6.7. Facility Study
Rationale:
The Blair Community Schools Board of Education has been reviewing district facilities in order to gain an understanding of current and future needs that must be met to support the infrastructure and operational aspects of buildings and facilities. The points below outline of their work thus far:
The purpose of this process is to allow the Board, administration, and architects to discuss each building and the needs for each building. As the process has evolved, three areas were identified to help organize and outline needs. They are:
From May 2014 through November 2015 the Board further defined needs through Work Session discussions and Board meeting discussions. Work on the Facility Plan was slowed from October 2014 to May 2015 in order to shift priority work to budget and finance needs. From July 2015 to the present, the Board has prioritized work on this project and has developed a needs list to be presented to the public for feedback. At this time, the Board has tentatively scheduled January 7, 2016, January 12, 2016, and January 19, 2016 as dates for public feedback sessions. Per prior Board discussion, the administration is requesting formal approval of the facility needs study for public presentation. |
