Facility Concept Planning Group Recommends Moving Forward With Referendum Plans
Last evening the Facility Concept Planning Group met in the high school auditorium to further discuss facility planning for the Clintonville Public School District. Representatives from Hoffman Planning, Design, and Construction along with Representatives from PMA Securities, LLC shared updated information related to the base plan and the projected tax mill rate for district residents.
After reviewing feedback from staff and the community survey, the base plan now includes a continued emphasis on renovations to the current middle school; allowing it to become a 4k-5th grade elementary school, complete with age appropriate amenities, classroom aesthetics, and furnishings. After reviewing existing space needs, plans for a middle school wing addition to the high school were adjusted slightly to reduce the scope of the project and keep within budget projections.
As for financing the project, Representatives from PMA Securities and District Superintendent, Dr. David Dyb, provided even more encouraging news. Recently released DPI general aid estimates for the school district could potentially impact the overall school tax mill rate associated with a November referendum even more than previously reported. If these aid estimates remain steady into the fall, the current school tax mill rate could remain level with the addition of a facilities referendum.
Combining current record low bond interest rates with the school district being on schedule to complete all outstanding debt service payments in 2022 has created a very favorable situation for the district to move forward with referendum planning to address the efficiency of district operations, improve safety, capital facilities needs and physical learning environments of the entire district.
After discussing the information presented, the Facility Concept Planning Group then recommended the Board of Education move forward with plans for a referendum not to exceed $37 million. The Clintonville Board of Education next meets on August 10th to take up discussion on referendum planning.

October 21, 2019
Update given on school land purchase: Environmental and water delineation completed by Cedar Corp - All is fine with the environmental report and approximately 37+ of the 62+ acres are available for development. The remaining acreage is wetlands, forest, etc.
Approximately $30 million (taken out over 3 years) would not cause an increase in current mil rate due to high school building debt being able to be retired (paid off) by 2021. District may/will need some additional operational funds beginning next year which could be out of that capacity or an increase. We will contact Baird financial to run what additional impact on taxes operation fund and/or additional construction/renovation referendum capacity would be (i.e. $45 million, $50 million etc.) and share at the next meeting.
Discussion of Meeting Presentation
Layout solves traffic flow problems and safety concerns at each facility.
Cost of each individual addition (Innovation Center, Middle School Addition, Rec Center Addition, etc.)
Playground Space for newly proposed Elementary School / Lack of Green Space
Multi use playing surface on Stadium Field is more cost effective and useful for all students. Additional playing field proposal is not adjacent to school, includes extra maintenance, and does not address many concerns.

In the Spring of 2019, the Clintonville Public School District began a facilities analysis process in partnership with Hoffman Planning, Design, and Construction. Information gathering started with engineers visiting school district facilities, stakeholder input sessions and the formation of a concept planning group to review information and discuss findings with the goal of developing facility concept recommendations by the fall of 2019.
Hoffman met with Facility Concept Planning Group and collectively constructed and discussed what the process of Facility Planning should look like for the Clintonville School District.
All School Staff had the opportunity to meet with Hoffman representatives. The discussions included: What staff liked about current facilities/programs/safety, concerns about current facilities/programs/safety, and general comments and questions.
July 8th - Jennifer Lehrke - Legacy Architecture - Presents a summary of Rexford Longfellow Elementary. She discussed legal requirements (State and National Historic Registry), future development/update procedures, and various ways that facility could be used (including educational).
Representatives from Hoffman (including several Engineers), District Administration, members of the Facility Concept Group, and Board Members toured all campus sites. Hoffman reported that all sites were very well maintained and is aware of future maintenance needs. This report reviews the overall condition of the schools and identifies items already on the district's long term capital improvement plan as well as items that may have been recently recognized. They are representative of maintenance measures that most school districts continue to take steps to address within their current budgetary means.
