- Design facilities and provide adequate school space for sufficient flexibility to permit program modification or the introduction of new programs and services. 4. Involve the community, district staff and experts in facilities development. 5. Design economically feasible facilities that meet student educational needs. 6. Seek all possible mechanisms for financing school facilities. 7. Consider the adaptability of school facilities for community use.
The Superintendent of Schools shall be responsible for establishing procedures to implement these goals and shall provide a status report to the board annually.
