Facilities Assessment and Implementation Plan
Caldwell Flores Winters, Inc. is pleased to present the La Habra City School District with a Facilities Assessment and Implementation Plan. The District engaged Caldwell Flores Winters, Inc. to conduct an assessment of existing facilities, to identify the estimated costs of required improvements, and to engage in a school site process to plan and implement proposed upgrades.
The District’s Mission and Vision Statements were used as the catalyst to conduct and design the proposed program. Implementation objectives focused on improving academic achievement, creating transformative change in District classrooms, and ensuring General Fund sustainability for proposed improvements and maintenance. Due to broader demographic factors, enrollment in the District is expected to experience modest declines over the course of the next 5 years. Compounded by the current realities of an era of declining State revenues, enhancing the sustainability of the General Fund is recognized as increasingly important to maintaining and improving classroom instruction. Additionally, expanding the availability of computers and modern classroom technology is increasingly important for children's learning and success. This implementation plan provides an ongoing source of local funding for improved student access to computers and classroom technology so students are better prepared for college and good paying jobs after graduation.
With these objectives in mind, Caldwell Flores Winters, Inc. has initiated a school site planning process that includes an assessment of existing facilities needs. Caldwell Flores Winters, Inc’s team of trained planners and architects has conducted this planning process to identify the key programs, investments, and upgrades necessary to create a progressive educational program that is highly competitive with neighboring Districts in order to maintain and grow average daily attendance and foster improvements in student academic achievement. A proposed plan of phased program implementation has been assembled to further ensure that the District’s goals are met.
Caldwell Flores Winters, Inc. has also prepared an implementation program by which to fund and sequence the construction of the required improvements. A General Obligation Bond is proposed as the major source of funding. The timing of these bond series has been paired with proposed improvements to develop a phasing and sequencing plan for implementation. Specific projects and schedules will need to be developed upon program implementation.
This program provides the analysis, priorities, cost estimates, and funding options to implement a comprehensive facilities program over the next sixteen years. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the La Habra City School District.
