Agenda Item Summary: The Long Range Educational Facilities Plan (LREFP) Work Group recently made final recommendations to address high school and pre-K capacity through its completion of the second phase of the LREFP. The LREFP Work Group began meeting in January 2017 and finalized its recommendations to address pre-K and high school capacity needs in February 2018. The Work Group’s recommendations were divided into
4 categories:

1. Required Planning: Includes assessments that should be conducted

2. Short Term: Details capacity/educational adequacy solutions that should be pursued in the 0-5 year time frame

3. Intermediate: Details capacity/educational adequacy solutions that should be pursued in the 6-10 year time frame

4. Long-Term: Details capacity/educational adequacy solutions that should be pursued in the 11-30 year time frame

The final addendums and results of a city-wide survey about the LREFP recommendations are included in the attachments.
Background: The LREFP reviews current capacity, projected growth and the effectiveness of current facilities in meeting the need throughout ACPS. The first phase of the LREFP, which determined needs and potential solutions for the elementary and middle school levels, was finalized in the summer of 2015 and adopted and endorsed by the School Board and City Council, respectively. ACPS and the City of Alexandria intend to go through a similar process with the School Board and City Council this spring to adopt the second phase of the LREFP beginning with this presentation to the School Board.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the presentation and attachments.
