Revised LRMP Plan
Following the survey in June, the Long Range Master Plan Team reviewed the initial plans and developed a list of priority strategies to reduce the plan’s overall cost. Those strategies included deferring capital replacement projects to operational budgets over the next six to eight years and deferring or eliminating projects that do not compromise the District’s overall goals. By using these strategies, the team was able to reduce the estimated cost which decreases the property tax impact on district residents and businesses.
The reduced-cost plan, as presented to the School Board on June 20, still addresses growth from projected new enrollments and places emphasis on career-oriented education, especially in science, technology, engineering, art and math, in addition to enhanced safety and security items. The revised plan does not include regular, on-going facility maintenance projects; the district remains committed to living within its annual operating budget for those items.
