The most recent BSD Master Plan for the future planning of our facilities was completed in 2016. As part of our long-term forecasting, and as a stipulation for participation in the new Prop. 2 State School Facilities Program (state grants), the District needs to have a Master Plan that has been updated within the past 5 years.

 

The District is beginning this planning, included required document gathering, and will be engaging the Burlingame Community this Fall with a series of community meetings and opportunities to comment. These will include:

The Question we, the Community, are asking ourselves is... How should our School Facilities be improved, altered or replaced in order to best serve the long-term needs of the District and its students?
