Description

Enrollment projections at Ashburton Elementary School reflect a need for an addition. Ashburton Elementary School has a program capacity for 628 students. Enrollment is expected to reach 835 students by the 2020-2021 school year. A feasibility study was conducted in FY 2013 to determine the cost and scope of the project. In the approved FY 2015-2020 CIP, while the planning funds for this project remain on the schedule requested by the Board of Education, due to fiscal constraints, the construction funds were programmed one year later, with a completion date of August 2020. The Board of Education's requested FY2015-2020 Amended CIP reinstated the construction schedule previously requested by the Board. Due to fiscal constraints, the County Council did not approve the Board's request. Based on new enrollment projections, this school has one of the highest space deficits of projects approved in the Amended FY2015-2020 CIP. Therefore, the Board of Education, in the FY 2017-2022 CIP accelerated this project one year. An FY 2017 appropriation was approved for planning funds. An FY 2018 appropriation was approved for construction funds. As part of the FY 2019-2024 CIP process, it was determined that there was shortfall in FY 2018 of Recordation and School Impact Tax. The county executive recommended a $3 million reduction in FY 2018 for MCPS. Based on the change in scope of this addition project, as well as favorable construction costs at the time this project was bid, it was determined that a $3 million reduction to this project was possible, without any change to the construction project or the completion date. Therefore, a $3 million reduction in this project was approved as part of the FY2019-2024 CIP process. An FY 2019 appropriation was approved for the balance of funding. This project is scheduled to be completed August 2019.
