In November we will need to determine the preferred alternate. February 27, 2025 is the due date for the PSR submission. PDP Submission approval Jeffry gave an overview of the PDP which was provided to all members prior to the meeting for review. A lot of it is assessments of existing conditions. The baseline for MSBA is 58,660 square feet. If we could have everything requested, the square footage would be 76,936. Most of the additional areas are extra special education classrooms (one per grade) and one break out room per grade. The makerspace room, motor room and lunch breakout room are extra spaces and outside of MSBA. The committee discussed the need for all these extra rooms and agreed there is room to decrease the overall square footage. Kara Larcome, the Special Education Director stated it would be helpful to have a language based classroom. 3 flexible spaces would be requested. Jeffry presented the scoring chart and option 3a.2 (all new construction outside of current footprint) scored the highest. A question was raised about moving the gym. The Town Manager suggested it should be moved to the ABECC since that is something they need. Jeffry will look at whether that is feasible and what the estimated cost would be. The estimated costs for the alternatives was shown. Phil explained that approving the PDP is not approving the numbers.
