Steps to Prepare for the FY 2022 Medium-term CIP
(for 3-6 years)
12
Projects to Include in Future CIPs
The Next Tier of CIP Priorities• Construct middle and high school seats
• Create security entrances at several schools where the office is not located directly adjacent to the main entrance
• Renovate kitchens at Campbell, Carlin Springs, ASFS and AshlawnNote: Renovation may include kitchen and additional space, kitchen equipment, owner (soft) costs
• Consider funding for the following needs:− Kenmore/Carlin Springs: school bus parking with an emergency exit road to Manchester
St. or 5th Rd. S.− Quincy St. (formerly Buck): for Facilities & Operations shops, moving from the Trades
Center to Quincy St. − Trades Center: for partial demolition, regrading and repaving for the bus fleet− Fields: continuing APS collaboration with the County to upgrade and replace synthetic
turf fields to support school use and recreational programming
13
Projects Proposed for the FY 2021 CIP
Planning and Design for Middle and High School SeatsApprove funding to develop, evaluate and select options to be included as capital projects in the FY 2022 CIP, to be adopted in June 2021, to address:
• Middle school enrollment growth, shaped by the vision in the PreK-12 Instructional Program Pathways (IPP)
• Timelines and phasing to address high school enrollment growth: − Creating the 800 seats at the Career Center and/or at other locations to address
high school enrollment growth− Adding common spaces needed for Arlington Tech and the other programs at the
Career Center
14
Preparing for Future CIPs
To Develop the Medium-term CIP for 3-6 years in 2021, APS will:
• Build out the draft PreK-12 Instructional Program Pathways (IPP) so instruction informs capital project priorities
• Reassess the priorities based on the 2020 10-Year enrollment projections to be published in December 2020
• Include all projects not funded in the FY 2021 CIP, if financially feasible
• Work with Arlington County Government on a process to evaluate specific sites from the County Manager's list of potential sites for school use
• Explore the options using the design studies conducted earlier this year based on the School Board’s CIP direction
15
Questions
• Since the Career Center concept design is not approved, what are our next steps to address secondary capacity?
• What is the role of the PreK-12 Instructional Program Pathways?• What are the School Board’s priorities?
− Identify by June 25, same night at adoption of FY 2021 CIP− Hold a Work Session in late August, Superintendent will present a plan for

All Arlington Public Schools (APS) budget and operations decisions are based on the best information available at the time. Staff and community members are reminded that funding forecasts from Arlington County and the state may change, based on many external factors. Similarly, student enrollment and projections are based on the best available information, but are also subject to change due to employment, housing and other economic factors. For these reasons, APS and the Arlington School Board may adjust future budget allocations, staffing and other operations decisions to reflect the existing community and operating landscape.

Uncertain Budget Situation
Changing Economic Environment Creating Uncertainty in the County• The impact of COVID-19 has significantly reduced Arlington County’s revenues
• The County will not prepare estimates for future years’ revenue at this time− APS and the County both need these estimates to build their 10-year Capital Improvement
Plans (CIP)
• County has a revised multi-phased approach to capital planning− Spring 2020: Short-term FY 2021 CIP− Spring 2021: Medium-term CIP for 3-6 years− Spring 2022: Intent is to return to typical ten-year capital planning process
• The County will submit a short-term proposed FY 2021 CIP in early June which will:− Focus on essential projects and those required under existing agreements or statutory
requirements− Include a limited list of investments, including near-term APS needs
22
Uncertain Budget Situation
Changing and Uncertain Economic Environment Impacts APS Planning• The fluidity of the economic situation has made it impossible to forecast what will
happen next week or next month, let alone next year, even while we continue to experience enrollment growth each year
• While FY 2021 funding is slightly more (0.1%) than that in FY 2020, enrollment estimates for 2020-21 continue to increase
− APS expects to add about 1,100 more students from 2019-20, a 4% increase− This will raise total enrollment to more than 29,100 students
• Additional factor in uncertain environment is that it is not possible at this time to estimate cost escalation for capital projects to be completed in future years
• The FY 2021 APS CIP process will focus on near-term needs
