Facilities Master Plan
What is A Long Range Facilities Master Plan?
As part of Bakersfield City School District’s commitment to maintaining the quality of education, the District regularly develops districtwide Facilities Master Plans (FMP) to identify all school facilities’ needs—including classrooms, building systems, educational technology, playgrounds, safety and security.
Bakersfield City School District is currently engaged in a comprehensive effort to create a new Facilities Master Plan for 2027-2037. The 2027-2037 FMP will identify the needs of current school sites including modernization and renovation projects, new construction, and building reconfigurations. The plan will ensure that students, educators, and the Bakersfield Community have a long-term road map to plan for informed investments in school facilities for the next decade while aligning with the needs of Proposition 2.
The 2027-2037 Facilities Master Plan will enable the district to:
Adapt to changing enrollment and demographics
Modernize and improve aging facilities
Provide high-quality learning environments

Analysis of capacity and enrollment history
Developing a thorough understanding of educational programs and program-related needs from the District
Gathering of community perspective
