Long-Range Facility Planning

The Fargo Public Schools Long-Range Facility Plan (LRFP) is an ambitious and forward-thinking initiative designed to transform and enhance the educational landscape within the district over the next 50+ years. This comprehensive plan seeks to address and balance student diversity, provide equitable environments, and improve operational efficiencies to maximize resources for students.

By focusing on increasing overall utilization to around 85%, improving educational adequacy, and ensuring financial sustainability, the plan outlines strategic goals to consolidate schools, thereby creating more cohesive, equitable, and modern educational facilities.

This involves significant investment in facility improvements, a meticulous review of educational adequacy across the portfolio, and a keen emphasis on maintaining safe, healthy learning environments that cater to the long-term needs of all students and staff, while also considering community feedback and ensuring a good return on investment for taxpayers.

Your Voice Matters - Help Shape the Future of Your Neighborhood

As part of Fargo Public Schools’ long-range plan to address aging and inadequate school buildings, we embark on an exciting journey to reimagine four core neighborhood school sites: Ben Franklin, Hawthorne, Roosevelt, and Madison. The redevelopment of these schools presents a unique opportunity to transform these spaces into valuable community assets that continue to serve you and your neighborhood.

To ensure these plans reflect the values, needs, and aspirations of those who live in the community, we want to hear from you. Your voice is crucial in shaping what comes next for these sites and helping us create spaces that foster connection, belonging, and a sense of shared ownership.

We invite you to share your thoughts either at your scheduled school event or online.
