Capital Facilities Planning Initiative

Overview
Central Valley School District has launched a year-long intensive planning process to revise the district's Capital Facilities Plan. School Board members issued a charge to the 18-member Capital Facilities Planning Committee to complete the following work by May 2010:

• Review physical condition of all 24 district buildings (schools and administration)
• Review student enrollment projections
• Forecast construction, expansion and modernization requirements
• Create a list of recommended capital projects over the next six years
• Develop a proposed 25-year long-range construction bond plan, based on district-wide needs assessment

Committee members include industry experts, government officials, principals, staff, parents and community members. The committee is building on the work previously completed by the Facilities Options Committee (October 2007) and Study and Survey Committee (November 2008).
