Long Range Facilities Master Planning Advisory Committee
The Olympia School District is thankful for those who submitted applications to join the Long Range Facilities Master Planning Advisory Committee and grateful for the willingness and generosity of their time to contribute ideas about our facilities. The district is fortunate to have representation from across the district as well as the community in the applicant pool and a healthy number of individuals ready to engage in the process.
Through outreach and engagement, the district aims to honor school, community and stakeholder input as the Long Range Facilities Planning Advisory Committee works to explore, evaluate, and establish facility priorities that reflect the student's and community's unique character and vision within district boundaries and the surrounding area. Our new 10-year (minimum) master plan will follow OSD Policy 6900 - Facilities Planning.
The committee will include over 40 participants, including school representatives and community members that have committed to attending a series of meetings.
The application process was open to all Olympia School District students, staff, families and community partners. All interested individuals were encouraged to apply. The application process for participating on the committee closed on September 27, 2024, however input from the greater Olympia community will be incorporated throughout the process.
This committee will report recommendations to the Superintendent, who then makes a recommendation to the school board. As such it is not led or sponsored by a board member.
For information about Integrus, who has been selected to guide the committee in developing our Long Range Facilities Master Plan, visit their website.
Please Note: There are a few notable differences between OSD Policy 6900 and the Washington State School Directors’ Association (WSSDA) version. Specifically, the language under the Facility Master Plan section, bullet points B and D.
