What this document actually says
This policy, last revised February 10, 2026, establishes the Board's responsibility for providing safe, healthy school facilities that support education and serve the community. The Board must approve major construction projects, building alterations, site purchases, and facility sales or leases. It requires developing a long-term Facilities Master Plan to guide decisions about when and where to build, how to finance projects, and which architects to hire. The Board can authorize facility use by community groups and may consider property for workforce housing. The Superintendent assesses facility needs, oversees construction contracts, manages the building program, and represents the district in governmental interactions. The policy emphasizes facilities should be compatible with neighborhoods and flexible enough to meet future educational and community needs.
What this means for your family
This policy ensures your children attend safe, well-maintained schools designed to support quality education. It allows community members to use school facilities for approved activities. Major construction or modernization projects are planned long-term through a master plan, which may affect school locations, classroom availability, and district budgets. Families may see new buildings, renovations, or changes in facility use over time.
