I. The History of Creedmoor Elementary School of the Arts (CESA) The current Creedmoor Elementary School of the Arts (CESA) campus was constructed in 1975 in the heart of the City of Creedmoor. The campus at that time consisted of the main building, including the cafeteria and the media center. Then, in 2000, the lower grade level wing was completed, which included classrooms for younger students, music classrooms and a new gymnatorium. Then, in 2005, yet another wing was added, this time consisting of two stories of classrooms designed for students in the upper elementary grade levels. The CESA property is adjacent to the South Granville High School campus, T and located less than two miles away from the GC Hawley Middle School campus, allowing for full K-12 schooling nearly within the city limits of Creedmoor. AF R D The original Creedmoor School was built in 1925 and was in a different location from the current school. 2

A. Enrollment Summary Enrollment at CESA has gradually declined in the last 10 years. In 2011, Tar River Elementary School was constructed and the southern area elementary schools attendance zones were redrawn. Also, in 2014-2015, Creedmoor Elementary School was designated a “Choice School”, which enabled students from other attendance zones to attend the school to participate in a “School of the Arts” program.

T AF Choice Program Impact: R The Choice Program has not had a significant impact on the enrollment of students at Creedmoor Elementary School. For the current 2020-2021 school year, 14 of the 320 students enrolled do not reside in the school’s D attendance zone. The charts below show the breakdown of ‘choice’ students by grade level and the base schools from which they are transferring.

II. Legal Factors: When considering the closure or merger of schools, there are specific statutory requirements that must be observed. First, the Board of Education holds exclusive duty and authority: “It shall be the duty of local boards of education to provide students with the opportunity to receive a sound basic education and to make all policy decisions with that objective in mind, including employment decisions, budget development, and other administrative actions, within their respective local school administrative units, as directed by law.” T N.C.G.S. § 115C-47(1) Furthermore, the Board of Education has specific legal authority when it AF comes to decisions regarding school reorganization: “Local boards of education shall have the power and authority to close or consolidate schools located in the same district . . . whenever and wherever in its judgment the closing or consolidation will better serve the educational R interest of the local school administrative unit or any part of it.” D N.C.G.S. § 115C-72 “Consolidation and Discontinuance of Schools” There are two required steps when considering such reorganization: (1) THE STUDY “In any question involving the closing or consolidation of any public school, the local board of education . . . shall cause a thorough study of such school to be made, having in mind primarily the welfare of the students to be affected by a proposed closing or consolidation . . . “. (2) THE PUBLIC HEARING 8
“Before the entry of any order of closing or consolidation, the local board of education shall provide for a public hearing in regard to such proposed closing or consolidation, at which hearing the public shall be afforded an opportunity to express their views.” A. The Study: The Study must include consideration of: ● Geographic conditions ● Anticipated increase or decrease in school enrollment ● The inconvenience or hardship that might result to the pupils to be affected by such closing or consolidation T ● The cost of providing additional school facilities in the event of such closing or consolidation ● Such other factors as the Board shall consider germane. AF -N.C.G.S. 115C-72(a)(1) Considerations of the Study: ● Will be a public record. R ● May be completed by staff, third party consultants, or (commonly) a combination thereof. ● May be updated or amended after receiving public input. D ● Some elements already included in NCSU study: ● Anticipated enrollment trends ● Facility capacity ● Geographic conditions (attendance zone optimization) B. Public Hearing Requirements: ● Public hearing on specific proposal to close or consolidate a school ● Details like time, location, and length are determined by the 9
Board, in keeping with public meetings law “Upon the basis of the study so made and after such hearing, said board may, in the exercise of its discretion, approve the closing or consolidation proposed.” N.C.G.S. 115C-72(a)(2). III. Factors to Consider in the Study: The following factors will be addressed as required by statute: ● Finance & Budget ● Human Resources T ● Curriculum & Instruction ● Infrastructure AF ● School Culture and Impact on the Community R D 10
III. Factors to Consider A. Finance & Budget Cost of Providing Additional School Facilities: This study as required by law must include the cost of providing additional school facilities in the event of such closing or consolidation. There are no anticipated facility costs as the students currently in the Creedmoor Elementary attendance zone could be accommodated within neighboring elementary school facilities. T Existing Costs and Potential Savings: As additional information for the Board’s consideration, Appendix 1 includes a AF detailed analysis of existing costs for Creedmoor Elementary School and anticipated ongoing costs after a consolidation. The following table is a summary of this analysis: R Creedmoor Elementary School Current Annual Costs and Potential Annual Savings D Total Current Annual Costs $ 4,163,936 Anticipated Ongoing Costs after Consolidation ($3,210,810) Current State Funding for Principal ($108,088) Potential Annual Savings * $ 845,038 * Includes savings for Child Nutrition Fund of $39,119. 11
B. Human Resources Staffing for schools is primarily determined by the Average Daily Membership (ADM) of students. This figure is measured at various points during the school year, and represents the enrollment number for the school. It is different from the attendance rate of pupils, which measures the number of students in the building on any given day. NCDPI allotts teaching positions based on the ADM for day twenty (20) of the academic year. The allotment ratio of students per teacher has varied over the past years depending on state law and policy. Currently NCDPI provides ADM teacher allotments on a new formula which differs by grade T level: Grade Teacher : Student HB 90 AF Allotment Average Class Size Limit (2018-19) K 1 : 19 20 (23 per individual class) R 1 1 : 17 20 (23 per individual class) D 2-3 1 : 18 20 (23 per individual class) 4-8 1 : 24 None These teaching positions are not always used ONLY for classroom teacher positions, and are sometimes included in the staffing of elective teachers. HB 90, class size reduction phase in, provides limits on class size beginning 2017-2018 school year, and then gradually lowers that number for each consecutive year, while simultaneously providing “program enhancement” teacher funding for elective positions. 12
Creedmoor Elementary currently has (17) classroom teachers for six (6) grade levels K-5. They also have one (1) PE teacher, one (1) Music Teacher, (1) Art Teacher, (1) Reading Teacher ,and a contracted professional Dance Instructor that serves students 1 day per week. This is a total of 21 teachers.

