Facility & Financial Plan

On January 13, 2020, the District’s 10-year Facility and Financial Plan was presented to the Board of Education. This preliminary plan was the culmination of several months of work, guided by the expectations of the Board that we have a facility plan going forward that addresses both new facility needs and support for the buildings that exist in our district.  The Board of Education approved this plan as a framework to move forward on January 27, 2020.

WCSD 10 Year Facility & Financial Plan Presentation

Timberline improvements will include a second competition outdoor athletic facility available for district use.

• Multi-purpose field turf, seating, lighting, concessions, and storage additions

Prairieview improvements will include a comprehensive fitness/weight room comparable to Timberline to support curricular and extracurricular programming such as PE and wrestling needs.

Brookview and Eason Elementary improvements will include providing equity by adding 4-6 rooms at each building. Possible room additions include:

• Band Room
• Computer Lab
• Classrooms: office space, general education, and specialized programming
• Parking additions

VMLC (Vince Meyer Learning Center)- Pre-K and office improvements will include the following:

• 34,000 square foot (20 classrooms) addition to centralize preschool 
• 8,100 square foot addition for IT (Information  Technology) and Community Education Departments
• Demolition of existing IT building and storage

Sugar Creek Elementary will be located in the SW corner of our school district boundary. This will be our seventh elementary school with our standard footprint, however, the footprint has been updated to have more early childhood rooms for future flexibility.

We recognize the need in our community based on current activities and utilization.

• Need to consider free-standing vs. attached to a building
• Building to meet the needs of our curricular and extracurricular activities
• Interested in external partners

The district plans to add a middle-level building that will initially be used for grades 6-7. The district will have the flexibility to use the building as a 6th-8th or 6th-9th grade if needed as we monitor growth in our district.

The timing of this addition will be impacted by student enrollment and meeting the needs of students. 2024 would be the earliest target date to open. The additions would include:

• Consideration for expanded programming related to career and technical education
• Career Center concept to serve our community

The district will have the flexibility to use the building as a 6th-8th or 6th-9th grade if needed as we monitor growth in our district.

The district will need to purchase land for new facilities to keep up with enrollment growth. We anticipate purchasing land as follows:

• Pool and Middle-Level building in 2020
• Middle-Level building in 2021
• Elementary #11 in 2021
• Elementary #12 in 2025

When Waukee Community School District opens a new facility current boundaries are reviewed and adjusted. 6th-9th grade boundaries will be updated in 2022, Elementary boundaries will be updated in 2024.

• The goal is for elementary #11 (Waterford Elementary) and #12 to balance north and south feeder systems
• The district plans to maintain a complete elementary feeder system, this means if you know your elementary school you will know your high school. 
• Because there will be three middle-level buildings feeding two high schools, the middle-level feeder system will be incomplete. This means students in a middle-level building could attend different high schools, but will still follow their elementary feeder system plan.
