Results from the Caddo Parish School Board's comprehensive facilities study are in, but this is just the beginning.
School Board members have 20 days to digest a 5000+ document showing the condition of all public schools and district facilities. The study is a part of the Vision 2020 plan to reshape schools.
In a presentation to the board this month, representatives from Houston-based Parsons Commercial Technology Group said the total estimated cost to raise conditions of Caddo schools to a good rating would range from $548 million to $803 million.
The report showed that of the 79 schools and sites assessed, 73 percent are in poor condition and 19 percent are in fair condition.
Concerns were raised about funds being used to maintain abandoned buildings, an issue also addressed in the study. Read more http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2010100630020.
The board will hear recommendations from schools Superintendent Gerald Dawkins on July 27 about changes that should be made. This could include school consolidations, closures or other configurations such as more K-6 schools.
