Introduction
Thank you for taking the time to familiarize yourself with the master plan process and future goals of Manitou Springs School District!
In October 2022, Manitou Springs School District began the journey of updating their Facilities Master Plan. In response to the unsuccessful bond election in 2021 and community sentiment regarding direction, the District moved to build upon and update the 2020 Facilities Master Plan. This updated plan serves as the framework for change and future decision making. It was created in collaboration with the school board, district personnel, parents and the professional planning and design team.
Letter from the Superintendent
Mustangs,
Welcome to the Facilities Master Plan webpage. I am pleased to be able to share this important information with our stakeholders. As members of the Manitou Springs community, we all share a collective assumption and expectation that our schools and facilities provide safe, conducive environments for learning, growth, and community engagement.
Over the years, our schools and facilities have served as a mainstay of our community, educating countless students and while fostering a sense of community and belongingness. However, like any infrastructure, they require regular maintenance and updates to continue serving us effectively. With the results of the comprehensive Facilities Master Plan, we are able to reveal deferred maintenance items that may have not been uncovered without this extensive inspection.
I am writing to you today to highlight the importance of addressing facility needs and deferred maintenance across all our sites, including our transportation facility. This is not merely about maintaining bricks and mortar; it's about investing in the future of our community and the well-being of our students and staff.
This comprehensive Facilities Master Plan is crucial in guiding our efforts to prioritize and address these needs effectively. By identifying areas for improvement and strategically allocating resources, we can ensure that our facilities remain safe, functional, inviting, and conducive to learning for generations to come. Furthermore, addressing deferred maintenance is not just a matter of convenience; it's a matter of safety and equity. Every student deserves to learn in an environment that is free from hazards and conducive to reaching their greatest potential.
In the coming weeks and months, we will be engaging with stakeholders across our community to gather input and feedback on our Facilities Master Plan. Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of our schools and facilities. We want your input knowing that we must be good stewards of our resources and plan for taking care of our assets.
Together, we can ensure that our facilities continue to serve as hubs of learning, innovation, and community pride. Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to the well-being of our Burlington School District community.
Sincerely,
Superintendent
Manitou Springs School District
