District Facility Planning

Every four years, school districts in Kentucky develop a District Facility Plan (DFP) as required by the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE). This process begins with the formation of a Local Planning Committee (LPC) made up of parents, teachers, administrators, community members, and district staff. The LPC works alongside architects and engineers to assess the condition and capacity of school buildings and identify current and future facility needs.

Using this data, the LPC develops a draft facility plan that prioritizes projects such as renovations, additions, or new construction. After a series of public meetings and hearings, the plan is reviewed and approved by the local board of education and submitted to the Kentucky Board of Education for final approval. Once approved, the DFP serves as the district’s roadmap for school facility improvements and helps guide funding decisions for capital construction projects. Allen County Schools’ most recent plan was adopted in 2023 and will guide facility priorities through 2027.
