Lockerman Middle School Plans
In the summer of 2024, the Board of Education approved Lockerman Middle School as the next large construction project for the school system. CCPS contracted with Consultant Dr. David Lever with Educational Facilities Planning, LLC, to oversee the process.
The timeline and other pertinent details will be shared on this page as they become available.
Step One
Early 2025 – Educational Specifications (Ed Specs) Begins
Ed Specs are documents that outline the physical requirements for a school building. They are used by architects, engineers, and educators to design new schools or renovate existing ones.
What are Ed Specs used for?
Design: Specify the size, quantity, and relationships of spaces
Program: Set baseline requirements for new schools, renovations, and additions
Environment: Define functional, spatial, and environmental requirements
February through April - Stakeholder Listening Sessions will be convened to provide input on the Ed Specs, and to provide understanding of community aspirations, opportunities, and concerns. This group will include, but not be limited to:
LMS teacher representatives
LMS family representatives
feeder elementary school families
CCPS administration
county representatives
Lockerman Association representatives
community groups such as NAACP
May - A developing prototype will be presented at a community meeting, followed by a second community meeting to allow for feedback and discuss next steps.
June - Final Ed Specs will be presented at the June Board of Education meeting for Board approval.
Step Two
Once Ed Specs are finalized and approved by the Board, a Feasibility Study is conducted.
A Feasibility Study is an assessment that evaluates whether a proposed school construction project is practical and has the potential to succeed, examining factors like the site, building conditions, student demographics, budget, and regulatory compliance to determine if the project is viable and worth pursuing; it essentially helps a school decide if a new building, renovation, or expansion project is feasible based on various considerations.
