Long Term Planning

Jul 24, 2026

The Long-Range Facilities Plan (LRFP) is a strategic framework and source of information for key local decisions with respect to educational programming, enrolment management, and operational goals for facilities. The LRFP is designed to communicate the Board of Education’s vision, relevant and up-to-date information, and ongoing planning processes that advance the strategic goals of the District. As such, the 2021 LRFP has three components:

Vision, Regulatory Requirements, Guiding Principles and Planning assumptions
Base Case and Future Scenarios -Snapshot of District demographics, enrolment, facilities, the progress of the seismic mitigation program, educational programming information and potential future scenarios
Local Planning Studies and Reports

The Board approved a series of 17 recommendations from the draft LRFP on May 29, 2019. The 2020 LRFP was approved by the Board on January 25, 2021. There was an update on the 2020 LRFP presented to the Facilities Planning Committee on June 15, 2022.

A Long Term Investment Plan (LTIP) is a distinct report developed in 2021 to support capital investment priorities included in the Capital Plan Submission. In particular, the LTIP details the planning methodology used by the District to identify priorities for capital investment set out in the long term capital planning process. As the LTIP is a supplemental tool to communicate the road map to work towards the strategic goals in the District Long Range Facilities Plan, it complements the LRFP.

2019 LRFP Information

District staff, based on data and previous engagement with the public and stakeholder groups and based on enrolment statistics, building conditions and other considerations, drafted the LRFP with 17 recommendations for Board consideration.

Several key areas are covered within the LRFP including enrolment forecasts, facility condition, seismic mitigation, the development of a Capital Asset Management Plan, and reduction of capacity.
The draft LRFP is intended to guide the prioritization of capital projects to ensure students are in seismically-safe facilities that provide modern learning environments now and in the future.

The draft Long Range Facilities Plan was presented for Board approval in April, 2019.
