SECTION 4: CAPITAL FACILITIES INVENTORY Under the GMA, cities and counties are required to inventory capital facilities used to serve existing development. The purpose of the following facilities inventory is to establish a baseline for determining what facilities will be required to address existing deficiencies and accommodate future demand (student enrollment) at acceptable or established levels of service. This section provides an inventory of capital facilities owned and operated by the Everett School District including schools, portables, developed school sites, undeveloped land and support facilities. School facility capacity was inventoried based on the space required to accommodate the District's adopted educational program standards (see Section 3). A map showing locations of District school facilities is provided in Figure 1 on page 1-4. Schools Everett School District elementary schools include grades K-5, middle schools grades 6-8, and high schools grades 9-12. OSPI calculates school capacity by dividing gross square footage of a building by a standard square footage per student3. This method is used by the State as a simple and uniform approach for determining school capacity for purposes of allocating available State Match Funds to school districts for school construction. However, this method is not considered an accurate reflection of the capacity required to accommodate the adopted educational program of each individual district. For this CFP, capacity is based on the number of teaching stations within each building and the space requirements of the educational program. The school inventory is summarized in Table 1. Portables Portables are used as interim classroom space to house students until permanent classroom facilities can be provided and to prevent overbuilding. Portables are not a solution for housing students on a permanent basis. The number of portables and their capacities are summarized in Table 2. For this Capital Facilities Plan, costs of portable relocations have not been included in the formula for determining developer mitigation fees Support Facilities In addition to schools, the Everett School District owns and operates additional facilities which provide operational support functions to the schools. An inventory of these facilities is provided in Table 3. Land The Everett School District owns the following additional sites not currently used for school purposes: 18.9 acres at the southeast corner of Seattle Hill Road and State Route 527. 36th & Norton; 3.25 acres, currently used as neighborhood playground. Approximately eight acres adjacent to Jefferson Elementary School. This site is considered too small for a middle or high school site, and sanitary sewer service is currently not available. 3 90 square feet per kindergarten through sixth grade student, 120 square feet per grade seven and grade eight student, 130 square feet per grade nine through grade twelve student, and 150 square feet per disabled student.
