“I have no interest in looking for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow,” Young said. “I want something real.”

Young has discussed the plan with other board members, he said, and has sent it to school officials, including Kranz. The district, led by Kranz until a new superintendent is named, is in the middle of drafting its own plan.

Kranz was expected to present a draft of the plan at the School Board’s facilities committee meeting last week. A complete plan was not presented, but it is expected to be given to the board in November.

In a statement, Kranz said the administration hopes to have a districtwide facilities plan available “sooner than later,” but added that officials want to make sure the report addresses all facilities needs.

“As we develop this plan, we are working with the School Board members, city officials and other stakeholders to ensure that we are considering all possible options,” Kranz said. “In order to ensure the maximum results for all RPS students, the comprehensive plan must utilize all of the tools that are available to address our aging facilities and capacity needs. As a result of these two factors, the development of a sound, comprehensive plan based on data alone is a challenge to develop.”