Any staffing outside of the state allotment for ADM, Program Enhancement, AIG, ESL, Pre-Kindergarten, and ECP are R paid for using local dollars or a separate state or federal budget source. Administrative or non-instructional staffing, while also based in part on ADM, D is calculated and allocated differently, depending on the type of position: Principal: NCDPI provides one (1) principal position for each school. Funding for this position is the base salary only, and does not include salary differential, which must be paid locally. CESA has one (1) principal assigned to the school 14
Assistant Principal: NCDPI provides one (1) assistant principal (AP) position for every 985 students. This allotment is given to the district as a whole. The school district supplements AP staffing with local funds to extend this ratio as needed. CESA has one (1) AP position assigned to the school. Counselor: NCDPI provides one (1) instructional support position for every 211 students. Instructional support includes counselors, nurses, social workers and media coordinators. The school district supplements counselor staffing with local T funds to extend this ratio as needed. CESA currently has one (1) school counselor. AF Other Certified Support Staff: CESA has one (1) Reading Teacher. This position is covered by Title I funds. School-Based Classified Staff: R School-based classified staff, which usually include teacher assistants, office staff (Bookkeepers, Data Managers, Receptionists), custodians and Deans of D Students are allotted based on the overall ADM of the district. Generally speaking, school districts are not allotted enough school-based classified positions to fill all needed positions. CESA has one (1) Receptionist. The closure of CESA would allow this position to be included in cost savings for personnel, as allowed through attrition of staff across the district. CESA has one (1) Data Manager. The closure of CESA would allow this position to be included in cost savings for personnel, as allowed through 15
attrition of staff across the district. CESA has one (.6) part-time Bookkeeper. The closure of CESA would allow this position to be included in cost savings for personnel, as allowed through attrition of staff across the district. CESA has two (3) Custodians. The closure of CESA would allow both positions to be included in cost savings for personnel, as allowed through attrition of staff across the district. T AF R D 16
C. Curriculum & Instruction: As stated previously, CESA has 17 classroom teachers, plus one Reading teacher, and three elective teachers (Physical Education, Music, and Art.) Additionally, there are three Exceptional Children’s teachers, two of which teach in the EC Self-Contained classrooms and a part-time ESL teacher to serve students who require specially designed instruction (see Table 1 for the number of students served.) The school also has one Pre-Kindergarten teacher. In addition to the certified teachers, CESA has a professional dance school instructor who teaches dance.

