Facilities Planning School district educational facilities planning enables districts and communities to align their resources to their needs. It also provides an opportunity to create a shared vision for the future, not just of a school building, but of a community. Additionally, when facilities plans are developed in partnership with a broad and diverse set of school and community stakeholders, districts often find innovative ways to meet their programmatic and building needs. Authentic community engagement in school facility planning can also be a catalyst for social capital and increase community participation in local schools.
School facilities require planning at many different levels to meet educational and community purposes. Educational facilities planning is needed for facilities operations, maintenance, and capital projects. Planning PK- 12 public school facilities enables states, districts, and communities to align their resources to their needs, ensure that priorities are met fairly, and that facilities are operated, managed, and built to modern health, safety, educational, and environmental standards.
