Project Considerations

EASD sought solutions that aligned with the overarching goal of maintaining the quality of our educational offerings in a fiscally sound and sustainable manner. The following Guiding Principles were used to help district administration and the school directors identify the solution to renovate Bainbridge and Rheems Elementary Schools:

• Population density of our students
• Geographic location of our schools
• The elementary population as a whole
• Building capacity, age and conditions of our schools
• Equity of our educational offerings at each building
• Transportation, maintenance and security
• Maximizing the efficiencies of our operations and schools.
