Facility Advisory Committee

The District values the input of its stakeholders. Staff, parent, and broad community input will help inform this important community-driven Facility Advisory Committee (FAC) planning process. The District will keep the entire community informed and involved in the planning process as it evolves.

On April 26, 2021, The Board of Education of the School District of Jefferson authorized the creation of an Ad Hoc Facility Advisory Committee (FAC) to be charged with the task of seeking solutions to our District’s facility and site needs. The Committee is also charged to review all pertinent information found in the District’s completed Facilities Assessment. The Board desires the following to be considered by the Committee in making a facility recommendation to the Board of Education for future action:

Options should reflect the District’s mission, vision, beliefs, and commitments
Options should include purposeful spaces to inspire innovative learning, accommodate diverse student needs, and promote collaboration
Options may include new construction, renovations, repurposed spaces, and/or upgrades to empower student learning and success
Options should include spaces for students, staff, parents, and community
Options should be cost-effective for taxpayers, safe, energy-efficient, and adaptable for future use
