The Fairfax County Public School Education Specifications outline a number of program spaces that new or renovated schools shall receive based on a new 950-student facility. One of the challenges the Clifton Elementary School (CES) community faces is the amount of additional square footage, and thus cost, necessary to bring CES into full compliance with the current Educational Specifications. Indications from the FCPS staff/Board are that community support for a facility that DOES NOT meet ALL program spaces may result in lowered construction costs and a greater chance for CES to remain open. Please respond to the survey below to indicate your thoughts on each type of FCPS Educational Specifications space.
The following spaces are considered missing, or deficient by square footage according to the Educational Specifications. Please indicate how critical YOU think it is for each space to be addressed in a possible renovation at CES. Keep in mind, each space addressed will add cost.
