Document Description
In order to allow Andrew Jackson Elementary School to change from operating on a year round schedule to a traditional schedule, the School District proposes to replace 20 single story portable classroom structures existing on-site with 23 permanent classrooms, with accessory/support areas. The construction of permanent classrooms proposed would allow change from a year round to a traditional schedule but would not increase the enrollment capacity of the school. It would, however, result in a greater number of students on-site at one time. The proposed permanent classrooms would be contained in a single, two-story building, approximately 35,031 square feet in size, to be located at the southwest portion of the school site. The area is presently devoted primarily to playfields/recreation. Portable classrooms on-site presently occupy approximately 19,200 square feet of area that would be returned to playfields/recreation uses. The proposed two-story classroom building would occupy a footprint of approximately 17,516 square feet in area, resulting in a net gain of approximately 1684 square feet of playfield/recreation area. No portable classrooms would remain on-site after the proposed project is implemented. The change in the operating schedule and additional recreational area regained would benefit the students of the school district. Additional description of the proposed project and conditions on-site and in the surrounding area is contained in Attachments to this Notice of Exemption.
