Please complete this form to be considered to serve on the Long Range Planning Committee Committee. The LRPC accepts applications year-round. The committee typically interviews new members in the spring for the new term starting July 1st, with fall membership drives as necessary.
Douglas County School District established the Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) in 1983 as an advisory body to the Board of Education. The charge of the LRPC is to continually analyze population trend data, to evaluate population impacts on District education mission and support facilities, to collect community feedback, and to recommend appropriate actions to the Board of Education regarding school attendance boundaries, facility usage (including new construction, renovation, repurpose, or closure) and anticipated capital outlay requirements. Additionally, LRPC members assist in assessing site feasibility for proposed uses by evaluating community impact and recommending site utilization. Finally, LRPC members help to create, review, and present DCSD’s annual Master Capital Plan, which contains recommendations for possible projects in the next five years. The Master Capital Plan helps the Board of Education determine projects for current and future bond elections. The LRPC is a valuable liaison between the community and the Board of Education.
Meetings are usually held on the first Wednesday of each month, with additional subcommittee meetings as needed. Occasionally, public meetings are held to review specific projects or policy changes with impacted stakeholders.
