WAVERLY â A late-emerging option to upgrade Waverly-Shell Rockâs elementary schools was approved Thursday by the Board of Education.
The proposal, a hybrid of some of the four options previously presented to the community, would build two new elementaries to replace Waverlyâs three existing ones and renovate Shell Rock Elementary. The plan would also include some limited funding for high school improvements.
It was one of two recommendations presented to the board by Waverly-Shell Rock Community Schoolsâ facilities task force
âWeâre kind of on crunch time now,â board member Dennis Epley, who made the motion to pursue that option, said before the vote.
WAVERLY â A newly developed proposal will be one of two options for upgrading Waverly-Shell Rock elementary schools presented to the Board of Education on Thursday.
The Waverly-Shell Rock Community Schoolsâ facilities task force is recommending its choices during a 6:30 p.m. special meeting in the middle school auditorium.
One of the recommendations â renovating Shell Rock Elementary and building a new school in Waverly to replace its existing three elementaries â was chosen from the four options previously presented to the community. It has an estimated cost of $31.9 million to $36.1 million for all work.
The other recommendation has been developed since those options were presented last month. Along with renovating Shell Rockâs school, it would including building two new Waverly elementaries.
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
