Strategic Facilities Plan

In order to ensure that future Capital Plan submissions to the Ministry of Education and Child Care accurately reflect the priorities and needs of the Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows 蜜桃传媒 District, the board directed staff to update the comprehensive school district Strategic Facilities Plan in consultation with local First Nations, M茅tis community, urban Indigenous organizations, education partners, post-secondary institutions, stakeholders, people with diverse lived experiences, the public, and the two municipalities.

The Strategic Facilities Plan identifies and rationalizes current and future capital requirements for school sites, new schools, and facility upgrades based on building condition, seismic vulnerability and ongoing maintenance/life cycle costs, as well as new education initiatives.

The completed plan provides the critical context for discussions with the municipalities regarding eligible school sites, the Ministry of Education and Child Care regarding high priority project requests, and the community regarding the board鈥檚 vision and priorities surrounding school district facilities.

The Strategic Facilities Plan was created in three steps:

Phase I: Strategic Facilities Review
