Sequim School District

Background:

The Board of Directors and the Superintendent are now exploring long-range facilities planning. Currently, Sequim School District’s Capital Project Levy is providing for the completion of several campus projects including but not limited to: HVAC, ADA, roofing, safety, and building modernization. The Capital Levy is due to expire December 31, 2025. In light of this expiration, the Sequim School District is establishing a Long-Range Facilities Planning Group (LRFPG) to assist with creating a district-wide long-range facilities plan. Effective long-range planning involves a balance between maintaining existing structures and strategically investing in future improvements.

Duties of LRFPG:

Review Building Assessments:

• Review Assessment of the condition of existing school buildings
• Collaborate with experts to evaluate structural integrity, safety and functionality
• Document findings and prioritize necessary repairs or upgrades

Building Condition Reports:

• Review comprehensive reports detailing the condition of each facility
• Review information on infrastructure, HVAC systems, electrical, plumbing, and other critical components
• Highlight areas requiring immediate attention and those that can be addressed over time

Long-Range Facilities Planning:

• Develop a strategic plan for the district’s facilities over an extended period (e.g., 5-10 years or longer)
• Consider enrollment projections, educational program needs, and community growth
• Identify facility requirements based on anticipated changes

Environmental Considerations:

• Address environmental sustainability and energy efficiency
• Explore renewable energy options, waste reduction, and Eco-friendly practices
• Align facilities planning with environmental goals
