The FMP was adopted in January 2008 by the Board of Education and updated in 2013. Over 300 FMP projects have been completed over the past eight years. Major projects include construction of four schools, wireless data communications provided to every school site, and major renovations and reconstruction of two schools. Other accomplishments include: • Seismic projects • Building System/Safety Improvements • Reuse/Conversion of schools • Removing portables • Technology upgrades • Access Compliance at various sites • DSA Certification Projects. Supporting the District’s educational endeavor through high quality facilities continues to be the leading goal of the FMP. Based upon Measure K accomplishments, current facilities assessments, community feedback, and recent challenges facing the District, this update recommends the following three Guiding Principles stand at the core of facilities improvements moving forward: 1. Creating learning environments to meet schools for the next generation 2. Renovating and replacing aging infrastructure 3. School safety and security The Measure K $1.2 billion General Obligation Bond funding is not sufficient to meet the District’s facility needs. Additional funding is required to meet the current need estimated at $3.5 billion. A community discussion regarding how to fund this plan is recommended at this time. 5 6/2/2016 9:17 AM A. INTRODUCTION In 2008, Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD or District) adopted a comprehensive Facility Master Plan (FMP). The intent of the FMP is to provide guidance on how LBUSD schools could be renovated and replaced over a 20-25 year period. Development of the FMP involved school planning professionals, engaged educators, parents, and community members. Information was vetted over an 18-month, multi-step process, which included data collection, forming of planning areas and various committees, community dialogues, and Board of Education approval. Measure K, a $1.2 billion General Obligation Bond, was approved by LBUSD voters in November 2008. The FMP is a living document and updates are necessary to ensure its relevance. The 2013 Update confirmed that the implementation of the FMP has been successful with the passage of Measure K and its various Program accomplishments. The Update revisited the Guiding Principles, challenges, recommendations, and the FMP’s alignment with LBUSD’s Strategic Plan. This 2016 FMP Update continues to review the FMP with an emphasis on the ongoing Program challenges as identified in the 2013 Update, specifically LBUSD’s facility needs and funding shortfall. The following report provides up-to-date information on the items below, as well as a report on recent accomplishments. • District Profile • Facility Needs Assessments • Facility Projects Cost Estimate • Community Outreach • Facility Master Plan Funding 1.