The second battery of testing for 4th-grade students and the screening process for current D 3rd-grade students will occur when students return to in-person instruction. All GCPS elementary schools have access to the same core curriculum and assessment resources, resulting in consistent content from school to school. As in any school district, instructional style and delivery vary from school to school and classroom to classroom. Professional Development support varies by teacher and school depending on the need. CESA has continued to improve academic performance over the past six years and has met growth for the last five years, as evidenced in the data found in Table 2. (NCDPI, 2019) 17

The school was among the first schools to implement a choice program. The R secondary schools in CESA feeder pattern have strong arts programs and the school’s focus on the arts provides a natural progression to those schools. CESA is a member of the A+ Schools of North Carolina and D according to their website (A+ Schools of North Carolina, n.d.), “A+ Schools of North Carolina is a whole-school transformation model that views the arts as fundamental to teaching and learning. Our schools develop a creative culture in which the state's mandated curriculum is taught through collaboration and multi-discipline integration, with the arts continuously woven into every child's learning experience. Established in North Carolina in 1995, A+ Schools is a signature program of the North Carolina Arts Council. A+ is the longest-running, arts-based whole-school reform model in the nation.” 18
Teachers and administrators receive professional development from A+ Schools, NC. The professional development helps teachers incorporate tenets of the arts into their daily lessons. Although the Arts Program has been in place several years, it has not attracted many students from outside of the school’s attendance zone. Merging/Implementing Choice Program at another school The A+ Schools program can be replicated/moved to another school. Implementation at another school requires the school to apply, and once approved, the school will become a member of the A+ School Network. The school staff will be required to undergo the initial 5-day professional T development provided by the A+ School Network. The professional development cost depends on the number of staff members, but there are AF possible grant opportunities available through A+ Schools to offset the training cost (2019-2020 cost for 27 staff members was $5,000; school requested and received funding for the full amount from the A+ School Network). There is no recurring cost for the district, including training for new teachers and ongoing training for administrators and select staff members. R A+ Schools pay expenses associated with the training, substitute teachers, travel, and lodging (if needed). D 19
D. Infrastructure & Operations Facility: The CESA school campus has 81,892 square feet of indoor space sitting on 19.64 acres. Currently, there are four (7) vacant classrooms at CESA Elementary School as well as other classrooms on the campus that are used for non-classroom educational activities. The students who currently attend CESA could be reassigned across the other four existing southern area elementary schools. The distance between CESA and these schools are as follows: ● CESA to MTES - 2.6 miles T ● CESA to TRES - 7.3 miles ● CESA to Wilton - 6.5 miles AF ● CESA to BSES - 6.1 miles The available ‘surplus’ capacity at these schools is listed in the chart below. R School 2020-2021 Optimal Surplus 20-day Capacity Capacity Enrollment D BSES 420 605 185 MTES 391 694 303 TRES 354 573 219 WILTON 260 452 192 An analysis conducted by OREd in 2018 of the demographics of elementary-aged children in the attendance zone for this school show a projected net growth of forty (40) additional students during the ten-year period from 2017-18 through 2027-28. This information is provided in the 20
out-of-capacity table below which was part of their official report to our Board on August 20, 2018. Note that the 2017-2018 capacity figures cited in the OREd report were based on formulas that have since been modified to provide “optimal” capacity which more accurately reflects the educational needs of our schools. T AF R D Capital Outlay Needs: The CESA campus has received extensive upgrades to its facilities in the past two years. In the summer of 2018, the HVAC was renovated at a cost of $1.2 million. This was funded through a capital improvements allocation from the Granville County Commissioners in response to the prevalence of mold on that campus which forced the school to close during the first week of 21
school in August of 2017. CESA has also had major roof replacements and renovations on nearly every building on the campus during the summer of 2020 at a cost of nearly $1 million, again, funded through special funds provided by the county. CESA currently has more than $1.05 million of critical capital outlay needs within the next 5 years. Of this, $650 thousand is miscellaneous upgrades to windows, doors, locks, painting, flooring and bathroom upgrades. Driveway asphalt will also need repairs and resurfacing during this time. Two HVAC chillers will be near end-of-life by year 5 at a cost of $250 thousand. The critical capital outlay over 10 years is $1.3 million. Overall, the major systems of the facility are in sound, working condition and the facility is no longer in T the critical state it was in when air quality became a major concern in 2017. AF The most recent air quality testing conducted by a third party laboratory on May 20, 2020, “did not show a fungal amplification or an altered indoor fungal ecology” on the campus. Nearly all relative humidity readings were also in the desirable/optimal 45-55% range (outside humidity was 80%). R D 22
Value of Property: According to the current Granville County tax appraisal card, the total value of the property is $4,924,825. No official property appraisal from a third party has been conducted. T AF R D Transportation: In September of the 2019-2020 academic year, prior to the pandemic, CESA elementary school ran five (5) school buses which served approximately 220 students. These five buses travelled 151 miles and were on the road for 8.3 hours, total, per day. If CESA were closed, there are multiple scenarios for how new attendance 23
lines could be drawn. The current CESA attendance zone could be absorbed through excess capacity at BSES and MTES, or all southern area attendance zones could be redrawn to evenly distribute students across all four remaining schools. Refer to the maps below for existing attendance zones: T AF R D In order to determine a full, detailed and accurate understanding of potential financial impact on transportation, additional analysis would need to occur depending on where the attendance lines would be drawn. 24
T AF ENLARGED MAP OF SOUTHERN AREA ATTENDANCE ZONES R The above enlarged map shows the approximate locations of each school D within their current attendance zone. If CESA were closed, new attendance zones could be redesigned in one of two ways: 1. CESA attendance zone (purple) could either be absorbed by the two adjacent remaining elementary schools - BSES (blue) , and MTES (green), OR, 2. The southern elementary school attendance zones could be redrawn to evenly distribute among the four remaining elementary schools. 25
Scenario #2 would likely be the most efficient and result in the greatest potential cost savings by reducing the total number of school buses which serve the southern area elementary schools. School choice availability in all of our elementary schools should be considered as a factor for redrawing attendance zones as well. This would be done with technical assistance and in consultation with the Institute for Transportation Research and Education (ITRE) at NCSU. Child Nutrition: Currently, there are four (4) full time child nutrition staff members assigned to Creedmoor Elementary for an annual cost of $119,418. In consultation with the Child Nutrition Director, it has been determined that if CESA were closed, T the manager position could be eliminated and the remaining three positions would need to “follow the children” and be transferred to the assigned school. AF Increasing student capacity at the other schools would create additional pressure on making sure lunches could be served in the same size kitchen and cafeteria space. The total estimated savings is $39,119. Plans are being made to handle CN staffing reductions through attrition.

