PLANNING WORK COMPLETED

Departmental Meetings

Huckabee facilitated Long Range Planning Discussions with all MISD departments to identify program and instructional needs, new facilities and expansion needs, aging conditions and facility challenges, and equipment and technology needs.

Regular Demographic Projection Updates

MISD receives demographic projection updates from Population and Survey Analysts (PASA) who studies current student locations, potential growth based on new housing, trends occurring in student relocation patterns throughout the District, and economic factors relevant to both the District and the nation.

Internal Maintenance Assessment

MISD Facilities Department completed its own maintenance assessment of all district facilities and documented repair/replacement items to be considered for a facilities plan.

Facility Condition Assessment

Huckabee, engineers and specialty consultants conducted a comprehensive condition assessment in which each observed, recorded and determined the present conditions of the facilities owned and maintained by the district. Outlines deficiencies in each component area and provides basis for ongoing planning for operation and maintenance, as well as provides data to support decisions about additions, renovations or new construction.

Visioning

Visioning is a process to align our facilities with our strategic goals and determine how MISD wants to deliver education for today’s learner. A committee of educators is currently exploring what cultures and experiences it wants our students to have, and then determining the spaces, furniture, tools, technology and equipment we need to achieve that for our students.

Technical Standards & Educational Specifications

Updated the District’s Technical Standards, which establish quality standards and sets baseline for assessment and costs, and are currently working with a diverse committee of district educators to develop updated Educational Specifications, which defines programs to be delivered, facility spaces and functional requirements and instructional tools and equipment.
