New Davie High/Auxiliary Campus, Early College
Facility Needs

Board Proposal from July 14, 2009

• The Board of Education voted to request the Board
  of County Commissioners to fund, by whatever
  means they deem appropriate, either by allocation
  of funds, the sale of COPS, or the sale of bonds
• the construction of a new Davie County High
  School on a site centrally located in the county
  with a square footage not to exceed 207,132
  square feet,
• including within that square footage an alternate
  bid for an approximately 11,500 square foot,
  750-person auditorium.
• the construction of a new building or facility,
  not exceed 12,000 square feet of space, for the
  Early College on the community college campus, to
  be dedicated for the exclusive use of the
  community college and school system for the
  operation of the high school portion of the Early
  College program.
• In addition, to request the Board of Trustees of
  the Davidson County Community College Board to
  join in the request of the Board of Education to
  the County Commissioners and to enter into an
  Agreement or Memorandum of Understanding with the
  Board of Education regarding the planning,
  design, construction and use of the new facility
  for the Early College Program.

Proposal DevelopmentNew Davie High/Auxiliary
Campus Goals

• Create a 9-12 plan which uses the current Davie
  High campus for identified 11th and 12th grade
  elective courses in conjunction with courses
  offered at a new Davie High campus.
• Compare the size requirements for current and
  future instructional spaces by program areas and
  disciplines.
• Evaluate the possibilities of moving other DCS
  departments/programs to the current Davie High
  campus.

4
Proposal DevelopmentNew Davie High/Auxiliary
Campus Findings

• The combined use of a new 9-12 Davie High campus
  and an auxiliary campus, the current Davie
  campus, would provide more instructional
  opportunities for our students with both campuses
  being under the direct supervision of the new
  Davie High principal.
• This combined use would require a scheduling
  approach for both campuses which would allow
  maximum student/teacher flexibility.
• Additional spaces would be available for other
  DCS programs or departments at the current Davie
  High campus.

5
Proposal DevelopmentHow the instructional plan
would work

• All students would take core area subjects at the
  new Davie High.
• All students would attend the new Davie High
  campus at some point every school day.
• Selected 11th and 12th grade electives would be
  offered at the auxiliary campus (current Davie
  High). These electives would be drawn from a
  variety of programs and disciplines.
• Students wishing to take those electives would
  either attend those classes in the morning at the
  auxiliary campus and then go to the new Davie
  High campus for core and other elective courses
  or they would start the instructional day at the
  new Davie High campus and then go to the
  auxiliary campus for the selected elective
  courses.

6
Proposal DevelopmentHow the instructional plan
would work

• Since electives offered at the auxiliary campus
  would be those designed for 11th and 12th grade
  students, many of them would drive to the
  auxiliary campus but we would need shuttle
  services during the instructional day for those
  who needed transportation.
• This would also mean that some of those students
  would be able to eat off campus during their
  trips between campuses. There would still need to
  be a working cafeteria at the auxiliary campus to
  serve students who want to eat lunch while there.
  
• The number of students who are off the new Davie
  High campus at any one time during the
  instructional day would allow common areas such
  as the cafeteria to be built for 1700 students.

Possible Curriculum Offerings at the Auxiliary
campus

• Advanced art courses
• Advanced Marketing
• Apprenticeship/Internship classes
• Advanced PE courses such as Lifestyles class and
  advanced weightlifting
• Prostart I and II (culinary)

Possible Curriculum Offerings at the Auxiliary
campus

  learning

Proposal DevelopmentHow the instructional plan
would work

• The teachers of the selected electives to be
  taught at the auxiliary campus would need to
  follow the basic plan that students would follow.
  
• These teachers may begin their teaching day at
  the auxiliary campus and then travel to the new
  Davie High to teach additional courses or they
  may begin at the new Davie High and then travel
  to the auxiliary campus.

Example of a teacher schedule

• Richard
• New Davie High

Benefits of New Davie High and Auxiliary Campus
Plan

• The plan will allow us to design a more
  functional main high school campus which, in
  conjunction with the auxiliary campus, will
  better address the space/facility needs of our
  9-12 students.
• The plan would provide more instructional
  opportunities for our students. Currently, we
  simply cannot increase core and elective
  offerings as we are bound by space limitations on
  one campus.
• All Davie County students will attend the new
  Davie High campus while some may attend the
  auxiliary campus for particular courses as needed
  by their program of study.

13
Benefits of New Davie High and Auxiliary Campus
Plan

• The two campuses will encourage more scheduling
  options hybrid schedules, combinations of
  year-long and semester courses, longer and more
  lab type classes on the auxiliary campus, etc.
• The plan will allow greater flexibility to the
  course needs of our students on a year-by-year
  basis.
• Since the principal of the new Davie High would
  be the principal for the auxiliary campus as
  well, both campuses would operate under the same
  decision-making process and would be aligned in
  all matters.

14
Benefits of New Davie High and Auxiliary Campus
Plan

• Our high school students would not have to take
  classes in one of the 26 mobiles on the current
  Davie High campus.
• The plan has provisions to maximize much of the
  current Davie High campus as it provides for use
  of the campus to supplement the new Davie High
  curriculum but also allows for other DCS
  programs/departments to occupy the current Davie
  High campus.

15
Proposal DevelopmentHow we determined the space
needs for an 1700 student high school

• Current site is 192,764 square feet in permanent
  space.
• Current site has 26 mobile classrooms (21,764
  square feet)
• Current site has1 POD (5,000 square feet)
• Minimum space requirements as recommended by
  NCDPI were determined for a new school.

16
Proposal DevelopmentNew Davie High Needs

• We would need to construct a minimum of 207,132
  sq ft facility for the new Davie High.
• Alternate bid for a 750 seat theatre/auditorium
  which would be approximately 11,500 sq ft.
• 31.3M estimated proposed cost as provided by FWA
  Group Architects including 5 contingency, hard
  and soft costs, and theatre/auditorium.
• The goal is to occupy the new high school by the
  fall of 2011.

17
Proposal Development
Early College Facility Goals

• Determine the facility needs for Davie County
  Early College High School to accommodate the
  instructional and non-instructional needs of up
  to 240 students and up to 14 staff members.

  needs.
