This report by the Governor's Commission on School Construction outlines a comprehensive, long-range plan to address critical school infrastructure issues in Maine. It aims to ensure that all students have access to safe, modern, efficient, and accessible public schools. The plan focuses on four interconnected objectives: reducing costs, maximizing existing resources, diversifying and increasing funding, and utilizing data for strategic advantage and multi-year planning. Key strategies include reducing soft costs, addressing deferred maintenance, expanding centralized procurement, incentivizing consolidation, strengthening energy efficiency, exploring repurposing opportunities, and developing a statewide school facilities master plan.
