The presentation began with a video presentation and then moved to a PowerPoint presentation. He highlighted the 85% satisfaction rate by parents for student's learning needs being met and providing educational options. The funding to be generated from the referendum will create: safe and secure learning environments, space for growing student populations, solutions for maintaining quality schools and solutions for addressing class size. Specific to Andover, the referendum would designate funding for Andover High School to: remove portable classrooms, add additional classrooms, science improvements, media center improvements, cafeteria expansion, gym expansion, and strength/fitness room expansion. Tax impacts were outlined. Mayor Trude asked about elementary school crowding. Superintendent Law discussed possible solutions. She followed up with a question regarding older schools getting more of the funds. Superintendent Law stated schools with portables will get more dollars and safety issues will be addressed at all schools. He confirmed boundaries may need to be moved to keep class sizes down if the referendum fails. Councilmember Goodrich asked how many years there would be on the operating levy. Superintendent Law confirmed it would be 10 years for the operating levy, and the bond referendum will be at 25 years. Superintendent Law reviewed the approximate attendance at some of the schools at the request of Councilmember Knight. There are 38,000 students total. Anoka -Hennepin is the largest O Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — October 17, 2017 Page 2 school district in the State and 75% of the budget is spent on teachers. Councilmember Bukkila inquired about upgrades for Coon Rapids schools. Superintendent Law indicated at the high school, the offices will be moved by the auditorium to eliminate security challenges. Some upgrades were recently made to Coon Rapids Middle School with a focus on expanding the 70 -seat auditorium and the media center. Councilmember Bukkila asked if improvements come in under budget, then what happens. Superintendent Law responded the district would love to do more than what the funds will allow. The total request is for $249M, which is about $50M per school. He expressed confidence in staying within the budget, but not that there would be funds leftover. Security and space is the main purpose of the funding. The driving force is to add space to keep children going to school in their own neighborhoods. Mayor Trude talked about past issues with boundaries and the desire to have kids going to schools close to their homes. Superintendent Law responded the challenge is provide what is needed and to use the resources well. Mayor Trude emphasized schools are really important to the community and that is one of the main reasons families move to Andover. OCouncilmember Holthus called attention to the fact that the St. Francis School District is having a referendum too and it is about one-third of the amount of the Anoka -Hennepin referendum and it is for maintenance of school buildings.
