Executive Summary (1 of 4)

Background and scope:Multi-year infrastructure planning options were prepared for ASD-E to address aging schoolinfrastructure located within the Tantramar Community. The District Education Council (DEC)voted to have an infrastructure review performed for the following four schools:

In particular, the review was to explore options with respect to closing Marshview Middle Schooland moving the students to Tantramar Regional High School. The school was to be reconfiguredto a 6-12. In addition, the DEC wanted to examine Salem Elementary (reconfigured to K-5) andDorchester Consolidated schools to determine how the elementary feed schools fit into the plan.

Objectives:Summarize the results so the District and DEC can review, choose a scenario and build abusiness case for the development of a capital plan considering both pedagogical and fiscalrequirements. Considerations were to include topography, building age, floor plans/size, assetcondition, current/projected enrolments, transportation, pedagogy and operational/capital costs.

Sackville:§ Salem Elementary School (K-4)§ Marshview Middle School (5-8)§ Tantramar Regional High School (9-12)

Dorchester:§ Dorchester Consolidated School (K-8)

Page 4

Executive Summary – Results (2 of 4)

§ The primary supporting factors of the business case would be the initiation of a revitalizationplan and improvements of infrastructure to support pedagogical needs. The decliningenrolments in the Tantramar area have resulted in Marshview Middle and Tantramar RegionalHigh schools being classified as small schools. This has resulted in an overall surplus ofpedagogical space compared to the current EECD Planning Guidelines, which will onlyincrease as the enrolments are projected to decline out to 2031-32.

§ Operational costs are high when compared to maintaining the space specified in theguidelines (e.g. Marshview Middle School has a floor that is not used by the school. Some ofthis space is used for District storage and by some community groups including the GirlGuides, Gymnastics Club, Archery Club and the Sackville Citizen’s Band. It was noted thatMarshview’s gymnasium and cafeteria were used almost every night of the week andweekends for public school use).

§ The Facility Condition Index (FCI) rating is Poor for three of the schools, and TantramarRegional High School is rated Fair. The total deferred maintenance cost for the four schoolswas identified as $7.7M in the EECD School Physical Plant Status Report.

§ Busses already commute from the Dorchester Consolidated School to the Sackville area forthe Early French Immersion Program. The District anticipates minimum changes in studenttransportation and associated costs due to the close proximity of the Sackville schools.

§ Reconfiguring to a standard grade configuration of K-5 and mixed school of 6-12 would requirean addition or a new K-5 school to replace Salem Elementary School.

Note: A FCI rating of Poor or Fair does not mean a building is unsafe or unfit for use. Older buildings often have more deferred maintenance than newer buildings.

Executive Summary – Scenario Results (3 of 4)

§ A high-level review determined the costs of a new addition and renovations would beapproximately 44% of a new K-5 school and 27% of a new K-4 school for Salem Elementary.There is little room on the property for an addition without a land purchase or removing theplayfield. The plan for a combined middle school would have to be changed from a 6-12 to a5-12 (not a standard school configuration) if a K-4 addition were selected for revitalization.

§ Excluding Dorchester Consolidated School from the Sackville scenarios means the schoolwould eventually require a mid-life upgrade to address life-cycle maintenance costs ($1.8M indeferred maintenance) that is not included in the scenario cost estimates.

Executive Summary – Scenario Results (4 of 4)

§ Option 2 includes the mid-life upgrade of Tantramar Regional. The estimated cost of $7.0Mincludes renovation of classroom and speciality space for middle school, an addition for gymspace and the currently identified deferred maintenance. This is approximately 24% of theestimated cost of a new 6-12 school, and does not include any refurbishment/ beautification ofhigh school space that is not on the deferred maintenance list.

§ The deferred maintenance list is not all inclusive. If option 2 is selected as the preferredsolution, it is recommended that a building assessment be performed to confirm the estimatedcost of the renovations compared to the cost of an entirely new school.

*Note: Class "D" estimate (± 30%) based on the EECD Planning Guidelines for Educational Facilities, as an estimate for this report only. Estimates will be adjusted whenEECD Infrastructure and project team establish the actual space allocation. (The number of general classrooms in the scenarios were based on those levels provided for

TantramarRegional is considered a small high school based on the enrolment and is a combined school. This could affect the calculation of home rooms typicallyused for high school planning).

