Summary of Most Recent Site Inspection

 

An inspection of site buildings and facilities is conducted quarterly throughout the school year.  The maintenance, upkeep, and repair of the buildings and grounds are checked to verify that everything is clean and in good repair.  The last scheduled inspection was conducted in the late spring.

 

 

Repairs Needed

 

As of the last site inspection no major or emergency repairs were needed.  Any minor repairs were noted on the inspection summary and are routinely corrected before the next inspection.

 

 

Corrective Actions Taken or Planned

 

Using the District Deferred Maintenance Five-Year Plan, preventative and routine repairs are handled in a timely manner avoiding most emergency repairs.  The District Service Center responds to site needs as they arise and provides regularly scheduled maintenance in support of the site facilities.  Each year items that are not on the routine maintenance list become topics of discussion with the District Budget Study Committee for recommendations as summer projects to address campus improvements beyond the basic operational needs.

III. School Facilities

School Facility Conditions and Improvements
This section provides information about the condition of the school's grounds, buildings, and restrooms, and a description of any planned or recently completed facility improvements.

General

 

The District takes great efforts to ensure that all schools are clean, safe, and functional.  To assist in this effort, the District uses a facility survey instrument to inspect the condition of the buildings and grounds on the campus each month.  The results of this survey are available at the principal’s office or at the Business Services office at the District Education Center.

 

School Buildings

 

With approximately 350 students enrolled when at capacity, which is most of the year, La Vista is a compact campus.  The campus includes a library/career center, a weight/aerobics facility, and 13 classrooms.  A snack shack operated by the District’s food services program provides snacks and luncheon fare.  The physical education area includes a small basketball court.  Parking is available on campus for students who drive to school.

 

Cleaning Process and Schedule

 

The District has adopted cleaning standards for all schools in the District.  The principal and assistant principal of instruction/operations work daily with the custodial staff members to develop cleaning schedules to ensure a clean and safe school.

 

Deferred Maintenance Budget

 

The District participates in the State School Deferred Maintenance Program, which provides State matching funds on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to assist school districts with expenditures for major repair or replacement of existing school building components.  Typically this includes roofing, plumbing, heating, air condition, electrical systems, interior or exterior painting, and floor systems.  For the 2005/06 school year, the District budgeted approximately $1,400,000 for the deferred maintenance program, an amount that represents 1 percent of the District’s General Fund Budget.

 

Deferred Maintenance Projects

 

For the 2005/06 school year, the District’s Board of Trustees has approved deferred maintenance projects for La Vista High School that will result in replacing classroom carpet and HVAC in Room 3.  A copy of the District’s complete deferred maintenance plan is available at the Business Services office at the District Education Center.

 

New Construction Project

 

The District is currently in the process of the initial planning stages for the construction of a new La Vista High School building.  It is anticipated that the new state-of-the-art facility will open for students during the 2009/10 school year.
