Master Facilities Plan
The Okaloosa County School District is committed to transparency and strategic planning through our Master Facilities Plan. This comprehensive document outlines all past, present, and future projects across our 38 schools, providing a clear vision for the next ten years.
To enhance transparency regarding our Capital and Half-Cent Sales Tax projects, we have published a detailed report. This publication highlights ongoing, completed, and planned projects, ensuring stakeholders are well-informed about our district’s infrastructure developments. Please note that this document is dynamic, and project completion is subject to various factors such as funding availability, construction costs, annual priority reassessments, and unforeseen circumstances.
Executive Summary and Introduction
The document begins with an Executive Summary, detailing the mission and process behind the creation of the Master Facilities Plan. The introduction includes a Demographic Analysis focused on enrollment trends and an OCSD Capacity Analysis, which assesses the overall capacity of each school. This section also explains the factors considered in new construction decisions, including population trends in each zone.
School-Specific Information
Each school has a dedicated section featuring:
Enrollment History (2014-2024): A decade-long overview of student enrollment.
Project Information: General details about ongoing and planned projects.
Capital Improvements Table: Projects in progress or scheduled for the next five years and planned projects beyond 2029, with a note on their tentative nature.
Half-Cent Sales Tax Projects: A table showing completed projects as of the publication date.
Athletic Facilities Planning
The final section of the Master Facilities Plan focuses on Athletic Facilities Planning. This includes:
Completed Projects: Funded by Capital, Half-Cent Sales Tax, or self-help initiatives.
Upcoming Projects: Planned developments for each secondary school.
School Requests: Future needs and requests from each school.
We are dedicated to keeping this document updated as projects progress, are completed, or new ones are added. Your involvement and feedback are crucial as we strive to enhance our district’s facilities for the benefit of our students, and community and most of these projects would not be possible without the Half-Cent Sales Tax approved by our voters in November 2020.
