Rationale: Since June 2024, the District has undertaken a comprehensive Facilities Master Planning (FMP) process to assess the physical condition, educational adequacy, and long-term capacity needs of its facilities. The purpose of the FMP is to inform capital planning decisions by establishing a data-driven, prioritized roadmap for facilities investments over the next 8 to 10 years. This process has been guided by an integrated planning framework that includes: Facility Condition Assessments (FCA): Detailed evaluations of infrastructure systems, building components, and site conditions across all 15 school campuses and support facilities. Demographic and Enrollment Projections: Enrollment forecasts through 2030 were developed in collaboration with a demographer to evaluate space needs and inform long-range capacity planning. Educational Adequacy Reviews: Analysis of existing learning environments against the District’s Educational Specifications and 21st-century instructional models, including factors such as classroom configuration, technology readiness, and support spaces. Stakeholder Engagement: Structured input gathered through community town halls, school site committee meetings, stakeholder interviews, staff surveys, and site walkthroughs, ensuring the plan reflects local priorities and programmatic needs. Financial Alignment: Coordination of project planning with available and anticipated funding sources, including Measure S bond funds, state facility program eligibility, and local developer fees. The resulting draft FMP serves as a strategic framework to guide project prioritization, inform capital allocation, and support the implementation of equitable and future-ready facilities across the District. Purpose of the Study Session: The study session provides the Board with an opportunity to review and provide feedback on major elements of the Draft FMP before it is finalized. Topics for discussion will include: Summary of Key Findings : Current facility conditions and identified deficiencies District-wide facilities needs compared to available funding Community and Stakeholder Input Summary: Key themes and priorities raised during outreach Summary of feedback by stakeholder group Project Prioritization Criteria: Review of Indicators of Quality (IoQ) rubric and sample project scores for input and alignment with feedback and priorities Input on areas of highest need across the District Review of Draft FMP sections: High-Level review of each school site's FMP section Estimated costs and potential phasing strategies Board questions and feedback Next Steps: Incorporate Board feedback into the Draft Facilities Master Plan Finalize the FMP for anticipated Board adoption at the May 14 regular meeting Begin developing implementation strategies, timelines, and project delivery plans Financial Impact: There is no immediate financial impact. However, the Facilities Master Plan will guide the prioritization and allocation of funds from Measure S and other local and state capital resources.
