Title

Eastside Neighborhood School

Description

The District proposes to develop a TK-6 school with 31 classrooms to serve the Eastside Neighborhood. Approximately 1,274 students in the Eastside Neighborhood currently attend five surrounding District schools. Four of those Eastside Neighborhood serving schools are located outside the Eastside Neighborhood. The proposed project would provide a local neighborhood school for this area. Several scenarios were considered, and the District selected three options as the most viable and included for further evaluation. All three options would require vacation of Park Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets, and acquisition of 25 parcels in Block B and C, totaling 4.27 acres (see Figure 3, Parcel Blocks). The proposed project would involve demolition of the existing structures on the acquired parcels and construction of about 67,300 to 71,000 square feet of building space depending on the option. Other project components vary by project option as described below. Option 1 would require the acquisition of 4.27 acres, including 16 parcels in Block B and C developed with 11 dwelling units, 2 commercial businesses, a church, and 9 vacant parcels, totaling 25 parcels. Option 1 project site would be a total of 8.17 acres including the 4.27 acres to be acquired and the District owned 3.9-acre Lincoln High School. Lincoln HS students would transfer to a different facility within the District. An elementary school (TK—6) would be constructed on the entire 8.17-acre site. Option 2 would require the acquisition of 4.27 acres totaling 25 parcels in Block B and C to construct an elementary school (TK—6). The existing District-owned, 3.9-acre Lincoln High School would remain and maintain current operations, and a joint use agreement would be prepared to use the adjacent 3.3-acre Lincoln Park as playfields for the elementary school during school hours. Option 3 would require the acquisition of 4.27 acres totaling 25 parcels in Block B and C. The District-owned, 3.9-acre Lincoln High School would be demolished and cleared (except for Unit G) and a new smaller high school and an elementary school (TK—6) would be constructed on an 8.17-acre site.
