Wendell School District #232 Plant Facility and Bond Election

November 4, 2014 www.wendellschools.org

1. Maintenance of Facilities

Clean well-maintained buildings appear to be important to ensure academic achievement provided that other conditions are present that support a strong academic program in each of our schools. Student achievement, student behavior, and staff morale are all effected by the physical condition of our buildings. An ongoing maintenance plan will guide the district to effectively plan for the facility needs of each building. Facility needs also include the consistent maintenance of providing safe, comfortable student transportation.

From District’s Strategic Plan