§ Based on the scope criteria of standardizing to a K-5 and 6-12 scenario, and the potential toexceed the cost threshold of 50% of a new K-5 building in an elementary school extension fora reconfiguration, it is recommended that the district and DEC consider the following optionsto select the best solution:

Page 7

Scope – The District requested EY to perform a multi-scenario review of Tantramar Community Schools toassist in the long-term infrastructure planning processMulti-year infrastructure planning options were prepared for ASD-E to address aging schoolinfrastructure located within the Tantramar Community. Determine the business casesupporting the projects considering both pedagogical and fiscal requirements:

► Scenario: Construction of a new 6-12 school§ Closing Marshview Middle School (5-8) and Tantramar Regional High School (9-12) and

reconfiguring the new mixed school (6-12).§ Develop a Class "D" estimate (± 30%) for the construction costs of a new 6-12 school

based on the space requirements identified in the EECD Planning Guidelines forEducational Facilities.

► Scenario: Reconfiguration of Tantramar Regional High to a 6-12 school§ Closing Marshview Middle School (5-8), and reconfiguring Tantramar Regional High

School to a 6-12 school. Consolidation plan to include a mid-life upgrade to extend theservice life of the school (include all the projects within the deferred maintenance list).

► Scenario: Construction of a new K-12 school§ Closing Dorchester Consolidated (K-8), Salem Elementary School (K-4), Marshview

Middle School (5-8) and Tantramar Regional High School (9-12).§ Develop a Class "D" estimate (± 30%) for the construction costs of a new K-12 school

based on the space requirements identified in the EECD Planning Guidelines forEducational Facilities.

Page 8

Scope (continued) – The District requested EY to performa multi-scenario review of Tantramar Community Schools

► Scenario: Determine how the elementary feed schools align to previous scenarios§ The District noted that the DEC wanted to examine how the elementary feed schools

Dorchester Consolidated School (K-8) and Salem Elementary School (K-4) fit into thelong-term plan (Port Elgin Regional School was out of scope).

§ Options may include boundary re-alignment or grade re-configuration, amalgamation,renovation or a new K-5 school.

§ Develop a Class "D" estimate (± 30%) for the construction costs of the a new K-5 schoolbased on the space requirements identified in the EECD Planning Guidelines forEducational Facilities.

► The District and DEC wanted the scenarios prepared at a high-level for consideration inpotential business case development of future project(s).

► The District anticipates minimum changes in student transportation and associated costsdue to the close proximity of the three schools in Sackville. Additionally, there is alreadybussing from the Dorchester Consolidated School boundary into the Sackville schools forstudents taking Early French Immersion.

Context – Overall average FCI* is rated Poor for the fourschools included within the review► Replacement value for all four existing school structures is approximately $73.7M.

§ Based on current floor area and replacement cost of $2,690/m2.

► Overall average asset condition for the four schools included within the scenario is ratedPoor at 0.15, based on FCI* ranges that are recommended in the APPA Book ofKnowledge (2009) for Facilities Management:

► Note: FCI is a measure for Facility Planners to equate the amount of deferredmaintenance to the space of a building for comparison. A rating of Poor or Fair does notmean a building is unsafe or unfit for use. Older buildings often have more deferredmaintenance than newer buildings (e.g. the deferred maintenance can require upgradesto modernize heating, ventilation and control systems that did not exist when the buildingwas constructed).

► The total deferred maintenance cost for the four schools was identified as $7.7M in theEECD School Physical Plant Status Report.

*FCI: Facility Condition Index with the following ranges: Poor (>0.10), Fair (0.05 to 0.10) and Good (<0.05).

Context – Total K-12 enrolment has been decreasing forthe schools at an average annual rate of 1.26% since 2010and is projected to decrease at a slower rate to 2029► Aggregate floor area is 27,402 m2, or 11.2% of District total of 245,549 m2.

► Age of school assets ranges from 68 years (Marshview Middle School) to 37 years (SalemElementary School).

► Total 2016-17 enrolment for the four schools in scope is 1,091 students.

► 2016-17 enrolment is 45% of original design capacity of 2,424 for the four schools.

§ From 2010 to 2016, enrolment decreased by 7.5% (annual average decrease of 1.26%).

§ Projections from 2016 to 2023 from the Baragar software indicated K-12 enrolment isexpected to increase by 4.3% (annual average increase of 0.61%).

§ The peak enrolment is projected at 1,138 students in the year 2023-24 for K-12.

§ Projections from 2023 to 2029 indicate K-12 enrolment is expected to decrease by 14.3%(annual average decrease of 2.54%). The total percentage decrease in enrolmentbetween 2016 and 2029 would be 10.6% (annual average decrease of 1.04%).

