School District 49

Planning & Construction

The Vision, Mission, and Philosophy of District 49, will guide multiple facets of Planning, Construction and Facility Project Management. 

While "planning" works with the Developers and local jurisdictions in discussing upcoming housing projects, potential impacts to schools, locations of proposed school sites; we also work with the District zones for school boundary alterations.  All while, in the background we are analyzing trends, such as population, enrollment, and capacity, then forecasting projections.

Whereas, the Project Manager oversees the Construction aspects of the District and Facility Project Management.  This may entail all aspects associated with new builds, additions, or building modifications; from planning through completion.  In partnership, the Project Manager works closely with Planning, Schools, Zones, IT, Facilities & Grounds teams to ensure projects are viable, cost effective, specifications are met and final build(s) meets or exceeds District standards.

To remain financial stewards of taxpayer monies, together, with a multitude of cross-functional teams; including, but not limited to, Finance, Maintenance, Custodial, Safety and Health Compliance, Grounds, IT, Purchasing & Contract Management; we assess, analyze, and prioritize all projects, including deferred maintenance, in compliance with board policy and through a very detailed, tedious project flow analysis.

As a team, once we are provided the dollar amount allocated for our next years Capital Improvement Plan [CIP], we are easily able to propose the final project list to leadership for approval.  This proposal identifies all projects, priorities and justification, inclusive of those that fall below the line of funding.
