Meeting Overview:
The notes provided below are in reference to the progress meeting with the Assistant
City Manager, Peter Zanoni, in his office regarding the Early Childhood Centers of
Excellence proposed by the Mayor’s SA2020 Brainpower Initiative Task Force.
• Peter Zanoni began by stating the original assumption of a 33,000 gsf facility
serving 300-350 students had been edited per a city meeting yesterday (July
18 th ). Mr. Zanoni stated the meeting yesterday outlined:
• Enroll 20 students per class
• The north side and south side facilities shall serve 500 students each
(each site must accommodate this in a current building or have space
to accommodate growth)
• Decide if it is more cost effective to build for 500 students now or
grow the facilities in approx 5 years time. – Stated by others in the
room it would be more cost effective to complete full build-out at
once
• Derrick Farell will provide Mr. Zanoni with a full business plan that
he will pass on to FPC
• Mr. Zanoni suggested we tour Tynan School – A previous SAISD
Elemenatry School now only serving Pre-K Students
• It was stated the overall goal is now to open four centers total instead
of the initially planned eight
• Bryan Sibille provided an overview for the group of what facility
programming will provide Mr. Zanoni and the design architect. It was
explained the first step would be a proposed spacelist for the facility which
would be provided by this Friday (July 20 th ). Mr. Sibille informed Mr.
Zanoni FPC would be following TEA guidelines in our programming efforts
for spaces and requirements. At this point Mr. Zanoni stated this center
