> Ms.  Childrey:

> Old Pinewood Elementary is carried in our ten year plan as  an alternate
> location
> for the pre-k center that is currently housed at  Starmount, allowing
> Starmount
> to become an elementary school again. Thus  providing relief for the
> surrounding
> elementary schools. The facility  would have to be renovated to provide
> this use.
> It is not a funded project  at this point, nor is it a part of any existing
> bond
> referendum. So it may  be subject to change based upon our future facility
> needs
> and the County's  ability to continue to fund our building requirements.
> Today
> the Child  Nutrition department uses several rooms as a training site. The
> old 
> Pinewood facility also may serve in the interim as a temporary 
> administrative
> facility, as it did for the South Learning Community  offices several years
> ago.
> We have no immediate plans to use the entire  building prior to its
> ultimate
> renovation as a pre-k center.
>
> Hope  this helps. Should you have additional questions, please contact me.
