SWOT+Issues+-+Facilities

 The compilation of important SWOT issues: > >
 * 1) SFA must undertake a reserve study to fully understand the costs involved in maintaining/enhancing the schools’ infrastructure. This study will help the school’s budget planning process as well.
 * 2) There is a need to evaluate whether SFA should pursue a capital campaign to add buildings to house academic instructions and other school activities and events.
 * 3) SFA should capitalize on the safety and “beauty” of the campus in marketing the school.
 * 4)  Many facilities provisions are gifted to the school from community, so budget for these needs in case the gifts cease. (AC/Heat, irrigation, roof tiles, )
 * 5) SFA has a beautiful campus with pristine facilities in comparison to most schools. Eventual maintenance/repair costs will increase over time, so we need to budget for that.
 * 6) Formalize Disaster Preparedness Plan, inventory supplies and educate families.
 * 7) Develop a plan to determine the over all life of all school assets.
 * 8) Further investigate the plans for phase III of the school construction plan.
 * 9) Development of an adequate reserve fund for the purposes of replacing or repairing school assets as needed.
 * 10) Develop a facilities road map.
 * 11) Document a Disaster plan and communicate to all via the web-site and a hard copy.
 * 12) Develop a Capital Campaign that can be used to complete a phase III facilities plan.
 * 13) Develop a facilities plan which addresses all assets and a plan to address all replacement costs including financial impact of in-kind donations currently received by the school from parents & alumni.
 * 14) Convert classrooms to 21st century learning environments. Plan and budget for facility changes in rooms. (Wireless connectivity hardware, SMART Boards, projectors, electricity, raceway on the walls for wiring) There is no current IT facility maintenance. (Blueprints, Wiring, conduit runs, electrical and racks for hardware)
 * 15)   Phase III for a gymnasium on campus. Long-term planning?
 * 16) There are no Capital Reserves line items in the budget for the future repairs and upgrades that will need to be done at future years.
 * 17) A lot of the handyman tasks are the responsibility of one man. This needs to be redefined.
 * 18) Building expansion plans
 * 19) Technology needs
 * 20)  Multi purpose building/gym for assemblies
