7005 - Facilities Planning & Development

The Board of Education will provide facilities that will best support and accommodate the educational program and the student population. The Board will concern itself with both short-range and long-range planning and evaluation of facilities.

Any construction and/or renovation projects, including site selection, will be approved by the Board, upon recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools. The Board may establish, at its discretion, a facilities committee to make recommendations regarding the planning and implementation of improvements to district facilities. Architects may be employed by the Board, either for a specific project or on a consultant basis.

The Facilities Committee advises the Board on the planning, development, and improvement of District facilities to best support the educational program and student population. The committee will provide recommendations to ensure all buildings, grounds, and equipment are safe, functional, and well maintained to support optimal learning and working environment for all students and staff. The committee will support long-term planning and budgeting for repairs, preventative maintenance and capital projects.

The administration will share an update annually with the Board of Education on their progress in addressing areas outlined in the 5-year capital improvement plan and a maintenance report as requested.

A maintenance and capital improvement report and equipment replacement schedule will be shared at each facilities committee meeting. This report will contain a list and description of completed projects for the current year and planned projects for the upcoming year.
