Key Learning SummaryOASD has grown by approximately 1000 students over the
last ten years. This reflects an increase of 23% during that time.Several OASD schools are at or over capacity.
• Meadow View, Ixonia, OHS• Capacity analysis will be updated after 3rd Friday count
Meadow View and Ixonia Elementary are older buildings with some challenging building limitations.New development planned over the next 5 years is
estimated to bring an additional 700 potential single family units.
Key Learning SummaryThe Applied Population Lab projection for OASD indicated a
slight decline in enrollment based on declining birth rates but did not take into account new community housing development and growth.OHS has relatively firm projected growth, from 1500 to 2000
students over the next five years.OASD finances have been well managed over the past 10
years.• District credit rating is very good• Debt has been refinanced to the extent possible, with a
direct savings of $3 million dollars.
Key Learning SummaryCurrent Open Enrollment is a net loss of 214 students,
costing the district $1.7 million in 2014-15.The McKinstry Study identified up to $41 million in
infrastructure needs.• HVAC at $23M, general facility at $12.8M; electrical at $10.5M• Greatest needs are OHS at $15M and Meadow View at $10.5M
Modern Learning Environments allow for flexibility and more individualized teaching—learner centered rather than teacher centered.
• Looking for data to show gains/benefits, but outlook is positive
The value of a broad community survey prior to final decision-making was explained by Bill Foster from School Perceptions, LLC.

how turnover in existing developments impacts enrollment changes.October 14th: FAC/Community will hear about
potential impact of community, developer, and builder plans as well as new housing unit projections for the next 10 years.Developed a district map with 40 distinct
“neighborhoods.” Enrollment projections will be based on these neighborhoods.
Exploration of Existing Sites• Soil borings at Ixonia, Meadow View, and OHS• Wetland delineation studies at Ixonia and Meadow
View• Due diligence and timely, proactive preparation on
behalf of the Board.
School Perceptions Survey Progress• Met with Bill Foster and have several conference
calls for progress updates.• Initial draft continues to be developed.• Near-final draft will be shared with FAC on October

10-Year Review of OASD Capital Projects
OASD has dedicated $9.77M through its operational budget, capital projects budget, and fund balance to various long-range maintenance and capital projects.If recent Athletic Fields Forever Project included, total
district-funded capital investment is $13.26M.The District’s long-range maintenance and capital
project budget is now $500,000 per year. This budget line item has gradually increased over the past 10 years from $0 as a result of operational efficiencies and energy cost savings / avoidances.
Capital Projects PrioritizationThe McKinstry Report outlines long-range infrastructure and capital projects totaling approximately $41M.
Administration has further categorized the various projects: Priority 1
• Items beyond or near useful life, with high failure probability• Potentially high impact on students/operations upon failure• Parts/repairs/replacements unavailable or are very difficult to locate• Estimated cost to address significantly beyond general operating
budget
$41M is the midpoint of the budget minimum and budget maximum provided for each project within the report .
Capital Projects PrioritizationPrioritization continued…Priority 2
• Items will longer remaining life expectancy but failure possibility still within the next 5-10 years.
• Reduced impact on students/operations upon failure• Parts/repairs/replacements still possible to locate when needed• Estimated cost to address less than Priority 1 but still generally beyond
addressing in general operating budget
Safety/Security: Items for the safety and security of students
Upgrades: Items that we operate without currently, replacements for energy efficiency, improvements for comfort, non-critical item, or not near useful life
Capital Projects Prioritization –Priority 1
Priority 1 items consist of HVAC projects, asbestos abatement related to mechanical work, heating system updates, roof replacements, fire alarm system replacements, and some security system requirements considered critical.
