LRFMP Board Presentation Feb2025

This is a February 2025 board presentation from the School District of Clayton outlining a long-range facilities and master plan (LRFMP). It summarizes district enrollment trends, facility assessments, stakeholder engagement (steering and building-level committees, community forums, surveys), and proposed renovations/new construction at multiple sites (Family Center, Captain, Meramec, Wydown, Clayton HS, athletics at Gay Field) with preliminary Level 2 cost estimates and contingency percentages (examples: Family Center total w/ markups $7,736,098; Meramec Level 2 total w/ markups $26,873,970; Athletics Level 2 total w/ markups $23,235,422). The presentation projects borrowing capacity of up to $90M at the current $0.5110 debt levy (an early planning figure; the bond ultimately placed before voters in April 2026 was $135M), and notes the district spends about $4M annually on capital maintenance.
