Board adopts 10-year capital plan outlining roughly $1 billion in district facility needs
Summary
Superintendent and facilities staff presented a second-generation 10-year capital plan that inventories district properties and projects roughly $1 billion in needs over the next decade; the board adopted the plan and discussed portable classrooms, timelines for site work, and how to make project schedules accessible to parents.
The San Francisco Unified School District adopted a 10-year capital plan intended to inventory facilities, prioritize projects and coordinate school construction and modernization with city capital planning.
Chief Facilities Officer David Golden told the board the plan compiles property lists (by assessor-parcel number and by program), projects roughly $1 billion in capital needs over 10 years and anticipates $400 million to $550 million in bond needs in coming years if current facility use and needs continue. The plan itemized construction and modernization ($760 million), ADA upgrades ($192 million), deferred maintenance ($50 million) and technology and science upgrades ($43 million).
Board members raised questions about how portable classrooms are counted and requested clearer site-specific schedules so parents can see when upgrades will happen at particular schools. Staff said the plan is a statement of condition rather than a policy document and that more detailed scheduling and integration with student-assignment planning would follow; staff will post the plan online and provide bond-program links for project-level details.
The board approved adoption of the plan by roll call (vote recorded as 5 ayes). Staff said future updates will integrate expected community growth areas (e.g., Mission Bay, Treasure Island) and align capital-timing decisions with strategic-plan and program-placement choices.
What happens next: The plan will be published online and used to coordinate later bond and capital decisions; staff will continue facility walkthroughs and coordinate with program-design and student-assignment work.
