SiteLogic report finds $58M in immediate needs; board weighs options and timetable for long‑term facility maintenance plan

Saint Francis Area Schools officials heard a detailed facilities assessment June 23 that catalogs hundreds of building assets needing maintenance or replacement and outlines funding choices, timelines and immediate steps the district can take.

The district contracted SiteLogic to inventory building systems, assign condition scores and estimate replacement costs. Michael Smith, a planning executive with SiteLogic, told the board the district’s average building health score is 66 and the average facility age is about 37 years. SiteLogic assessed about 1,940 distinct assets and identified several hundred at higher risk of failure.

The assessment estimated roughly $58 million in current asset replacement needs; after projecting inflation and market escalation over 20 years, SiteLogic presented a planning figure that approaches $120 million. District staff said the district currently receives roughly $1.2 million per year in long‑term facility maintenance (LTFM) formula revenue but that prior bonding has effectively reduced annual available LTFM cash to roughly $400,000 — creating an annual shortfall the presentation put at roughly $2 million a year that grows over time.

Why this matters: the report maps which buildings and systems are closest to failing, shows how small, staggered projects can reduce long‑term tax spikes and points to short‑term procurement risks such as 14‑week lead times for HVAC units.
