What are critical needs versus equity relative to the building program?
Critical needs are those essential repairs or expansions necessary to simply maintain the very basic conditions of the buildings and grounds or provide the necessary seats to accommodate the growing student population. While the term equity within the school district covers a number of categorical perspectives, in construction equity is a measure that compares all facilities to a baseline building program in square footage, number of seats, types of spaces offered (size), quality and other built-in educational facilities.
