§ 16011 School District Master Plans

If a school district wants money from the state, it must write a long‑term master plan that follows proper planning steps.

Key Takeaways

•Districts must make a detailed, long‑range plan before they can get money.
•The plan must cover goals, building use, student numbers, human problems, housing priorities, cooperation with other agencies, and regular updates.
•The state director reviews the plan and reports back to the school board.

Example

A school district asks for extra state funding for new classrooms.

The district has to put together a master plan that says what its education goals are, how its current buildings are being used, how many students it expects in the future, any human‑related problems, how it will fix school‑building issues, how it will work with other local agencies, and how it will keep the plan updated. The plan is then sent to the director, who checks it and tells the school board what to do.

Each school district which desires an apportionment of funds under this chapter shall, unless specifically exempted by the board, prepare a long-range comprehensive master plan for the district prepared in accordance with acceptable planning procedures. Information relating to the following factors should be included in this master plan: (a) A statement of the educational programs and goals of the district in relation to its programs, both current and future. (b) A comprehensive evaluation and report of the utilization of the school facilities now existing in the district. (c) A comprehensive demographic study of the district, as it currently exists and as projected into the future. (d) A policy statement regarding actual or potential human problems. (e) A policy statement as to the priority in which the district proposes to solve its school housing problems. (f) A policy statement regarding cooperation with other local public agencies to achieve total community development. (g) A policy to insure continuous review so that plans will be kept up to date and changing conditions will be reviewed and accommodated by appropriate revision of plans. The director shall review the long-range master plan and project development plan and shall report his or her findings and recommendations thereon to the board.
