Did you know that we have begun engaging the community in a long range facilities planning process?

The Rainier School District recently convened a Long Range Facilities Planning Committee, bringing together community members who applied to help learn about the district’s facilities and provide input on future needs.

At the committee’s first meeting, members learned that the district’s main buildings were constructed in 1978. While the facilities were built to last and continue to serve students well, many building systems are now approaching or beyond their expected lifespan nearly 50 years later. Recent facility assessments highlighted areas that will require attention to ensure the schools continue serving students and the community for decades to come.

Committee members also toured the commons, auditorium, and pool facility, which was closed several years ago. The tour reinforced what many already know: Rainier’s campus is an impressive community asset with strong bones, beautiful grounds, and spaces that have served generations. The committee is beginning to explore what investments may be needed to maintain, protect, and preserve these facilities for future generations.

The committee will meet several times in the spring and fall prior to making a long range facilities plan recommendation to the superintendent.

Stay tuned as the committee continues its work and learns more about the opportunities and challenges facing Rainier’s schools.
