Long Term Facilities Plan Working for Student Success: Planning for the Future
Long Term Facilities Plan Working for Student Success: Planning for the Future LONG TERM FACILITIES PLAN Executive Summary OVERVIEW School District No. 35 (Langley) operates elementary schools, middle schools, secondary schools, as well as several other District facilities. PROJECT SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY The Ministry of Education requires approval of a School District Facilities Plan (SDFP) prior to approving Five Year Capital Plans and Project Identification Reports. The project included: enrolment, capacity and utilization analysis; facility condition assessment analysis; vision and strategic facilities planning principles; community consultation, options creation and evaluation; and recommendations. Creating and evaluating options that respond to the Vision Statement and Strategic Facilities Planning Principles, included the following: Boundary Reviews; District program location review; Expansion of existing facilities; total renovation upgrades; Facility replacement; Potential decommissioning of space; Consideration of new District programs and provincial early childhood initiatives; Community appropriate facility use; and Surplus facilities and sites. The intent of a Long Term Facilities Plan is to provide a strategic framework and direction for the school District’s annual review of its Five Year Capital Plan and the District’s proposed capital projects. EVOLVING TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES The District’s total school age headcount enrolment has increased slightly between 2007 and 2011. Certain geographic areas of the District’s enrolment are projected to increase significantly due to increasing pre-school populations and enrolments from new housing developments. The District has growing enrolments in some programs, which is creating over capacity and waiting lists at some school facilities, while also having declining enrolments in some programs. There is an opportunity to review and determine the appropriate number and location of District, Alternate, and Career programs and that the outcome of the review is incorporated into future capital planning.
