Building Exterior
· Roof, walls, fascias, soffits, windows, doors, walkway covers

We like our building!

Building Interior
· Wall and floor finishes, ceilings, doors, door hardware

Building interior is in good shape.

· Heating and air conditioning Air Conditioning is uneven through out the building, Unit drain lines leak in the hall.

· Plumbing (toilets, sprinklers, drinking fountains, etc.)

Acceptable

· Electrical, lighting

Great

· Telephone, intercom, clock, file alarm, security systems

Adequate

· Technology Infrastructure

We need to install a Natural Gas Generator to provide redundant power source at the Technology Center and at the high school to ensure operation of telephones, internet and network backbone.

We also need to provide a redundant fiber connection from the Technology Center to the High School. The most economically fisable way to accomplish this is either wirelessly with towers or by running fiber from the Technology Center to Little Cypress Elementary along Hwy 1130.

Educational Program Needs
· Describe instructional programs or teaching methods which are constrained by or can not be offered because of current facilities.

Instructional Spaces
There follows a list of typical school spaces. Please note any specific issues related to these spaces not included in the more general topics above. Please identify (name or number) the specific rooms.

· LCM Education Center - This is a mutlipurpose room that is used by Special Programs as a conference room, as a Distance Learning Center and as a location for in district staff develpment.

While there is wireless acess in this room, the bandwidth is not sufficient to conduct training that requires internet access, downloads or power for computers. We must run extension cords across the room.
