Long-Range Facility Planning Committee

Snyder Independent School District (SISD) appointed a committee of local citizens, students, parents and school employees to study facility needs across the district. This work will include, but is not limited to a review of facilities under the following scope: academic, co-curricular and technology, safety and security, transportation, maintenance and extracurricular program needs.

The committee’s work over the next nine months will be instrumental in developing a Long-Range Facility Plan that will serve Snyder ISD students for the next five years. This work aligns with state law under Policy CS (Legal).

Committee's Charge

The Long-Range Facility Planning Committee is charged to serve in an advisory capacity to the School Board and Administration on a temporary basis regarding the topic of facility planning and capital needs.

The committee will keep students at the center of all recommendations and maximize the district’s financial resources. The work will be guided by the Board-Adopted Strategic Plan.

The committee’s work will be presented in a public meeting as recommendations to the SISD School Board. This webpage will be dedicated to sharing information and presentations with the public as part of the committee’s ongoing work.
