Background:
|
MPS initiated a process to develop a Long Range Facilities Master Plan by issuing a Request for Proposal to hire an outside firm to assist the district with the process of developing an updated Plan. On March 29, 2024, the Board approved the professional service contract with Perkins-Eastman to begin the process of developing a new Long Range Facilities Master Plan. This plan provides an in-depth review of how MPS buildings support the learning environment and identifies opportunities to further the work toward advancing the district's goals of academic achievement; student, family, and community engagement; and effective and efficient operations. The scope of work outlined for Perkins-Eastman includes site visits to review and rate the condition of building infrastructure and the educational adequacy of all learning spaces. The review will take into consideration many factors including enrollment trends, program and building capacities, deferred and projected capital maintenance, ADA accessibility, universal design principals, transportation polices, and equity with a focus on neighborhood characteristics such as income, poverty, crime, and minority population. The analysis will include input from stakeholders including students, teachers, parents, district partners, and community members. Input will be obtained through an online survey. In addition to the survey, large scale in person and virtual community engagement sessions will be held in order to gather additional stakeholder input. The large-scale community engagement sessions will be comprised of a series of meetings. Perkins-Eastman will interact with participants at each of the meetings by explaining the goals of the Long Range Facilities Master Plan, asking questions to gain feedback from the community on priorities, and facilitating open discussions for clarity and understanding. The analysis will include data gathering sessions and review meetings with key individuals from all departments within the district to allow Perkins-Eastman to obtain and validate the information needed for a complete analysis in order to develop the Long Range Facilities Master Plan. Once completed, a report with recommendations will be provided in October of 2024 to the Administration. The report will contain details on educational suitability, technology readiness, and building conditions for all schools along with a review of district enrollment and capacity. The information also includes an actionable plan to serve as a roadmap for facility use, classroom modernization, and capital investment. The plan focuses on identifying additional programming, instructional, and partnership opportunities, and provides recommendations for investment or divestment of current building inventory to maximize the use of resources. |
