Strategic Plan for Implementation


The plan for implementation is an effort to organize the district priorities and associated projects along a timeline for completion. Below is an outline that begins to focus on this strategy and is broken down by four categories.

      • CATEGORY 1: Current work - This category includes current work identified as being completed over the next year. In this case 2022.
      • CATEGORY 2: 1 to 5-year plan - This category includes work that will be completed over the next five years, 2023 through 2027.
      • CATEGORY 3: 6 to 10-year plan - This category includes work that will be completed in the next 10 years, 2028 through 2032.
      • CATEGORY 4: 11+ year planThis category includes work planned for 11 years out beginning in 2033 and beyond

The current work category outlined below includes activities that are defined and established by the District that have target completion years indicated for established projects. The other timeline categories do not include years indicated as it is yet unknown how this process will be implemented and executed. It is anticipated that many of the projects will be planned within the next five years. The execution of design and construction of these projects is dependent upon many factors that are not known at this time. This is in an effort to outline these priorities and projects based on a timeline to allow planning activities to occur.

Maintenance and safety are an ongoing effort by the District to keep facilities operational and safe for students. The planning team recognized the importance of this and placed it as priority one for the District. It became clear that by placing it as priority one, repair and maintenance projects can be identified, planned for, and funding identified. The District is already using this strategic plan to identify maintenance projects for completion using district funds and funding through potential grants. These maintenance and safety projects are identified for all facilities across the District.

 

Pie Chart 2



The facility condition matrix that was created as part of the research and investigation phase of the master plan process will continue to be a tool for the District to prioritize maintenance and safety deficiencies at all facilities. By using prioritized information, the District can plan projects based on capital renewal funding available or create strategies to pursue other funding options.

In reviewing the current Early Childhood Center facilities, government regulations and local demand for services, it became very clear to the Planning Advisory Team that expanding the ECC program and associated facilities should be a priority for the District. The following considerations guide the decision to make Early Childhood Center a high priority.

ECC needs diagram final

Government Mandates

Federal mandates required that the ECC programs offer full-day, full school year to 46 Head Start eligible children in 2021. Head Start law requires that ECC will need to offer full-day, full school year preschool program to all 102 allocated Head Start opportunities. No compliance date has been determined, however, the law still exists and will require compliance.

The new State Department of Early Childhood is currently developing the guidelines for the universal preschool program. Implementation of the universal preschool program will begin in 2023. While the details of this program are not fully defined, the effects will result in an increased preschool student population.


Local Demand

Montrose County is currently considered a “childcare desert.” The demand for preschool and early childhood care will require additional facilities to meet the needs of the Montrose County community. The State Demographer is expecting significant growth in the early childhood population. Additional, or larger facilities, would be necessary to bridge the gap for students and families needing and wanting services. Please refer to the link below for the Montrose Childcare Needs Assessment.

Montrose Childcare Needs Assessment


Improved Student Performance

Many studies show early childhood education provides a solid foundation for learning and is a measurable benefit for student achievement. The District desires to expand preschool programming that is more diverse and equitable. To adequately meet this commitment for our community, a larger facility would be necessary to serve an increased number of children.


Facility Considerations

The ECC program is currently operating in modular classrooms buildings at three campuses. The main campus is located near the District Administration offices and consists of fifteen modular buildings. Two modular classroom buildings are being used for this program at the Olathe Elementary School campus. One modular building is being used at Johnson Elementary School to offer preschool programming. Most of these District modular buildings are outdated and expensive for the District to operate and maintain. Safety and security are other valid concerns with students moving from building to building.

A new, larger capacity facility would be necessary to accommodate the anticipated enrollment growth and to allow the District to move out of the modular classroom buildings at the main campus and Johnson Elementary campus. The facility in Olathe will continue to be used with planned facilities upgrades.
The modular buildings at the Olathe Campus are newer and in good condition. Planned improvements will provide for program expansion and continued development.

The Planning Advisory Team studied multiple options for the new ECC facility. It was agreed that both of the District owned sites, at Johnson Elementary School and Brown Ranch, should continue to be studied. Test fits for both sites are included as part of this master plan.

   
         
    Identified Projects:    
   
 
  1. New ECC Facility 
    Construct a new Early childhood Center Facility on the District owned Brown Ranch site or the vacant District owned property at Johnson Elementary. The new facility will accommodate students from the Montrose and surrounding community. The facility will be approximately 55,000 sq. ft. and have a preschool student capacity of approximately 360 preschool students.

          Through the planning process, the age and condition of the Montrose High School was a major topic of discussion for both the Planning Advisory Team and Executive Committee. The ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the existing building is becoming a burden for the district. The facility assessments showed that the need for repair at the high school makes up about 33% of the total identified repair need across the District. With review of ongoing yearly repair costs and the ultimate cost for replacement of the existing high school, the Executive Committee agreed that planning for the future replacement of the Montrose High School should be a high priority.

      The Planning Advisory Team reviewed several options for the high school including a new high school on a new site and partial building replacement on the current site. The group agreed that there is a community connection to the current site that would be lost with a new school on a new site. High school replacement on the current site also allows the continued use of the existing McMillan Gym, existing baseball field and the existing stadium therefore providing project efficiency and funding savings.
         
