School Closure/Consolidation Program Project

School Closure/Consolidation Program Project

ACUSD provides preschool through 12th grade and adult education services to Amador County. ACUSD is considering a program to consolidate eight schools onto six campuses. Sutter Creek Primary School (at 110 Board Street in the city of Sutter Creek) and Ione Elementary School will be closed for later disposition. • The District proposes to combine Amador High School (HS) and Argonaut HS at Argonaut High School. This would change the enrollment capacity from 925 students to 1,325 students; the school would continue to serve grades 9 through 12. The number of teaching stations would increase from 37 to 53. This campus would have site and building improvements to accommodate the increase in enrollment. The District would add a 2-story, 10-classroom building (with 4 science labs and 6 standard classrooms), relocate 5 portable classrooms from Jackson Junior HS and Ione Elementary School to this campus, convert 2 preschool classrooms to regular classrooms, convert a classroom for counseling office, renovate and expand the kitchen, and renovate and expand gymnasium locker rooms. The campus would have a new parent drop-off, new access road connecting to Stony Creek Road, and accessibility compliance improvements throughout campus. • The District proposes to combine Ione Junior HS and Jackson Junior HS at Amador HS. This change would not affect the enrollment capacity (875 students) of the campus nor the number of teaching stations (35 teaching stations). The campuses would serve grades 7 through 8 instead of grades 9 through 12. • The District proposes to relocate Ione Elementary School to Ione Junior High School and would add preschool and transitional kindergarten (TK), and grades 1 through 5, to the campus. This would change the enrollment capacity of the campus from 775 students serving grades 6 through 8 to 801 students serving preschool and grades TK through 6. Teaching stations would remain at 31. This campus would also have site and building improvements to accommodate the increase in enrollment. The District would add 2 new classroom buildings and playground for preschool, TK, and Extending Learning; convert science labs to kindergarten classrooms; and convert restrooms to kindergarten restrooms. The District would also expand the parent drop-off/pick-up areas, expand the kindergarten drop-off area, expand the kitchen, and construct a new play structure and hardcourt areas. • The District would convert Jackson Junior HS into the County Preschool Center. This would change the enrollment capacity and grade levels from 475 students in grades 6 through 8 to 195 preschool and transitional kindergarten students. The number of teaching stations would decrease from 19 to 15. Restrooms and fountains would be converted to age-appropriate fixtures. • The District would add 6th grade to Jackson Elementary School. The enrollment capacity of 575 students and 23 teaching stations would remain the same. • The District would expand Sutter Creek Elementary School to create a TK through 6th grade campus. This would increase the enrollment capacity from 325 students in grades TK through 2 to 625 students in grades TK through 6. The number of teaching stations would increase from 13 to 25. To accommodate the increase in students, the District would construct a new classroom building with 12 classrooms and a lunch shelter.
