letters (down 332).

Current Construction Costs
• 2010 costs ran $141/ square foot
• About 9.6% more than $128 in 2009.
Insignificant number to tabulate so far in 2011
• We urge you to return our cost information
requests - it’s the only way we can share this
valuable info everyone needs! Only + Half of you
are responding.
• We are looking for Total Sq. Ft. & Bid Costs as
Awarded
• Separate Site Work bids allow projects to be
compared more easily and allow fields to
become established prior to occupancy

New Potential/Actual Legislative Action
• Layoffs of thousands of LEA teacher assts, asst
principals, central staff and others, 70-80 DPI
staff as well as educational programs
– GOOD POSSIBILITY IT WILL INCLUDE
ELIMINATION OF SCHOOL PLANNING AND PLANT
OPERATION
• ADM fund (From Corporate Income
Tax) may be eliminated
• Change Lottery distribution (more for
Construction) (or less)
• Raise Cap on Charters substantially
• We now manage Deaf & Blind Residential
Schools
Federal Stimulus Funding
• ALL QSCB Money allocated – may have
some turned back in
• QZAB Money (interest free (or almost) loans) still
available: $84,517,234 - apply anytime
– 35% or greater free/reduced lunch
– Renovations only
– 10% match with local business (can be in-kind)
Other Rumblings/Bills
• Tax credit for private schools
• Fund only 1 supt/county
• Raise/eliminate Charter Cap, transfer control
to new commission
• Lower Corporate Tax Rate - eliminate
portion to PSBCF (school construction)
• All or most Lottery Money to school
construction - distribution by ADM only
Or
• Less money for School Construction

Plan Review Issues
• Small, non A/E designed projects cause
the most problems
– Often Booster Clubs, PTA
– Good intentions
– Not knowledgeable about building codes or
bidding laws
– Poor structural, HAC, building details
– Designed to be ‘cheap” not long lasting or
energy efficient
– Do schools really want a “Pig in a Poke”
Challenge
• Creative Financing – Must get money from
numerous sources
• Get the most for your buck – quality
construction, vanilla materials
• Remember that longevity and low
maintenance are crucial – be careful with
“experimentation”
• True design is about function, design for
learning and spatial relationships not just
“how quick can we do this” or geometry.
