security concerns. However, the disadvantages include no gain in operational efficiency, no space to address site concerns, and it doesnât address long-term growth.
Option 2: âA New Standardâ
Estimated cost: $38.2 million-$43 million
