Comprehensive Facilities Plan for Education Funding and Improvement

The purpose of the Facilities Plan is to address the educational infrastructure needs as part of the 2013-16 Strategic Plan and to satisfy state requirements for local boards of education. It identifies critical facility needs for the next five years, ensuring access to state funding, which typically covers 50% of the costs. This plan includes a detailed inventory of existing schools, organizational patterns, capacity limits, and essential renovations. With local funding sources lacking for capital improvements, the plan seeks to secure necessary funding for future educational enhancements.

  2. Why are we doing it? #1: Component of 2013-16 Strategic Plan Addresses instruction, facilities and financing #2: State Requirement Each local board of education shall develop and submit to the State Board of Education for approval once every five years a facilities plan that identifies the system's facility needs for the ensuing five years. Why is it important? If it isn’t in the 2014-19 Facilities Plan, we don’t earn state entitlement for it (typically 50% of funding is from the state). Note: Not all needs in the plan will be funded. FCS does not have a current local funding source for capital improvements (painting, flooring, etc). The current SPLOST funds are making payments on Bonds used for prior capital improvements.
