  1. Dover High SchoolLocally Funded Initiatives (LFI’s) Community Discussion Wednesday, May 4, 2011

  2. Why Locally Funded Initiatives (LFI’s)?? • OSFC spaces and numbers defined by enrollment to meet minimum requirements • DCS curriculum and programs surpass this • local graduation requirements exceed state minimum • 85% of seniors plan to attend 2 or 4-year college; need above minimum requirements for college prep • DHS has a rich, diverse curriculum that includes fine arts, advanced placement courses, and pre-engineering courses • community expectations are beyond state standards • district staff have compared co-funded plan to current programming and have identified necessary additions to that co-funded plan

  3. ACADEMIC CLASSROOMS

  4. ACADEMIC CLASSROOMS • full inclusion/co-teaching and resource class model for our 104special education students (about 13%of students) • 10 Advanced Placement (AP) courses, where students earn college credit (over 170 tests administered each year) • Project Lead the Way/Pre-engineering courses for college credit (92 students) • appx.300students in visual arts courses (about 37%of students)

  5. MEDIA CENTER SPACES

  6. MEDIA CENTER SPACES • district technology staff works out of current high school and needs space to receive, configure, and repair all district technology • coordination and service of district’s 857computers; 116SmartBoards; 125projectors; 120printers • additional technology serviced includes scanners, document cameras, cameras, wireless access points, response systems, distance learning equipment

  7. MUSIC SPACES

  8. MUSIC SPACES approximately … • 140students in band • 55students in orchestra • 80 students in vocal music • 35 in steel drum band • 285 students in music program … approx. 35% of student population is in a performing music group/class at DHS

  9. PHYSICAL EDUCATION SPACES

  10. PHYSICAL EDUCATION SPACES • proposed gym is same actual size, but seating would be reduced by 250 seats due to new building requirements/handicapped access • weight room and wrestling room requirements just bring new facility to equal size of current space • locker rooms and storage are some of the most common LFI's due to this space being built more for PE classes and less to meet the needs of competition gyms

  11. AUDITORIUM ($280/sq ft/Re-use chairs)

  12. AUDITORIUM • current auditorium is used approximately 60times per year just for school functions – including concerts, elementary programs, student assemblies, and class meetings • this does not include any rehearsals, staff development, or classroom use • this also does not include any community events (i.e. dance recitals, FOP concerts, etc.)

  13. BUILDING SERVICES SPACE(Due to the LFI’s)

  14. BUILDING SERVICES SPACE • costs incurred with the additional space – you would need more hallways, restrooms, etc., if you had more space in the facility

  15. OTHER

  16. OTHER : KEEP EXISTING GYM • there is a minimum student threshold for co-funding of an auxiliary gym – we are just below that … however, • approx. 475students participate in athletics – many more than one sport • appx. 58% of students participate in athletics … comparable figures to a much larger school • multiple practice sites impact academics as students get home earlier for homework and family time

  17. IN SUMMARY … • proposed OSFC site = 150,000 square feet • current DHS = 200,000 square feet • district is showing increasing enrollment projections • LFI’s presented here would “maintain” current programming
