The Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District currently has facilities of all shapes and sizes. Over the years, as the district demographic shifted, some schools were closed, some were renovated or added to, and new schools were constructed.
The long term facilities planning process gives school districts the opportunity to identify future facility needs based on the future educational requirements of students and the operational goals of the district.
The terms enrolment, capacity and utilization will be used throughout this report. An explanation of what these mean and how they are calculated is provided in the glossary of terms section.
The school district currently operates 20 elementary and 6 secondary schools. For capital planning, the school district will be presented and analyzed in three Capital Zones – West, Central and East. While the educational programs offered in each zone are similar, the school circumstances in these three zones are very different.