Enrolment History and Projections

Page 13

Dorchester Consolidated (a trigger school*) had asustainability study performed in 2015; Baragar enrolmentprojections indicate school will remain below 100 students

► In February 2015, the DEC voted in favour of performing a sustainability study for DorchesterConsolidated School (K-8), which had been identified as a trigger school* (2015-16 enrolmentwas 58 students – 41 students in K-5 and 17 students in 6-8). The DEC voted in favour ofkeeping Dorchester Consolidated School open after the study was completed.

► Baragar enrolment projections (done up to 2031-32) for Dorchester Consolidated indicatedthat the school will remain well below 100 students for the foreseeable future.

► A Perception Survey was conducted at the schools for ASD-E by The Learning Bar Inc. in2015-16 and each school was scored for 20 indicators in elementary school (grades 4 and 5)and 35 indicators in middle school (grades 6-8) based on research for school and classroomeffectiveness. The indicators were grouped by social-emotional outcomes, academicoutcomes, drivers of student outcomes and demographic factors.

► The results for Dorchester Consolidated School have the potential to be skewed by outliers ata small school. There were 15 respondents for the elementary survey and 13 respondents forthe middle school portion. Salem Elementary is a K-4 school, and the survey was for grades 4to 5. As a result, there were only 12 respondents in the survey, which has potential to skewthe results.

► Results of indicators for Dorchester Consolidated School and the Sackville schools are notcomparable on an individual basis because there were fewer than 30 students surveyed inDorchester (Central Limit Theorem for Normal Distribution – to make inferences, the samplesize should be large enough, i.e. 30 data points or more, which was not the case here).*A trigger school has fewer than 100 students or less than 30% capacity and requires a feasibility study (as defined in a statement by the Minister of Education and EarlyChildhood Development dated 27 March 2015).

Page 14

For consideration, ASD-E had a Perception Survey*conducted by The Learning Bar Inc. comparing pedagogicalindicators to Canadian norms based on a student survey

► The elementary results for Dorchester Consolidated indicated the school was at or above theCanadian school norms for all 20 indicators, and the middle school results were at or abovethe Canadian school norms for 31 of the 35 indicators. The three indicators that deviated themost negatively from the norms included:§ Student participation in school sports,§ Students with positive relationships at school, and§ Students planning to finish high school.

► The survey results for Salem Elementary was at or above the Canadian school norms for 17of the 20 indicators. Those identified with lower than norms included:§ Students with a positive sense of belonging,§ Students that value schooling outcomes, and§ Feel safe attending school (both onsite and travel to and from school).

► Marshview Middle School (5-8) had a high respondent rate with 163 respondents in total. Thesurvey results for Marshview were near or above the Canadian school norms for 27 of the 35indicators. The three indicators that deviated the most negatively from the norms included:§ Student participation in school clubs,§ Students with positive homework behaviours, and§ Feel safe attending school (both onsite and travel to and from school).*ASD-E Perception Survey- 2015 Report on Student Outcomes and School Climate NB Schools by The Learning Bar Inc., available onhttp://www.gnb.ca/0000/results/district_east.asp.

Review of 10-year planning horizonProjections used for school design in review

Projections for New K-5 School (Based on ASD-E Baragar Software)

Based on ASD-E enrolment projection software results, a newK-5 school for Tantramar Community would be sized for 444students and have 24 classrooms (depending on start time)

§ Enrolment projections made using theBaragar Systems software indicate asteady decline in K-5 student populationduring the 10-year planning horizon.

§ 2022-23 was projected with the moststudents (444) after potential construction.

§ The projected utilization for a new K-5school based on the design of 444students is 76.6%, with 24 classrooms.

§ This is a typically sized K-5 school. ThePlanning Guidelines note a regularelementary school is typically sizedbetween 200 and 500 students.

§ For comparison, based on 2015-16school statistics, GNB had 89 K-5schools; 47 of these schools wereconsidered regular sized schools. Theaverage student enrolment for this sizedschool is 349, with the largest being 627at École Anna-Malenfant.

Project start-upwould depend onDEC and GNBapproval

Note: The school would be designed for the peak enrolment (depending on start time).The utilization would drop to 61% based on 2026-27 enrolment projections of 354students. The District noted that Sackville Schools 2020* have identified that investingin new infrastructure rather than repairing older school buildings would help revitalizetheir community (may be viewed as a potential catalyst for growth to the community).

New K-5 school scenario

Page 16

A Class “D” estimate* of $19.3M to $20.3M would be requiredfor the construction of a new K-5 school, with a costavoidance of $3.2M in deferred maintenance

► Class “D” estimate* for a new K-5 school (444 students) is approximately $19.3M to $20.3M,depending on the cost of land and any topographical challenges.

