Facilities Planning Committee
Providing schools and spaces where students can feel safe, be engaged and develop their skills and talents is crucial to serving our growing and diverse community.
The district's Facilities Planning Committee will be responsible for developing a multi-year Long-Term Facility Plan that will help the Richland School Board determine when, where and how to build schools in the future. Potential projects the committee may consider include:
- A third comprehensive high school
- Renovated or new facility for River's Edge High School
- Expansion of Three Rivers HomeLink
- Expansions of or modifications to Hanford and Richland high schools
- Expansions of or modifications to existing middle schools and elementary schools
- Facility needs for non-instructional services (Maintenance, Operations, Transportation, Warehouse, IT, Print Shop)
