• Realize the master planning process will be running parallel with an operating referendum 
• Determine an approach for each building and the district that satisfies the community 
• Consider all factors during the decision-making process (i.e. academic, financial, and social) 
• Ensure building equity amongst all district schools 
• Maintain manageably-sized schools 
• Reinforce safety and security at all district buildings 
• Consider district ongoing continuous improvement efforts 
• Address short and long-term deferred maintenance items at all schools

The FAC will identify viable facility solutions to present to the community for feedback, which will be narrowed through community engagement sessions with the final options being tested via a community-wide survey.

The Facilities Assessment Report was completed on April 24, 2019, which outlines the deferred maintenance needs to be completed by educational facility consultants CG Schmidt (CGS) and Plunkett Raysich Architects (PRA). 

The consultants reviewed the physical characteristics of each building including the appearance, condition, and current use, in addition to exploring building capacity, educational space adequacy, accessibility standards, and security. The data collected is used to determine the feasibility and cost of space reallocation, developing new spaces, remodeling, consolidation, or expanding the buildings.

The Facilities Advisory Committee (FAC) is charged by the Board of Education with developing a master plan that will guide the investment into district facilities to support future academic programs and create safe and vibrant learning environments. 

This requires the FAC to explore every possible solution taking into account the academic needs, student and staff requirements, condition of existing buildings, and the fiscal challenges facing the district. The FAC will explore all short and long-term solutions based on the Facilities Assessment Report that was completed on April 24, 2019.
