Maintenance Plan
The Superintendent will develop a comprehensive program to ensure proper maintenance of all District-owned real property. All buildings and surrounding property will be maintained and inspected by the Superintendent on an ongoing basis.
All records pertaining to District-wide maintenance costs shall be filed in the central office. To the extent possible, a cost analysis of existing and proposed maintenance programs will be developed by the Superintendent.
Facilities Development Goals
The Board will endeavor to provide the best facilities possible within financial resources available to meet the educational needs of the District's scholars and to satisfy long-term sustainability goals of the community at large. Such efforts will not only encompass new construction and expansion when deemed necessary, but also renovation and remodeling of existing facilities to serve specific educational needs of specific groups of scholars. It is also necessary, in declining enrollment periods, to determine how facilities may be used and/or the interim use of facilities not needed at a given time.
The Board and the Superintendent will, at all times, keep in mind the future building needs of the District and give due consideration to the acquisition of school sites well in advance of need. Decisions pertaining to the acquisition, planning, construction, renovation, and elimination of educational facilities will be made only after sufficient attempts have been made to consider the viewpoints and needs of scholars, staff, parents/guardians, and taxpayers.
In determining facility needs and/or elimination of facilities, priority will be given to plans that benefit the largest number of scholars in the District and take into consideration important matters such as safety, equal opportunity for scholars enrolled, and the economic implications to the District. A facilities use report shall be presented to the Board annually (may be in conjunction with the annual energy report).
