Introduction
Dear Community,
Thank you for being here to learn more about our Long-Range Facilities Master Plan.
What is a Long-Range Facilities Master Plan? This plan is a blueprint – a roadmap for our district facilities for the next 10 years. It’s a way of designing not only great buildings, but also, a brick-by-brick approach to ensuring excellent school facilities … now and over time.
To build the plan, we have crunched data, studied projections, examined demographics, assessed each campus, talked with site leaders, and surveyed you – our Jurupa families and community members – about your priorities.
From better-managed school drop off and pickup areas, to more opportunities for STEM learning, to additional school-safety precautions, your feedback is woven into the fabric of the plan.
Your input, along with our research, will help us furnish every Jurupa student with a 21st century learning environment that supports innovation. We also pledge to provide equity among facilities in our district, which comprises 26 campuses serving approximately 18,000 students.
The Long-Range Facilities Master Plan will help us reach these goals in a systematic way: by prioritizing urgent upgrades, planning ahead for growth, and adapting learning spaces to feature new programs, incorporate new technologies, and meet evolving student needs.
Broadly, the plan has five objectives: First, to ensure the safety of students and staff on every campus. Second, to protect the physical assets that serve our children. Third, to modernize aging learning spaces. Fourth, to provide new instructional spaces as needed. And fifth, to enhance campus aesthetics.
In the decade ahead, the plan also will help our Board of Education prioritize facility spending, as funding becomes available.
After all, ensuring safe and modern facilities that students thrive in, and are proud of, is part of the district’s promise to our community.
As we say in our mission statement: “By fostering a growth mindset in every child, Jurupa Unified School District empowers each child to unlock their potential and succeed in career, in school, and in life. We call this Learning Without Limits—the promise we make and pledge to uphold—to our students, their families and our community.”
On behalf of Jurupa Unified, we thank you again for your time, your support, and your input. We are grateful to be part of such a wonderful community.
