LONG-RANGE FACILITY PLANNING
-
The Long-Range Facility Planning Committee (LRFPC) is being reconvened in the fall of 2021 to continue planning for the next 5-10 years of student growth in Dripping Springs ISD. The LRFPC serves a critical need for the future of our district, as important decisions will be made over the next year to ensure that Dripping Springs ISD continues to serve all students with a personal and exceptional education.
The membership of the committee is comprised of those who attended meetings in this capacity in 2019-20 and newly added members. The committee has representation from staff, parents and community members who reside in various parts of the district. While the committee will consist of approximately 50 members, the community will be able to access meetings.
The Long-Range Facility Planning Committee was last active during the 2019-20 school year. The committee met four times in person between November and February, then had one virtual meeting in May after the onset of COVID. At that time, the planning process was intentionally paused due to the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic, including potential implications on future student enrollment.
