SECTION F: FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT For Office Use Only: F_INDEX.CHL (8/01) Page 1 The Board shall review procedures and recommendations for periodically updating the long-range school facilities program. This review will provide guidance for capital outlay expenditures, and will assure that the school district has well-planned school buildings at proper locations when needed and at reasonable costs. The superintendent shall report to the Board annually the status of facilities needed, based on enrollment projections and other factors. Planning for school buildings may be initiated by the Board members upon their recognition of
the need, or possibly upon request by the staff, patrons and/or the superintendent. Principals and
staff shall be consulted during the sketch plan stage and until the final layout is determined.
Building plans for new construction or major structural renovation will be designed in accordance
with seismic design standards if required by law and will comply with requirements for access to
persons with disabilities as required by law. © 2000, Missouri School Boards' Association, Registered in U.S. Copyright Office FILE: FEB In selecting such firm(s), the following criteria will be considered:
