Facilities Master Plan

Welcome

The Facilities Master Plan was designed for the primary purpose of creating an efficient use of school facilities that allows programs and resources to be aligned in a way that most benefits the education of students.

Since Phase One of the FMP process began last November, more than 1400 stakeholders from every area of the city have participated in community meetings, provided feedback and aided the District in identifying a list of "must haves" for schools.

To access the District's complete list of recommendations and review the FMP presentation to the SRC on November 2nd, click here.