               
          Identified Projects:    
         

       

       
      1. Partial Building Replacement at Montrose High School
        Complete a partial building replacement at Montrose High School to create a new state of the art High School Facility. The project will include demolition of the older portion of the existing building and construction of a new building on the existing high school site. The stadium, baseball field, and existing McMillan Gymnasium building would be maintained and continue to serve the district. The site elements including parking and field areas will be rearranged along with the new building design to work with existing site access points and connection to the surrounding community. The project will include the demolition of the current Ag/Auto Shop building. A new AG/Auto Shop building will be constructed to provide state of the art CTE learning spaces with associated equipment.

      Elementary School Capacity


      Through analysis of building capacity, demographic projections and current school boundaries, Cottonwood Elementary will be over capacity by 44 students based on five year projections. Other elementaries within the district will be close to capacity in the five year projection. Johnson Elementary School will be under capacity by only 35 students, Northside Elementary will be under by only 28 students, and Oak Grove Elementary School will be under by only 23 students. Based on this information the Planning Advisory Team reviewed strategies to accommodate this enrollment growth across the District. The selected strategy includes improving the condition of one of the older facilities and at the same time accommodate the anticipated growth across the district. Pomona ES will include a partial building replacement to become larger 4 track elementary school. Its location is central to the district and will allow flexibility for boundary adjustments with the other elementary schools to “balance out” the projected enrollment across the district.

      Based on condition of Northside Elementary School, the group also looked at opportunities to replace or refurbish the existing Northside School. The existing site is small and if replacement is desired, a new larger site will be required to better accommodate the typical elementary school functions including playgrounds, improved student drop off, off street parking and separate bus drop off lane. Replacement or refurbishment of the existing facility will depend on funding available. It is important to the District that the Northside Elementary School remain a neighborhood school located in the northside area of Montrose.

         
               
          Identified Projects:    
         
       
      1. Partial Building Replacement at Pomona Elementary School
        Complete a partial building replacement at Pomona Elementary School to create a new state of the art 4 track elementary school. This project will utilize the existing 2007 portion of the elementary school with the remaining being demolished to allow for a new building addition to be constructed. The building addition will include a new gym, cafeteria, kitchen, classrooms, and special support spaces. This new facility will increase the Pomona Elementary School capacity to approximately 568 students.

          1. Demolition Area: 27,000 sq. ft.
          2. Approximate New Building Area: 42,000 sq. ft.
          3. Approximate Building Renovation Area: 15,000 sq. ft.

      1. Elementary School Attendance Boundary Adjustment
        Adjust elementary school attendance boundaries to alleviate current and future student capacity issues at Oak Grove Elementary and Cottonwood Elementary. An enlarged and centrally located Pomona Elementary School facility allows flexibility to balance current and future enrollment pressures at elementary schools across the district.
         

          1. Complete attendance boundary adjustment study. TBD (Completed by District) 
       
           
         
          Elementary School Facility Condition

      In addition to capacity related needs, Priority 4 also includes focus on facility condition. The Northside Elementary School FCI score and related master planning team facility assessment shows that the facility needs substantial repair and maintenance. The District has a couple of options to improve the conditions at Northside Elementary School. The first option is a substantial renovation project that takes advantage of the existing structural systems and site location. The renovation project would include space reconfiguration and finish updates to allow the facility to become a 21st century learning environment. The location of the school in the Northside neighborhood is important to the school district and the community and is an advantage of this option.

      The second option includes a new facility on a new site within the Northside neighborhood. This requires land purchase but creates a new ground up solution. The existing northside elementary school site is limited in size and with a new site, updated playgrounds, proper parent drop-off, and bus drop off and parking solutions are planned.  
         
               
         
       
      1. Northside Elementary School Building Renovations
        Complete a renovation of the existing Northside Elementary School Facility.
        This renovation will be across the entire building of approximately 39,000 sq. ft.

      Elementary School Modular Classroom Removal

      Priority Four also includes the District’s desire to move program space and students into main campus buildings and remove modular classroom buildings from school. Modulars classroom buildings are expensive for the District to operate and maintain. Security and safety is also a concern with students moving from building to building. Many of these modular classrooms are older and difficult to insure. To remove these modular classroom buildings, space must be created to accommodate the programs that are currently located in modulars. This will require building additions and re-arranging of space within existing buildings. Proposed additions bring benefit to these facilities by creating opportunities to create spaces that fit the specialized programs that are displaced. The following projects look at these opportunities and create test fits showing the improved layouts.  

         
               
           Identified Projects:    
         
       
      1. Building Addition at Cottonwood Elementary School
        Complete a building addition to accommodate programs that are currently housed in modular classroom buildings.

          The Peak Academy Program is very important the District. The Peak Academy programs provides flexible learning for students needing learning opportunities different from the traditional classroom. It benefits the district by providing program flexibility and enrollment shifting to online style learning. While the existing facility is functional, it requires a lot of maintenance and is not large enough for the current program. Recent enrollment increases in the program have required alternate means to accommodate the larger number of students desiring this learning opportunity. For the program to continue to be successful, larger facilities are needed. While a definitive direction is not known at this time, the Planning Advisory Team agreed that the following potential options be identified in the Master Plan.    
               
          Identified Projects:    
               
         
       
        1. New expanded Peak Academy Facility
          • Purchase property to construct a new Peak Academy Facility
          • OR
          • Construct a new Peak Academy Facility on the District owned property near the Johnson Elementary school site.
          • OR
          • Purchase or lease vacant facility in the Montrose community to relocate to. Renovate space to fit Peak Academy curriculum and space requirements.

        1. Remove Modulars Classrooms at Peak Facility
          • Remove Modular Classrooms and vacate existing Peak Academy and clean up the open site area for future District use.
