6800 Policy – Operation and Maintenance of School Property Infrastructure Management

Bellingham Public Schools desire to maintain the infrastructure of district facilities.

In order to assure state funding for facilities constructed with new or new in lieu funds after 1994, the board will adopt an asset preservation program (APP).  Annually, the superintendent will report to the board on the condition of the facilities and the effectiveness of the APP.  Every sixth year, an independent assessment will be conducted and reported to the board and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.

For initial participation in the APP, the board will submit a resolution to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction committing the district to implement the program.  The superintendent will develop procedures for the asset preservation program.
