Purpose and Goals of the Master Facility Plan


The NAFCS Facility Master Plan is intended to be a "road map" or "guiding light" for the district's development over the next 10 years. The purpose will be to develop a 10-year plan for building renovation, additions, and maintenance projects that coincide with student population projections, curriculum needs, and overall maintenance needs. Staff, community, and School board input will be important to accomplish an effective plan.


Critical portions of the planning will include, but not be limited to, the following:


o   Partner with a K12 Architecture-Engineering firm to work with District leaders to identify current space utilization and future needs based on educational goals.

o   Hold focus group meetings with staff, students, parents and the community for input into the plan.

o   Review of prior plans.

o   Develop a ten (10) year Master Plan with recommendations to:

§  solve problems identified or areas requiring improvement.

§  more effectively and efficiently utilize the existing space in the District, and any actions required to right-size the District including, but not limited to, building renovations, modifications and/or construction, alternative facility usage and configuration with student placement structure to meet future projected population and educational needs.
