Capital Plan
School boards are required to submit a three-year capital plan to Alberta Education and Childcare by April 1 each year. The purpose of the capital plan is to provide project justification and supportability to the provincial government, demonstrate overall planning and management, communicate local priorities, as well as provide project definition, estimated budget and scope to the Government.
Alberta Education and Childcare will review the three-year capital plan, assess, and prioritize the submitted projects based on the following criteria:
- Health and safety of the school facilities
- Existing building conditions
- Enrollment pressures or changes
- Functionality and programming needs
- Legal rights and legislative requirements
The Foothills School Division has used the above criteria to prepare the Capital Plan.
