The Acknowledgment identifies the community members, district support staff and consultants that participated in the planning of the 2006 Bond Program.

Executive Summary ............................. Page 5

Planning Calendar ................................ Page 6

Identifies dates, events, and processes conducted by the District, Citizen’s Bond Committee and Consultants.

Enrollment Projections ........................ Page 7

10-Yr Projection Demographics .. Pages 8 - 11

The maps locate each of Lamar CISD’s existing schools. For each school, two colored bars compare the capacity of the existing school with its current and projected enrollments. The corresponding colored bar (and accommodating numbers) describe the school’s existing capacity (Cap). If the current enrollment is lower than the existing capacity, white space remains in the corresponding colored bar. The projected enrollment in excess of the existing capacity is indicated by the yellow bar.

The map indicates that growth is anticipated across the district with most schools projected to exceed its capacity during the planning period.

District Map ................................. Pages 12 -13

The District Map locates the number and location of the District’s 18 existing elementary schools (designated with blue circle), 2 middle schools and 3 junior high schools (designated with orange triangle), and 3 high schools (designated with purple diamond).

The large circle represents 3 new elementary schools and 1 new elementary school (design only for the 2006 bond program). Four new elementary schools are planned for a future bond program.

The large triangle represents 1 new 6th grade school and 1 new junior school. A second 6th grade school is planned for design only in this 2006 Bond Program.

The large blue diamond represents 1 new high school. A second high school is planned for a future Bond.

Schedules & Descriptions ........ Pages 14 - 26

The projects are organized in groups: Elementary (land purchases, new and existing), Middle Schools (land purchases, new and existing), High Schools (land purchases, new and existing), Special Schools, and Support Facilities (new and existing). For each project, the amount listed is the anticipated total cost including site improvements, construction, fees, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, technology, materials of instruction, project management, bond fees, and inflation. All costs are computed in 2006 dollars and inflated to the dates at which projects are to be bid and awarded. Inflation rates are 2007 - 1.06%, 2008 - 1.07%, 2009 - 1.08%, 2010+ at 1.07%.

The Schedule starts with 2006 and continues through 2015. School years are indicated in grey tones in the background. Projects or expenditures in the 2006 Bond Program are indicated by solid bars or dots. The bars indicated when projects will start and when they will be finished—typically at the start of a fall semester. The dot on each of these bars indicates when the construction contract is to be awarded and is the date used to determine the amount of inflation to be added to the base costs computed in 2006 dollars. New projects in the planning period to be funded via future bond programs are indicated by hollow bars.

A description follows for each project identifying the proposed scope of work included in the 2006 Bond Program.

Tax Information .......................... Pages 27 - 29

The bond election will occur November 7, 2006. The first bond sale is proposed for January 2007 and then, as needed, to accomplish the bond projects. Future bond programs will be planned to cover the projected future work as identified in the District’s Future Recommendations List.
