with no program increase except limited staffing enhancements.

BUILDING EXCELLENCE V (BEX V) CAPITAL LEVY PLANNING

Capital Levy Planning

School Board Policy 6901

Establishes priorities for selection of capital levy projects

• All projects should align with the district’s mission and vision.
• The health, safety and security of students, staff and public are important and

must be protected.

• Capacity Management must be met to assure that the short-, intermediate- and

long-term enrollment are matched with available space, taking into account costs and educational adequacy of facilities.

• Building condition scores for building systems, such as exterior, HVAC,

plumbing, structural shall be considered.

• Educational adequacy of buildings shall be considered, focusing on raising

student achievement.

• Planning will take into account past capital projects and future levy plans.

14

Capital Levy Planning Process
