DLR Group, an Overland Park consulting company hired by the district, will present elementary and junior high school master plan options to the school board.

Options aren’t set in stone, and the school board will likely choose a combination of actions contained in the seven concepts for elementary schools and three ideas for junior highs.

Each has its own name, with the elementary options identified by names of fruits or vegetables; the junior high options are named for animals and insects.

The costs associated with each are ballpark estimates, said Scott Morgan, school board president. It assumes all schools not closed would undergo renovation or addition.

Elementary options:

Apple, $40.7 million, is the “baseline” model. It would upgrade all 18 elementary schools to meet the board’s baseline standards. All portables would be eliminated.

Berry, $30.8 million, is considered the “school group” model. East Heights, Centennial and Riverside schools would be closed, but all students from these schools would be moved together to other elementary schools.

Cherry, $32.5 million, or “neighborhood” model. It would consolidate Centennial, New York and Riverside schools. Students would be assigned to other schools based on neighborhood groupings.

Date, $47.5 million, is the “elementary replacement” model. Cordley, New York and Riverside schools would be consolidated. Three new elementary schools would be built in the core of the city to replace these buildings.

Eggplant, $29.5 million, or the “super efficiency” model. Five schools Broken Arrow, Cordley, East Heights, New York and Riverside schools would be closed. These children would be absorbed by the remaining 13 schools.

Fig, $41.7 million, known as the “grade reorganization” concept. All schools would remain open. Schools would switch to a kindergarten through third grade and fourth grade through sixth grade format.

Grape, $34.8 million, is the “district” growth model. Centennial, Kennedy, New York and Riverside schools would be closed. New schools in population growth areas would be built.

Junior high options:

Ant, $23.5 million, is the “baseline” plan. It makes improvements to all four junior high schools to meet the district’s educational standards.

Bear, $36.8 million, would replace Central and South junior high schools with new buildings.

Cat, $37.7 million, would make Central the district’s new administration building, construct a new junior high school in northwest Lawrence and replace South with a new building.
