Gainesville ISD Facility Committee Survey

We Need Your Help!

At the direction of the Gainesville ISD Board of Trustees, the District is forming a Long Range Facilities Committee. The purpose of the Committee will be to study current and future facilities needs. This Committee will be gathering feedback from the community at large, and your input will be greatly appreciated.

The Committee's charge will be to do the following:

Evaluate the use, capacity and condition of existing district facilities
Become educated regarding school construction finance
Identify the most pressing needs facing Gainesville ISD relative to facilities and technology
Discuss and develop facility improvement and expansion plans to meet the identified needs
Evaluate the financial impact of funding for capital improvement projects
Engage the community in dialogue regarding long-range facilities and capital improvement needs in support of the district's strategic plan
Assist district-wide community outreach efforts to increase public awareness of the facilities planning process

By completing this short survey, you can guide the Committee and the District in this study. Please take a few minutes to answer the following questions. Your opinions are valuable to our students and will help us provide the best learning environments we possibly can.
