Q – Restructuring – New Schools?

Capital Plan amendments weighed heavily by public/school comment

BCAS  estimation

Lisa Donlan – Gym Survey – shows that a number of buildings in district 1 do not have the space to uphold state mandate for PE

– CEC1 will be submitting information about the Gym space/utilization

Lisa Donlan – Emergency construction on 63 presently taking place

Previous request submitted for a kitchen – $ from council members through redo granted before emergency construction occurred/began

SCA – separate project

Lisa Donlan – Needs follow up

Lisa Donlan – SPURA – Although construction is going up including housing units at SPURA, how does SCA/DOE determine that there is no need for school? How can SCA be proactive before overcrowding (as in Tribeca) occurs?

Leases are complicated

PS 51 – Bronx

SCA – Protocol is different with leases vs building

Lisa Donlan – PA and alarm systems are faulty – is that an SCA priority?

SCA – collocated schools have PA sharing issues

Some PA Alarm systems are antiquated – difficult to repair – most can be fixed – \

Arnette Scott – Wireless capability – Where does that lie as a priority

SCA – could be good RESO A money – contact elected officials and put in comment forms

Lisa Donlan – $210M for charter schools –

SCA – grants to charter schools with matching contributions

– can go to SUNY chartered schools

– Criteria has to be in good standing

– Charters that have more money work well with SCA

Jennifer Peng – OPM – New school to open in September of 2014

– UNHS – high needs student population – push in and pull out classes – require the space

Jennifer Peng – Collaboration between school leaders – OSP & principals have a space planning meeting
