Document Description
In order to allow John F. Kennedy Elementary School to change from operating on a year round schedule to a traditional schedule, the School District proposes to replace 23 single story portable classroom structures existing on-site with 22 permanent classrooms. The construction of permanent classrooms proposed would allow change from a year round to a traditional schedule but would not increase the enrollment capacity of the school. It would, however, result in a greater number of students on-site at one time. The proposed permanent classrooms would be contained in a single two-story building, approximately 33,634 square feet in size, to be located at the southeast corner of the school site. The area is presently devoted to playfields and recreation area. Portable classrooms on-site presently occupy approximately 22,080 square feet of area that would be returned to playfields/recreation uses. The proposed two-story classroom building would occupy a footprint of approximately 16,817 square feet in area, resulting in a net gain of approximately 5,263 square feet of playfield/recreation area. No portable classrooms would remain on-site after the propsed project is implemented. The change in the operating schedule and additional recreational area regained would benefit the students of the school district. Additional description of the proposed project and conditions on-site and in the surrounding area is contained in Attachments to this Notice of Exemption.
