Overview of Planning• Key Insights from ASSESS Phase 1. Flexibility of spaces, daily schedules, annual school calendars and furnishings are desired to

meet changing demographics and annual budgets. Develop new ways to use buildings, schedules and human resources to meet needs.

2. New ways of engaging children and families in early child, pre‐kindergarten programs and other community needs are envisioned

3. District‐wide innovation will create the context for building‐level innovation 4. Rising enrollment in the past five years and the next five years represents a ten year cohort

that is projected to exceed the capacity existing elementary schools by 2017‐18 and middle schools in 2023‐24.

5. The majority of MCPS school sites and facilities are in need of site improvements as well as upgrades to technology, mechanical and electrical systems.

6. The utilization of undeveloped sites, administrative buildings and leased facilities will be integrated into the preferred solutions of the Comprehensive Long Range Facilities Plan

7. Neighborhood identity extends beyond elementary schools and include middle school and high school choices

8. 25% of High School students choose schools that are not in their region 9. What are the budget impacts of our current model in terms of utilities, maintenance and

transportation? 10. The basic site & building assessment (What works? What could be better? What’s missing?)

is needed for the undeveloped sites and leased facilities. 11. What are the encumbrances of the undeveloped sites and leased facilities? What is the

potential revenue? 12. What is the capacity of the existing Missoula College campus adjacent to Sentinel High

School? 13. What is the capacity of our facilities when considering a 21st Century Educational program?

Instructional changes will shift space needs.
