School Facilities Commission Process Component Review.

Several components of the process to address school district facility needs have been reviewed and modified by the Commission.  This work has been initiated through updated and improved data capabilities and reporting processes, through compliance with statutory review requirements and through a group facilitated discussion process (IBS) with system participants. The school facilities program provides the Commission and the Legislature a mechanism to identify district building needs, to develop a means to address identified needs and a basis to prioritize needs statewide.  From this process, the Commission assembles a budget request to fund remedies addressing prioritized needs.
