Section 8-3 - Prioritization of Building Remediation

In prioritizing projects for the schedule of remedies and submission to the Legislature for funding, the highest needs shall be addressed first. Buildings shall be ranked from highest need to lowest need as follows:

(a) Capacity Prioritization.

  • (i) Districts with capacity exceeding 100% (high capacity) shall be determined to be in need of immediate attention and shall take precedence before other capacity needs.
  • (ii) Districts with a capacity between 100% and 95% (medium capacity) may be considered for funding only after high capacity school needs have been addressed.
  • (iii) Districts with a capacity between 95% and 90% (low capacity) may be considered for planning funding.

(b) Condition Prioritization.

  • (i) Schools with an FCI score exceeding 0.65 (high condition) shall take precedence before other condition needs and may be forwarded for capital construction funding based on the determination of the most cost effective remedy.
  • (ii) Schools with an FCI score between 0.55 and 0.65 (medium condition) may be forwarded for consideration for planning funds and possible capital construction funding after high condition school needs have been addressed.
  • (iii) Schools with an FCI score below 0.55 (low condition) shall be remedied primarily using routine maintenance or major building and facility repair and replacement (major maintenance) funding.

(c) Educational suitability is addressed through routine maintenance, major maintenance, or capital construction projects funded by the Legislature.

(d) An updated method of calculating suitability has been adopted by the Commission and may be found in the "Educational Suitability Score Report" prepared by the Commission and attached hereto as Appendix C.

(e) The Commission may periodically review and verify needs assessment data and building and facility ratings for condition, capacity and suitability to ensure the assessments provide timely and uniform data in accordance with W.S. 21-15-115(b).

(f) At least biennially, a new prioritized needs index shall be developed by Commission and that needs index shall be the basis upon which legislatively funded remedies shall be determined. Calculation of the relative weights of the three scoring tools for purposes of developing that needs index shall be 50% weighting to facility condition, 35% weighting to facility capacity, and 15% weighting to educational suitability.
