DATA – Facility Condition Index (FCI)

The FCI is calculated as follows:
𝐹𝐶𝐼 = 𝑅𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠/𝐶𝑅𝑉

Example: Total expired system replacement costs (Requirements) = $3,000,000
Current Replacement Value (CRV) = $10,000,000

While a lower FCI indicates a better facility condition, it is important to note there is no 
recognized standard for what constitutes an acceptable or unacceptable FCI. For 
example, the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) indicates that 
building condition is often defined in terms of the FCI as follows:

1. Good ‐ 0% to 5%,
2. Fair ‐ 5% to 10%,
3. Poor ‐ 10% to 30%, and
4. Critical ‐ greater than 30%

This indicates that by 2024, 25 Kanawha County Schools will fall into the “Critical” 
category without investment in maintenance/upgrades.

List
2. Quality and Utilization of KCS Middle Schools is Low (Across the Board)
3. These Issues were Identified in 2010‐2019 CEFP – Few Projects were 
Implemented
2010 – 2019 CEFP:  The Previous Plan

Combines with Dupont Middle School

Construct a New South Charleston‐Dunbar 
Middle School (No longer relevant due to 
investment into Dunbar Middle School –
needs to be addressed in future CEFP).

Options:
Construct a New Capital attendance area 
Middle School (West Side Middle 
School/Horace Mann Middle School)

Construct a New St. Albans attendance 
area Middle School (McKinley Middle

KCS 2020‐2029 CEFP Committee:  CLOSURES (Net: 7 Less Schools)

If fully implemented, the 2020‐2029 CEFP indicates the need for the closure of the 
following schools:

 Cedar Grove Middle School  West Side Middle School
 Chesapeake Elementary School  Horace Mann Middle School
 Marmet Elementary School  McKinley Middle School
 Belle Elementary School  Hayes Middle School
 Malden Elementary School  Cross Lanes Elementary School
 Midland Trail Elementary School  Point Harmony Elementary School
KCS 2020‐2029 CEFP Committee:  FINANCING PLAN

The total investment over the 10‐year period would require $378.8M.  Of that 
amount $249.4M of the proposed improvements would be funded by the Excess 
Levy, $103.4M from the School Building Authority (SBA), and an additional $26M in 
local funds.
