Four Elements of a Facilities Plan

  • We often use the analogy of a four-legged stool in which the seat represents the facilities, and that seat is supported by four legs of equal importance. The legs include:

    • Educational Framework: Curriculum, Programs, Delivery Models, and Policy
    • Demographics: Enrollment and the data that impact enrollment
    • Condition: Physical Condition and Educational Suitability
    • Funding: Ability to fund and sources of funding

    Though one of the legs of the stool often necessitates the call for a plan, each of these legs carries an equal amount of importance when developing a facilities master plan. Add the element of community and stakeholder involvement that reflects the culture and values of Atlanta Public Schools and that sets the foundation for a successful planning process.
