Mission

Beginning in April 2023, the Long-Range Planning Committee (LRPC) will serve in an advisory role to guide the district and ensure alignment with the Strategic Plan by:

  • utilizing the 10-year plan as a framework
  • engaging in shared learning about components and programs involved in long-range planning, and
  • assisting with community education and reciprocal communication strategies regarding long-range planning.

In January 2022, the Long-Range Planning Committee (LRPC) was charged with developing a ten-year facilities plan, focused on student learning and anchored in our core beliefs that take
into consideration the following criteria:

  • student access to learning experiences that interest them
  • facility optimization
  • fiscal responsibility
  • changes in population over time

Ten-year Long-Range Plan (Updated 1/09/2025)

The utilizes a variety of approaches to prioritize fiscal responsibility by maximizing the usage of district facilities through strategic rezoning, optimization of facilities, and repurposing options. The Long-Range Planning Committee will update the 10-year plan annually based on the demographic data and capacity/facility review.
