资本计划
基本建设策划小组
The 资本计划 team is part of the Capital Projects and Planning department. Our team is the lead for capital levy planning, 容量管理, building conditions surveys, 具有里程碑意义的提名, portable placement planning, and developing Educational Specifications for school design.
All our work is done with the overarching lens of Seattle Excellence, the district’s strategic plan. 具体地说, 资本计划 supports the work to provide healthy, 支持, culturally responsive environments for learning.
基建征款策划
Every three years, 正规的棋牌平台排行榜 asks Seattle voters to consider a capital levy. School construction, upgrades, and improvements are funded primarily by these levies. Our team leads the research and planning to determine what is included in these levies. Planning is currently underway for the Building Excellence VI Capital Levy (BEX VI). Community involvement will take place prior to a project list being finalized.
容量管理
Capacity management is the work done to balance the number of students at each school (enrollment) with the space available (capacity).
为了完成这项工作，我们:
- Monitor changes in enrollment, 人口统计资料, and program placement needs, including capital projects that add room for more students.
- Calculate school building capacity.
- Work with other departments when there are changes.
- Recommend possible actions to meet district capacity needs.
学校的能力
School capacity reflects the number of students that will fit into the school based on the number of teaching spaces (for example, 幼儿园的房间, 小学教室, intermediate grade rooms, 特殊教育室, 体育教学空间, 音乐的房间, secondary general classrooms, 艺术的房间, 等.) and the class sizes in the Weighted Staffing Standards (WSS) model.
To calculate school capacity at elementary level, we multiply the number of teaching spaces by type by the class size in the WSS model. At middle school and high school levels, the resulting sum is multiplied by 83 percent to reflect the planning period for each teacher in a six-period instructional day.
Operational capacity includes the capacity in the permanent buildings and in the portables currently on the sites.
增加产能
资本计划 works closely with the 正规的棋牌平台排行榜计划 department to determine school capacity needs. We have two main methods of adding capacity:
- Planning capital-levy funded construction of new schools, 更换学校, 添加, and 现代化 to open previously closed schools
- Construction projects to improve schools and add capacity (参见当前项目)
- Adding or moving portable classrooms
校界改变
Changing school boundaries is one tool used to balance capacity across schools. Some schools may have extra capacity while others have more students than the school is designed to hold.
移动位置
The district may add portable classrooms when a school has more students than can fit in the existing classrooms. Once portables are no longer needed, they can be moved to a different school. Some older portables cannot be moved. Those portables are torn down when they are no longer needed.
草案 portable management plan shows expected placement and removal through the 2025-26 school year
建设条件
The district regularly hires experts to evaluate the condition of school buildings. The 资本计划 team manages this process and reviews results with in-house experts. Building conditions are used to help set priorities for school construction, 现代化, 或者系统升级. 了解更多.
具有里程碑意义的提名
As part of the construction planning process for major modifications or replacement of schools, the district nominates schools for landmark consideration. Any school building that is 25 years old or older is nominated.
Learn about schools that are city landmarks.
Educational Specifications
正规的棋牌平台排行榜 has created Educational Specifications (Ed Specs) to be used in the design of new or renovated schools. These Ed Specs provide directions for each type of school. During the school design process, a School Design Advisory Team (SDAT) is formed to adapt these designs to their specific school community. 了解更多