► The new school is estimated to be 6,798 m2 based on the current EECD Planning Guidelines.► If Dorchester Consolidated School was removed from this scenario, the savings for the new

K-5 school would be small (2% – $435K) compared to the cost with the school included.There would be approximately 162 m2 less in the new school footprint (including one fewerclassroom and small reductions to the size of the library, dining and staff areas).

► EECD Planning Guidelines recommend a site size of 22.5 acres for a K-5 school of444 students (Note: In urban areas, site size may be reduced when land is at a premiumand/or existing community field/facilities are used offsite).

► The cost avoidance for deferred maintenance at the two proposed amalgamated schools wasidentified as $3.2M in the EECD School Physical Plant Status Report.

*Note: Class "D" estimate (± 30%) based on the EECD Planning Guidelines for Educational Facilities, as an estimate for this report only. Estimates will be adjusted whenEECD Infrastructure and project team establish the actual space allocation.

EECD Estimated Savings ForUtility Efficiency:

For a new K-5, the District’s operational costs woulddecrease by approximately $48K (excluding staffing) basedon historical costs for schools of similar size and efficiency► The school footprint would see an increase in net

square metres of 123 m2 for a new K-5 school.► Operational costs (excluding staffing) would

decrease by approximately $5K for the newschool, if based on the historical costs of theschools in scope. However, this isunderestimated when compared toother schools of similar size.

► A review of operating costsfor schools of a similarsize/scale indicates thedecrease would beapproximately $48K (thisaccounts for economy ofscale factors).

Other K-5 options for the elementary feed schools are limitedfor revitalization, due to the deficiency of space to currentguidelines and poor FCI scoring compared to a new school

► High-level estimates were used to determine if an addition could be utilized at one of theexisting schools instead of building a new K-5 school for Tantramar infrastructure revitalization.

► EECD planning “rule of thumb” in determining the tipping point between building a new schoolor renovating an existing school/new addition is when the cost of the deferred maintenanceand new addition exceeds 50% of the cost of a new building. Two of the four scenarios are inthe 40% range, with potential risk to reach 50% from “new discoveries” during the inspectionand or construction phase. Additionally, the Deferred Maintenance List is not all inclusive.

► A business case for a mid-life upgrade of Dorchester Consolidated School to EECD PlanningGuidelines would have poor financial considerations resulting from the FCI rating (0.29) andthe small enrolment and compared to costs for the inclusion in a new K-5 elementary scenario.

► An addition to Salem Elementary School as a K-4 is a potential scenario based on a high-levelestimate. However, there is little room on the property for an addition without a land purchase(or removing the playfield). The plan for the middle-high school would have to change to a5-12 (not a standard school configuration), and this does not address the life-cyclemaintenance costs (existing and future) for Dorchester Consolidated School.

Projections for New 6-12 School (Based on ASD-E Baragar Software)

Based on ASD-E enrolment projection software results, a new6-12 school for Tantramar Community would be sized for 722students and have 31 home rooms (depending on start time)

§ Enrolment projections made using theBaragar Systems software indicate asteady decline in 6-12 student populationafter 2024-25.

§ 2024-25 was projected with the moststudents (722) after potential construction.

§ The projected utilization for a new 6-12school based on the design of 722students is 80.7%, with 31 home rooms.

§ This is within recommended sizing for a6-12 school. The Planning Guidelinesnote a combined school is recommendedwhen enrolment falls below 300 for amiddle school or 500 for a high school. Acombined school is generally favouredover the creation of small schools.

§ For comparison, based on 2015-16school statistics, GNB had ten 6-12schools, with the largest being 624students at École Sainte-Anne.

Project start-upwould depend onDEC and GNBapproval

Note: The school would be designed for the peak enrolment (depending on start time).The utilization would drop to 66% based on 2031-32 enrolment projections of 589students. The District noted that Sackville Schools 2020* have identified that investingin new infrastructure rather than repairing older school buildings would help revitalizetheir community (may be viewed as a potential catalyst for growth to the community).

Page 20

A Class “D” estimate* of $29.3M to $30.3M would be requiredfor the construction of a new 6-12 school, with a costavoidance of $4.5M in deferred maintenance

► Class “D” estimate* for a new 6-12 school (722 students) is approximately $29.3M to $30.3M,depending on the cost of land and any topographical challenges.

► The new school is estimated to be 12,233 m2 based on the current EECD Planning Guidelines.► If Dorchester Consolidated School was removed from this scenario, the savings for the new

6-12 school would be small (1.8% – $501K) compared to the cost with the school included.There would be approximately 218 m2 less in the new school footprint (including one fewer artroom and small reductions to the size of the library, and dining areas).