E. School Culture and Impact on the Community CESA has a proud history and active alumnae in the community. It is considered a neighborhood ‘city school’ because of its central location in the City of Creedmoor. An analysis by OREd of the demographics of elementary-aged children in the attendance zone for this school shows a projected net growth of forty (40) additional students in the next ten (10) years. Data regarding school culture and community impact are qualitative in nature and difficult to measure in charts and numbers. There are some indications T that enrollment will increase in the foreseeable future, and would therefore indicate that the school could expect to maintain its enrollment. AF F. SUMMARY Based on the information and data presented in this study, the closure of CESA and the merger of students to neighboring southern area elementary R schools may accomplish the following: D 1. Provide a potential cost savings to the school district; 2. Increase efficiency of staffing; 3. Provide potential increases in academic opportunity for students; 4. Incur minimal or no cost related to facilities; 5. Impact school culture and the community in a variety of manners. 27
G. TIMELINE CONSIDERATIONS The potential decision of the Granville County School Board to close CESA and transfer these students to neighboring elementary schools would require significant effort to implement. Extensive planning at the school and district level would need to occur in order to facilitate a smooth transition for students, parents and employees. Part of this process includes providing adequate time to assess the work, plan action steps, and execute the decision. Below is a timeline that has been developed based on the goal of starting the 2021-2022 school year with all CESA students transferred to neighboring elementary schools: T Time Action Step AF October 19, 2020 Special Called Meeting November Date TBD 2020 Hold Public Hearing/Community Forum R November Date TBD 2020 Special Called Meeting Finalize Decision and determine plan for redrawing attendance zones D December 2020 Create and Communicate Transition Plan to Stakeholders January - July 2021 Plan Staffing, finalize schedules, move furniture, prepare for opening of school 28
