027-8 Wyo. Code R. §§ 8-4 - Building Needs Schedules

The Commission shall annually evaluate the adequacy of the State's school buildings and facilities and develop two building needs schedules: condition and capacity.

(a) Capacity Schedule. The capacity schedule shall be based on projected capacity, calculated in accordance with this subsection, and the needs identified in accordance with § 5(a) of this Chapter.
(i) The Department shall calculate building capacity and enrollment projections based on the Commission's methodologies incorporated by reference in Chapter 3 § 9(a)(i) and (ii) of these Rules.
(ii) For the purposes of capacity projections, the construction time for capital remedies shall be presumed to be three (3) years, and the Department shall project enrollments over a five (5) year projection period beginning upon the presumed completion of a construction period, in accordance with W.S. 21-15-117(a)(iii).
(iii) The Department shall use the projected enrollments by configuration to calculate an expected rate of change and apply that rate of change to each building in that configuration. This projected enrollment and any studies performed pursuant to § 5 of this Chapter shall be the basis for generating the capacity schedule.
(iv) The Commission may direct the Department to adjust projections in accordance with § 4(d) of the Commission's enrollment projection methodology, as incorporated in Chapter 3 § 9(a)(i) of these Rules.
(b) Condition Schedule. The condition schedule shall be based on FCI score, as calculated in accordance with this subsection, and the needs identified in accordance with § 5(a) of this Chapter.
(i) The Department shall use the FCI calculations from the most recent Facilities Condition Assessment;
(ii) For the purposes of compiling the condition schedule, the Commission shall use FCI scores projected five (5) years from the current year and any studies performed pursuant to § 5 of this Chapter.
(iii) The Commission may include in the condition schedule any school building determined to have a remediation need under Chapter 3 § 8 of these rules.
(c) The Commission shall utilize the results of the most cost-effective remedy studies conducted under § 5 of this Chapter to prioritize the capacity and condition schedules. Needs identified under § 5(a) that have not yet received a most cost-effective remedy study shall not be prioritized but shall be included in the schedule and identified as needing a most cost-effective remedy determination.
(d) The Commission may periodically review and verify needs assessment data and building and facility ratings for condition and capacity to ensure the assessments provide timely and uniform data in accordance with W.S. 21-15-117(a).