► EECD Planning Guidelines recommend a site size of 26 acres for a 6-12 school of722 students (Note: In urban areas, site size may be reduced when land is at a premiumand/or existing community field/facilities are used offsite).


*Note: Class "D" estimate (± 30%) based on the EECD Planning Guidelines for Educational Facilities, as an estimate for this report only. Economy of scale has been assumed,with construction costs lowered from $2,690/m2 to $2,300/m2 (as per EECD “rules of thumb”). Estimates will be adjusted when EECD Infrastructure and project team establish

the actual space allocation.

Note: The estimated cost does notinclude space for the SackvilleEducation Centre, the Daycare orthe Wetlands Centre (currently inTantramar Regional High School),which are not in the 6-12 EECDPlanning Guidelines. The Districtnoted that the location of apotential new 6-12 is unknownand/or if the school would belocated too far away from SackvilleWaterfowl Park. It was determinedto leave this space out of the newschool scenario.

Projections for New K-12 School (Based on ASD-E Baragar Software)


Page 25

A Class “D” estimate* of $41.7M to $42.7M would be requiredfor the construction of a new K-12 school, with a costavoidance of $7.7M in deferred maintenance

► Class “D” estimate* for a new K-12 school (1,138 students) is approximately $41.7M to$42.7M, depending on the cost of land and any topographical challenges.

► The new school is estimated to be 18,629 m2 based on the current EECD Planning Guidelines.► If Dorchester Consolidated was removed from this scenario, the savings for the new K-12

school would be 5% ($2.2M) compared to the cost with the school included. There would beapproximately 1,020 m2 less in the new school footprint (two fewer classrooms, art room, multi-purpose gym/ancillary space and small reductions to the size of the library, and dining areas).

► EECD Planning Guidelines recommend a site size of 30 acres for a K-12 school of1,138 students (Note: In urban areas, site size may be reduced when land is at a premiumand/or existing community field/facilities are used offsite).


*Note: Class "D" estimate (± 30%) based on the EECD Planning Guidelines for Educational Facilities, as an estimate for this report only. Economy of scale has been assumed,with construction costs lowered from $2,690/m2 to $2,185/m2 (as per EECD “rules of thumb”). Estimates will be adjusted when EECD Infrastructure and project team establish

the actual space allocation.

Note: The estimated cost does notinclude space for the SackvilleEducation Centre, or the WetlandsCentre (currently in TantramarRegional High School), which arenot in the K-12 EECD PlanningGuidelines. The District noted thatthe location of a potential newK-12 is unknown and/or if theschool would be located too faraway from Sackville WaterfowlPark. It was determined to leavethis space out of the new schoolscenario.

For a new K-12, the District’s operational costs woulddecrease by approximately $399K (excluding staffing) basedon historical costs for schools of similar size and efficiency► The total school footprint would see a decrease in net

square metres of 8,773 m2 for a new K-12 school.

► Operational costs (excluding staffing) woulddecrease by approximately $384K for the newschool if based on the historical costs of theschools in scope. However, this isunderestimated when compared to otherschools of similar size.

► A review of operatingcosts for schools of asimilar size/scale indicatesthe decrease would beapproximately $399K (thisaccounts for economy ofscale factors).

Note: Energy savings adjustment wasnot applied to the larger schoolanalysis, as some of the schools arenew and are designed for energyefficiency.

Schools are not standardized to a typical grade configuration(e.g. K-5/K-8) and there is an overall surplus of pedagogicalspace compared to current EECD Planning Guidelines

► A key component of a long-term infrastructure plan includes providing enough space to meetthe pedagogical needs of the District/community:§ Two schools are not standardized to a typical grade configuration (e.g. K-5, 6-8 or K-8).

Salem Elementary School is K-4 and Marshview Middle School is 5-8.§ EECD Planning Guidelines define Dorchester Consolidated as a small mixed school (less

than 300 students), Marshview as a small middle school (less than 300 students), andTantramar Regional as a small high school (less than 500 students). The Guidelines specifyless supporting space for small schools than for regular sized schools. When combined witha dropping historical enrolment, there is a surplus of space at the middle and high schoolscompared to the Guideline specifications.

§ The elementary schools were built under older guidelines, and there is pedagogical spacethat is missing compared to a modern school (e.g. break-out rooms, Early ChildhoodDevelopment, multi-function rooms, and performing arts). Based on 2016-17 enrolments,Salem Elementary would be 28% larger if constructed to the current Guidelines.
