Facilities
Proactively Addressing Facility Problems is Crucial for Providing Safe and Supportive Learning Environments for Students.
ACE leaders have observed ongoing issues with unsafe or malfunctioning furniture and facilities where they are told that the resources aren’t available to repair or replace defective equipment or furniture. Since we know that there are significant resources available in the district’s budget and reserves – with even more coming next year – we have organized colleagues to identify specific facility problems that impact the learning environment, especially those that create a safety risk.

One area where there is often common agreement is the importance of maintaining safe and effective facilities and furniture in our schools.
