Facilities BP 7110(a)

FACILITIES MASTER PLAN

The Board of Education recognizes the importance of long-range planning for school
facilities in order to address changes in student enrollment, teacher housing needs, and
the District's educational program. The Superintendent or designee shall develop, for
Board approval, a master plan for District facilities which describes the District's
anticipated short- and long-term facilities needs and priorities.

Plan Development

The District's Facilities Master Plan shall be based on an assessment of the condition
and adequacy of existing facilities, a projection of future enrollments, and alignment of
facilities with the District's vision for the instructional program.

To solicit broad input into the planning process, the Superintendent or designee may
establish a Facilities Advisory Committee consisting of staff, parents/guardians, and
business, local government, and other community representatives. The Superintendent
or designee shall ensure that the public is informed of the need for construction and
modernization of facilities and of the District's plans for facilities.

At least 45 days prior to completion of any facilities plan that relates to the potential
expansion of existing school sites or the necessity to acquire additional school sites, the
Superintendent or designee shall notify and provide copies of the plan or any relevant
and available information to the planning commission or agency of the city or county
with land use jurisdiction within the District. (Government Code 65352.2)

If the city or county commission or agency requests a meeting, the Superintendent or
designee shall meet with the commission or agency within 15 days following the
notification. Items that the parties may discuss at the meeting include, but are not
limited to, methods of coordinating planning with proposed revitalization efforts and
recreation and park programs, options for new school sites, methods of maximizing the
safety of persons traveling to and from the site, and opportunities for financial
assistance. (Government Code 65352.2)

The master plan shall be regularly reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect
changes in the educational program, existing facilities, finances, or demographic data.

Plan Components

1. A statement of purpose, including District goals, philosophy, and related policies.
