A- 41 Introduction The Educational Facilities Master Plan (EFMP) is a long-range (ten year) planning document that is produced annually. Within the document are analyses of Washington County communities, the physical and functional state of each school facility, and student enrollment trends. This data is then used to create a plan for facilities that meets the needs of Washington County Public Schools (WCPS). This plan helps inform the public, and various county and municipal officials, about the short- and long-range needs for school facility improvements, including the prioritization of the identified needs. The approved plan is sent to the Maryland Department of Planning for review and comment. Implementation of the plan is accomplished through the subsequent development of an annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP) request for funding which mirrors the plan set forth in the EFMP, and is submitted to both the county and state governments for project funding approval. The CIP request includes both the current funding year, as well as the next five (state) to ten (local) years of estimated funding needed to accomplish the master plan. This 2021 EFMP has also taken into account the impact of limited local funding by focusing on systemic renovation projects such as roof, boiler, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning replacements. The plan is developed in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Maryland Public School Construction Program’s Administrative Procedures Guide (COMAR 14.39) and contains the following chapters: Chapter 1 – Goals, Standards, and Guidelines: This chapter details Board of Education of Washington County policies, regulations, and procedures that have an impact on, and which are vital to, the understanding of the facility needs of WCPS. Chapter 2 – Community Analysis: This chapter investigates various demographic, economic, and land development trends in each of the seven high school educational service areas in Washington County. Chapter 3 – Inventory and Evaluation: This chapter details the current conditions and status of the existing inventory of school facilities. Detailed within this section are school capacities, ages, and descriptions of major mechanical, electrical, life safety, and building envelope systems. An assessment of the physical and functional condition of each school is included. Chapter 4 – Enrollment Data: This chapter discusses ten-year enrollment projections on a countywide and school-by-school basis. Chapter 5 – Facility Needs Analysis: This chapter uses the information presented in the first four chapters to form a master plan of facility needs for the next ten years. A calendar of large capital projects is included, as well as lists of the major and systemic Introduction, Basic Parameters, and Assumptions 1 renovation projects proposed for the next ten fiscal years. The information in Chapter 5 will be used
