Vision and Guiding Principles The California Department of Education envisions school facilities that enhance the achievement of all students and are learner-centered, safe, sustainable, and centers of community.
Vision and Guiding Principles The siting and design of educational facilities will: • Reflect the Local Educational Agency’s boardadopted facilities master plan and educational specifications. • Result from an open, community-based, and comprehensive planning process including all stakeholders and early dialogue with all involved planning agencies.
Vision and Guiding Principles • Accommodate a complete facility supporting the delivery of the adopted educational program, be accessible to all, and adaptable to future demographic, educational, and community needs. • Support students, parents, teachers and staff in closing achievement gaps, and preparing students for the workforce, post-secondary education, and lifelong learning.
Vision and Guiding Principles • Consider the full spectrum of community facilities and support opportunities for joint-use and educational partnerships. • Ensure safety from existing and potential hazards and incompatible land uses. • Provide a secure environment with a focus on supervision.
Vision and Guiding Principles • Create comfortable, attractive, and stimulating environments that support collaboration and diverse learning styles and opportunities. • Promote sustainable practices that conserve natural resources, limit greenhouse gas emissions, optimize construction and life cycle costs, and encourage walking and bicycling.
Vision and Guiding Principles • Incorporate superior acoustics, indoor-air quality, and natural lighting. • Respond to current and future information, communication, and technology needs. • Support student health, nutrition, and physical fitness
Site Approval Process Overview FACILITY MASTER PLAN Local Educational Agency (LEA) evaluates short and long term facility needs POTENTIAL SITES LEA identifies and evaluates potential sites CDE EVALUATION CDE evaluates/ranks three or more of the potential sites identified by the LEA, and notes any required special studies per Title 5 (SFPD 4. 0) OPSC SUBMITTAL LEA submits CDE site & plan approval letters as part of their Office of Public School Construction (OPSC) funding application CDE SITE APPROVAL LEA submits site package, Analyst reviews, Field Rep. and Asst. Dir. approves if Code & Title 5 standards and procedures are met PREFERRED SITE LEA selects preferred site and prepares CDE required documents, completes procedures per Codes and Title 5, including CEQA & DTSC (SFPD 4. 01)
Plan Approval Process Overview EDUCATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS LEA develops/adopts Educational Specifications DEVELOPING THE PLANS LEA develops and submits preliminary plans to CDE (design development with SFPD form 4. 07 / 4. 08) OPSC SUBMITTAL LEA submits CDE plan approval letter as part of their OPSC funding application CDE PRELIMINARY PLAN REVIEW Analyst reviews plans per Title 5, Field Rep. may require or recommend changes. LEA resolves CDE concerns, makes plan changes CDE FINAL PLAN APPROVAL LEA submits final plans, Field Rep. & Asst. Dir. approves if Code & Title 5 standards are met, and CEQA & DTSC (if applicable) are Complete
CDE Top 10 Tips 1. Develop and Use Educational Specifications – Links function / educational program to design – Required by Title 5 – Involve all stakeholders in development u u u – Teachers Classified Parents Community Students Board-adopted
CDE Top 10 Tips 2. Develop / Update a Facilities Master Plan - - – – Recommend 5+ year timeframe, update at least every 3 -5 years CDE reviews Master Plan with site approval package to justify site size acquisition, master plan capacity Identify need to acquire land, build or consolidate Where to build What to modernize
CDE Top 10 Tips 3. Ensure that LEA staff, your architects and consultants understand use CCR Title 5, e. g. : – – Minimum classroom sizes Parking lot, drop-off, bus separations/safety Mitigations noted in site approval, such as: power line setbacks, pipeline mitigations, demonstration of adequate physical education on smaller sites Know how to request & document standard exemptions
CDE Top 10 Tips 4. Use most current forms/guidance from CDE Web – Latest requirements and certifications on forms – Small school site policy / maximum student density – Physical education – guidance for smaller sites – Guidance for power lines, pipelines,
CDE Top 10 Tips 5. Early and frequent contact with CDE Field Representative – Review of requirements, processes – New laws, regulations, policies, recommended guidance – Scheduling of review times – Consider attending County Office of Ed. Facilities Planners Meetings
CDE Top 10 Tips 6. Plan sites for future growth (acreage, access, supervision, interaction, support for expand capacity) Support and other facilities such as: – – – – Additional toilets Cafeteria/outdoor seating, satellite food services Lockers Physical education teaching stations New construction / relocatable classrooms Special Education • District and County Office of Education • Parking and other interaction on campus Preschool / day care Joint-Use
CDE Top 10 Tips 7. Understand the role / timelines of CDE, City/County and any other approval agencies – – – Are there any other agency approvals or overrides needed? (e. g. , Coastal Commission, Regional Planning Agency, Army Corp of Engineers, Airport Land Use Commission, Dept. of Conservation. Williamson Act Contracts, Air Quality Mgmt. Dist, Cal. Trans-Airports, Cities/Counties, etc. ) Need for utility and road access, connections Off-site improvements, mitigations
CDE Top 10 Tips 8. Ensure your documents / studies are consistent internally and with each other same location, acreage, project scope, master plan capacity, conclusions / findings in all submitted to CDE, such as: – California Environment Quality Act (CEQA) – EIRs, Neg. Decs. – Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) – Phase I – Geohazards Reports – Safety Studies (pipelines, powerlines, railroads, etc. )
CDE Top 10 Tips 9. Clear Definition of Project Scope Upfront – What level of CEQA analysis is needed? – Is DTSC approval needed? If so, be prepared for Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment, Preliminary Endangerment Assessment, or Removal Actions, etc. – Other safety studies as required / noted on the SFPD 4. 0 Initial Site Evaluation – All joint use acreage included/covered by reports?
CDE Top 10 Tips 10. Submit Preliminary Plans to CDE – Schematic/Design development docs. (2050%) – Saves time for CDE final plan approval – Saves money (fewer unexpected changes later) – Better final product – Insist your design professional submit early (before DSA submittal) – Respond to preliminary plan required changes and comments in final plan
CDE Top 10 Tips Bonus tips: – Be aware of funding deadlines, don’t wait and file at the last minute – Read consultant / architect prepared forms/reports before submitting to CDE – Submit drawings / plans that are readable and call out uses, dimensions, safety equipment etc. – Submit only complete packages with forms completely filled out – Use the Env. Hazards Checklist form for site
