To who it may concern. This is Shawn. I f...Whom. To who it may concern. This is Shawn. I found out about this elementary school through a friend of mine. From what I can gather online. Is they are building a new Austin Elementary School that is supposed to open up in December of 2019. Here's what I want to do. I am 41 years of age, and have autism. I would love to purchase the old Austin Elementary School from the park, or who ever owns it if the price is reasonable. I want to reuse the current building as it stands, no demolishing of what so ever as I love the current style of the building. It looks like it dates back to the early 1970's which I like stuff from the 70's. I would venture to say this building is built rock solid as most of the older ones were. Compared to today's buildings they throw them up. I also see this is one level which is what I want especially for people in wheelchairs. Here's what I would want to do to this elementary school. I want to re purpose it into a group home for autistic disabled adults. I would re purpose all the classrooms into individual client rooms. Each room would have a small kitchenette, and possibly a small bathroom that consists of a toilet, sink, and shower. I don't live in the Georgia area, but I am looking at possibilities of pursuing my dream of doing this, and willing to relocate. I miss my school days, and to purchase, and own a building like this, and use it to help the community would be a dream come true. Also I can look into getting government grants to get things started such as the remodeling of the classrooms. The gym would stay, the caffetteria as well. The Gym can be a place for the clients to hang out, and socialize, play basketball, watch a movie on a big screen ect. Caffetteria would be used to serve the breakfast lunch, and dinner to clients as well. I assume this school has a clinic as most schools have a nurse on staff so the clinic would be useful to clients in need also can be use as a medication dispensery for some clients as well. I was thinking the library can serve as a training, and hiring room for people looking to work for me. Also the music room or art room can be used as a laundry room fitted with washers, and dryers so clients clothes can be washed, and any clients that are capable of doing their own laundry are also welcome to do so. Also would include WiFi access through out the whole building for the clients, and my staff. Me. I can do lots as well. I am great with electrical, and HVAC so I would be doing all the repairs, and maintenance on all the HVAC, Lighting, Ect, as well as doing grounds maintenance such as cutting the grass, salting the sidewalks, and parking lot, and shoveling the snow off the parking lot, and walks in the winter time. Also I assume there is a central intercom system, which would be great for visitor's so if someone comes to visit a particular client, all one in the office would have to do is page that clients room telling them they have a visitor up front, and the client can either accept or decline over the PA system rather he or she wants to see the visitor. The building would be a safe haven for the clients. Anyway. I hope someone of high authority sees this post, and can get in touch with me, as I am very interested in possibly purchasing this building. I'd love to see the inside after the school closes. Would give me better inside to what I would need to do to make this work. Thanks. Shawn.
