Waukee Community School District’s 10-year Facility and Financial Plan was created to help map our future growth and development. It includes detailed plans to manage the District’s facility and infrastructure needs, financial health, and enrollment projections. We believe this plan is an intentional, strategic shift to a longer-term, systemic approach to facility planning.
Key Highlights:
- Great things continue to happen in Waukee and that includes continued increases in enrollment.
- Provides a map for new facilities as well as support for existing facilities through 10-year planning that also addresses finances, boundary work, and staffing.
- Equity in infrastructure across our schools is a priority, as is the access of students to technology.
- Based on current financial, enrollment projections this vision contains shifts in approaches of our maturing district.
