FA - FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT GOALS/PRIORITY OBJECTIVES

As the Board seeks to strengthen and improve school facilities it will strive to provide new and remodeled facilities that will offer the best possible physical environment for learning and teaching.

The Board aims specifically toward:

1. New buildings and renovations that will accommodate and facilitate those new organizational and instructional patterns that support the school system's educational philosophy and instructional goals;
    
2. Meeting current safety and building code requirements through the remodeling of older structures;
    
3. Providing such building renovations as needed to ensure accessibility for all students, staff, and community members with disabilities; and
    
4. Building design and construction that will result in reduced maintenance costs and the conservation of energy. These factors will continue to receive special consideration in all renovation projects.
    

It is the Board's goal to provide the appropriate facilities needed for the number of students in the district and to best support and accommodate the educational program. To support this a five-year district facilities plan will be maintained and updated annually to inform decision making regarding facility needs and actions.

Decisions pertaining to the educational specifications of new buildings and those undergoing extensive remodeling will be developed only after the viewpoints of administrators, teachers, students, parents and community members have been considered.
