The Ministry of Education requires approval of a School District Facilities Plan (SDFP) prior to approving Five Year Capital Plans and Project Identification Reports.
The Ministry of Education planning and procurement process for Capital Plan submissions requires Boards of Education to develop long-range facilities plans that support capital projects being submitted to the Ministry for capital investment considerations.
These facility plans must identify capital requirements for school expansion and consolidation, school replacement or upgrades on building condition, seismic vulnerability and ongoing maintenance / life-cycle costs, as well as any new government initiatives.
The School District therefore requires a comprehensive long-term facilities plan that provides rationale for specific capital projects that may be proposed as part of the School District’s Five-Year Capital Plan.
