Facility Master Plan Process
Facility Master Plan Phase 1
There are facility data considerations when developing Step 1 of the Facility Master Plan:
- Schools where students live: Analysis of historic enrollment trends, building utilization data and population projections assure schools are located near families.
- Building condition and age: Building age, facility condition, classroom size and maintenance needs are all considered to determine future needs and improvement costs.
- Site size: The physical size of each location’s school grounds was evaluated when considering potential for building expansion, addition of parent pick-up/drop-off lanes, and outdoor learning spaces.
- Financial sustainability: Enrollment drives funding, and current and projected student population trends allow the district to plan for well-staffed, well-resourced schools.
Our Schools Today
WPS is proud of our rich history of educating students for more than 150 years. We have beautiful buildings that are more than 100 years old, newer facilities that were built as part of our 2000 and 2008 bond issues, and others built in-between. The average age of our school buildings is 60 years old. In fact, over the last 50 years, WPS voters have only been asked to approve a facility bond measure three times - the third being the question that will be on the ballot on February 25, 2025. Ongoing maintenance issues become more of a challenge as buildings age and resources are limited.
Below are some of the data we consider and challenges we face with ensuring our school buildings are suitable for our educational priorities.
