Programming Documents for Pre-K for SA - The City of San Antonio

• Currently there are no standards for education technology at City facilities.
• Kevin Goodwin noted that it would be good to understand what types of
subscriptions and software applications may be required by the instructors in
the library, training and classroom components.
• Jeff Kauffmann stated that it is very early in the process and that the
administration and staff who will be able to make these decisions
have not yet been recruited.
• A meeting is currently in the process of being scheduled, by Rebecca
Flores in the City Manager’s office, with local teachers to discuss the
preliminary space program and adjacencies. Kevin Goodwin stated
that he would like to be involved at this meeting (tentatively
scheduled for 8/8).
• Derek Rabey will be the security consultant for this project. Mike Walker
will coordinate a meeting with him regarding this project and the security
requirements.
• Mr. Rabey will assist the program and design team with identifying
the requirements / location of security components in these facilities.
Items to discuss will include electronic locks, prox cards, CCTV,
intrusion alarms, panic buttons, etc.
• Mr. Rabey will also assist in determining the location of security
cameras.
• RFID bracelets were discussed briefly as a potential method for
tracking/controlling the movement of the children within the
building.
• Jeff Kauffmann briefly discussed the schedule for these projects. Money has
been set aside for the construction of the facilities. The voters will vote in
November on whether or not to increase the sales tax which would pay for
the maintenance and operations. If the ballot passes, construction will begin
in January 2013. It will be essential that as much of the ITSD design
guidelines as possible are included in the program document and available to
the architect and developer when the document is handed over at the end of
August.
• Next Steps
• Mike Etienne is to contact the real estate broker to arrange for a
walk-thru of the Southwest Airlines building with ITSD.
• Razi Hosseini will schedule a meeting early next week with Debra
Dockery to discuss the preliminary program information,
adjacencies, etc. in advance of the meetings on 8/8 with Peter Zanoni
and the local ISD teachers. Meeting will include FP&C, Jeff
Kauffmann, Bill Hensley, and ITSD.
