process to identify the needs and aspirations of the community. District staff, community
members, educators and professionals come together in a transparent process to build
an understanding of 21st century program and facility needs, and how these needs
can be tailored to their community and the existing school sites.
+ Holistic Assessment: To build an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses
of existing facilities is essential in developing a baseline to compare costs with the
many needs for the future.
+ Financial Capability: Through the development of a financial plan, all potential
funding resources are identified, along with strategies for reducing operational costs. A
long-term road map is shaped based on capability.
+ The Mission: At the forefront of every decision is the need to inspire students to find
and achieve their highest aspirations. Every aspect of the facilities master planning
process is designed to serve this mission and keep it in balance with design logistics.
At LPA, we see the facilities master plan process as part of a long-term vision for constant improvement,
as well as a campaign for community support of public schools. We know that the most effective way
to achieve this is to bring people together in a spirit of trust, understanding and collaboration.
