FY 2022 Educational Facilities Master Plan

1.1

EFMP INTRODUCTION

The Wicomico County Board of Education (WCBOE) Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Capital Improvement Program consists of two integral components, the FY2022 Educational Facilities Master Plan (EFMP) and the upcoming FY2023 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The EFMP is part of the comprehensive WCBOE Bridge to Excellence Master Plan which was renamed in 2019 to the Every Student Succeeds Act Consolidated Strategic Plan 1 with the fundamental purpose to increase student achievement for all students in all schools. The EFMP more specifically studies the issues affecting our Wicomico County Public School (WCPS) facilities in detail and creates a framework for prioritizing and scheduling major school projects. This process takes place over the course of the entire fiscal year and continually evolves as information is gathered or becomes available. The development of the WCBOE EFMP involves several contributors ranging from community organizations, local employers, surrounding local municipalities, board of education members, various WCPS staff as well as county departments and council representatives.
