Agenda Item Summary: The current approved Patrick Henry budget for ACPS is $42.5 million as detailed in the approved Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This figure was established in FY2014 and allocated $3.5 million for soft costs of design fees, project management fees and furniture costs, and $39 million for hard costs associated with the construction. As the project has evolved in scope and design, there is a need to revise cost estimates. The school division’s CIP has also changed since 2014, resulting in additional capacity projects such as a new West End Elementary School, and centralized Pre-K program co-located at John Adams Elementary School that would repurpose 9 Pre-K classrooms at Patrick Henry Elementary to accommodate more K-8 student enrollment.

In response, staff is requesting School Board approval of a budget transfer in the amount of $5.7 million from the James K. Polk Elementary School capacity project to fund a budget shortfall for the Patrick Henry Pre-K - 8 School project.
Background:
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board approve a transfer of funds from the two James K. Polk capacity projects described above to support fully funding the new Patrick Henry Pre-K-8 school project.
