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

Hold focus group meetings with staff, students,

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.
