A school leader
1. Knows how to implement district policy for facility use and needs
a. Prioritizes short term and long‐range facilities’ needs
- Conducts quarterly interior/exterior walkthroughs using a scored rubric (roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, doors/hardware, flooring, lighting, playgrounds, fields, signage, ADA routes, elevators).
- Maintains a living Facilities Needs Register with fields: issue, severity, learning impact, cost band, owner, funding source, target date, status, photo.
- Builds a 1–3 year Preventive Maintenance Plan (filters, belts, boiler tune-ups, grease points, backflow, lift inspections) with calendar reminders and vendor contracts attached.
- Aligns the 3–5 year Capital Plan to enrollment forecasts, programmatic needs (CTE, STEM labs, special programs), and safety upgrades (cameras, access control, window film).
- Coordinates work-order triage (emergency within 2 hours; priority 48 hours; routine 10 business days); publishes SLA dashboard.
- Ensures ADA compliance: door widths, ramps, automatic openers, accessible restrooms, height-appropriate fountains, classroom clearances, tactile signage; logs corrective actions.
- “Watch-outs”: deferring roofs/HVAC past useful life, expired permits, playground fall-zone failures, ungrounded outlets, untested GFCIs.
