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.
About the Task Force
-
The Facilities Master Plan Community Task Force was assembled to provide valuable input and help shape the future of APS facilities. To ensure comprehensive representation from APS parents, staff, and community members, the task force includes the following: School Representatives (from GO Teams) and Community Representatives (selected by the Atlanta Board of Education).
The intent of this process is to create a comprehensive facilities plan. The facilities plan not only identifies actionable items but sets a vision for the future portfolio of facilities needed to accommodate trends in enrollment/demographics and academic programming and delivery models.
