ABSTRACT
The District of Columbia Public Schools is planning a
framework to create safe and secure school environments for learning, develop
facilities that will support and enhance educational programs, and provide
facilities that will meet the diverse needs of the local school community.
This document is the blank survey instrument that is used to capture
information to support these objectives. The survey is divided into three
parts: questions involving general information about the school; the programs
offered that have separate funding and/or being a "relocatable" unit; and the
facility conditions.
