City of Santa Ana Project Description maximum of 80 will continue to reside onsite. The Academy's operational staffing will include a total of 72 positions, which include the following personnel: • 41 educational personnel during school hours for full occupancy of Phase 1, • 7 additional educational personnel would be needed during school hours for full occupancy of Phase I1, providing a total of 48 educational staff for operation of the project buildout. • 9 personnel would be onsite overnight year -round for residential staffing, • 15 additional personnel would be onsite during normal business hours year - round. The Academy classes will be arranged in a block schedule, which allows for classes of one hour and fifty minutes in length. The school day begins at 8:00 a.m. and finishes at 3:15 p.m. and consists of core academic classes as well as career - related courses, lunch, and physical education. The administrative support building will be occupied by staff during normal business hours, and the residential buildings will be occupied by staff and students 24 -hours per day. As described above, the residential component of the project will serve up to 80 foster youth in attendance at the Academy. The on- campus residence will be licensed by the State of California Community Care Licensing Division and will adhere to the highest standards of care. The youth will have 24 -hour supervision in a home -like setting. The Academy will partner with an experienced licensed group care provider for the administration of the residential program. Each family unit will be headed by a set of house parents who will each work with the 10 youth under their care. Onsite security is part of the project design and operations. The design of the Academy project provides the ability to secure the entire campus with two large vehicular gates at the north and south entrances to the site, which will prevent vehicle entrance to the campus during non - school hours. There will also be pedestrian gates at the primary entrance points to the campus to allow restricted pedestrian access. Only the visitor parking fronting Fairview Road will be accessible throughout the day and in the evenings. Furthermore, the Academy, in conjunction with Santa Ana police and fire departments, is preparing an emergency preparedness handbook drafted specifically to meet the needs of the school site. This handbook will include emergency response plans for fire, flood, earthquake, terrorist threats, and hostage situations. Access to buildings will be controlled using a key fob system. Key fobs will be programmed specifically for each individual, allowing them access to specific buildings and classrooms based on their employee responsibilities or student status. The entire campus will be equipped with an extensive security camera system that will monitor any illegal or suspicious activity on campus either during school or after hours. Construction Construction of Phase I is anticipated to take approximately 13 months to complete. Construction of Phase Il is anticipated to take 12 months. As listed in Table 2 -3, the project consists of various phases of activities over the construction period. As shown, the estimated maximum number of construction workers onsite at any one time would be 90, which would occur during Phase I construction. All construction staging and storage areas and activities would be located onsite. I ne Acaoemy Charter High School 12 20 Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration 2 -5 tCF 0 June 2011 • 00�
