 REACTION PAPER #42/ ABORDO’S REPORT- 2RF- 4/17

The topic of maam Abordo is a continuation of the previous report of

maam Bongabong The guides for Planning School Construction Projects in
Minnesota. Accordingly, 1997 report estimates Minnesota needs to spend up
to $4.5 billion to replace or improve its current educational facilities to meet
the needs of its students in the future. This guide, designed to encourage and
guide Minnesota school districts in enhancing student achievement and
school-community partnerships, summarizes changes in laws and regulations
for educational facility funding options and construction project proposals;
highlights some of the latest ideas in planning and designing school sites,
space design, and related issues; and examines essential considerations
when designing middle level and community use/partnership spaces in
schools. Minnesota state regional and local agency procedural requirements
for school construction project review are included. Related issues and
considerations involving the development of partnerships with community
groups, public agencies, and private users; urban and rural schools; school
security; indoor air quality; lighting and electrical systems; and charter and
private schools conclude the guide. Major sources of information are cited at
the end of each part or subpart.

It was emphasized that the guide focuses on facility lease

negotiations, and it is important to consider the overall timeline when planning
for a new facility. There are a number of steps to navigate before a school
opens in the new space. The process could take as little as 10 months to two
years or more owing to factors outside of the lease negotiation: facility
feasibility and space planning, availability of a suitable facility, complexity of
tenant improvements, and whether zoning or land use approval is required.
What follows is a high-level summary of steps from commencement of facility
planning to achieving occupancy.It is hereby declared to be the policy of the
State to safeguard life, health, property, and public welfare, consistent with
the principles of sustainable planning, design, construction, use/ occupancy,
operation, maintenance and management/ administration, in line with sound
management practices for both the natural and built environments. In a co-
location situation where spaces are shared between a school tenant and the
landlord or another tenant it’s important a school tenant not pay for more than
its share of gross rent for occupying common areas or shared spaces. If a
school doesn’t have access to a given room or space on a 24/7 exclusive
basis, it shouldn’t pay for use as such. Rent on shared rooms or spaces
should be based on a school’s percentage shared of use. The same is true for
utilities, custodial, parking lot snow removal, etc. on spaces that are shared;
these charges as part of Gross Rent should reflect a cost based on shared
use. For example, a school tenant’s gross rent (base rent plus utilities and
other occupancy costs) on classrooms also used by a church landlord for its
bible study group one night a week and every Sunday should reflect this
shared use.to this end, the purpose of this Act must be to provide for all
buildings/ structures and their grounds/ sites, a framework of minimum
standards and requirements to regulate and control their location, siting,
planning and design, quality of materials, construction, use/ occupancy,
operation, maintenance and management/ administration.
