Published: 2012 Abstract: Michael Siegel, Public and Environmental Finance Associates in association with Mary Filardo, 21st Century School Fund completed a review of the Illinois Facility Fund's analysis. There is no question that the District needs quality schools for every child, in every neighborhood. Unfortunately, IFF's study is not a guide that will help us reach these ends because its findings and recommendations are fundamentally flawed. Download / View:  PDF (169KB) 
Published: 2011 Abstract: Quality schoolyards are important places for elementary schools because outdoor activities are critical for child growth, health, education, enjoyment as well as for community use and as green open space in neighborhoods. The 21st Century School Fund created “Developing Great Schoolyards” by surveying D.C. public elementary schoolyards in the spring and summer of 2010. The review identified key elements of healthy, safe and educationally rich schoolyards.

When school districts properly plan for their school facilities they have better schools, more public use and higher value for public spending. This evaluation guide was designed for superintendents and school boards that are called on to sign off on plans presented by facility professionals and consultants, but who generally do not have experience with educational facility planning. It can also be used by community members to advocate for high quality educational facility planning.

Published: 2010 Abstract: The 21st Century School Fund has sought to identify all of the federal programs that can be used for PK-12 school facilities modernization and construction. The report analyzes federal spending for PK-12 school facilities through dedicated and allowable federal grants and dedicated and allowable federal tax credits and loans. "For every one thousand dollars that states and local school districts spend on public school buildings improvements paid for through capital outlay, the federal government contributes about 86 cents."

Published: 2010 Abstract: The 21st Century School Fund examined each U.S. State's capital outlay from 2005-2008 for elementary and secondary public education facility construction and modernization. 21CSF also surveyed and conducted telephone interviews with every U.S. State on the role that the state plays in school facility capital project planning and management. "It is clear from this study that only about half of all states have a partnership with local districts to share in the responsibility for providing adequate school facilities." Download / View: PDF (6065KB) Published: 2010 Abstract: One of the obstacles to intensive joint use of public school buildings and grounds is the school district's facility operation and maintenance costs. Yet most school districts have not calculated the real cost of ownership of their facilities. This joint use cost calculator , developed by the 21st Century School Fund and Center for Cities and Schools, enables a school district to: 1) Determine the true "cost of ownership" of all its facilities and grounds; and 2) Develop a fee structure for community use, based on the real cost of ownership. The calculator fully identifies the elements of school district facility costs, calculates a per square foot cost of ownership and proposes various scenarios for cost recovery, so school districts can knowingly subsidize broader community use, or secure the other public or private funds needed to support intensive community use. The calculator was piloted in the San Francisco Unified School District to assist with decision-making about maximizing the use of public educational assets for school and community benefit. It is in BETA form and we are actively soliciting feedback for improvement.

Visiting the school and reviewing plans and documents, 21CSF recommended that the Department of Education (DOE) reconsider its decision to increase the charter school partner, PAVE over the course of two years. Download / View: PDF (506KB) Published: 2010 Abstract: In this paper, we provide a conceptual frame for the joint use of PK-12 public school buildings. There is a growing conversation about and demand for joint use as a way to provide services to children and families in convenient locations, improving opportunities for physical activity by increasing use of school recreational and outdoor spaces, leverage capital investments, and more. However, engaging in joint use, particularly intensive sharing of space or use by multiple parties, presents ongoing challenges to school and community leaders. This paper attempts to frame the basic challenges and opportunities for joint use to facilitate better conversations and planning for these types of collaborations.

Published: 2010 Abstract: The Through Your Lens book brings together the vivid photos and poignant stories of students and teachers across America with context from statistics, maps and background. It illustrates current school conditions, how our system reached this point, and what is possible for all students and teachers. Perhaps most important, it answers the question, "How can we change this?" This book was developed from the joint efforts of the 21st Century School Fund, Critical Exposure and Healthy Schools Campaign.

This brief report highlights initial findings related to the following questions:
- How much disparity exists in school facility spending by state and locality?
- How were school facilities addressed in the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act?
- What has happened to our nation's school facilities as a result of ARRA provisions?
- Which schools and which students benefited from ARRA expenditures?
Download / View: PDF (497KB) Published: 2009 Abstract: There has been a slow but steady increase of research on the impact of public school facilities on educational achievement and community outcomes and of the rigor of the research. This summary of studies is part of a larger literature review conducted by the 21st Century School Fund with funding from the Charitable Trust of the Council on Educational Facility Planners International.
Recent research continues to point to a small but steadily positive relationship between the quality of a public school facility and a range of academic and community outcomes.
This study reviews the literature on:
- Facilities & academic outcomes
- School building systems
- School facility condition and community factors

Download / View: PDF (634KB) Published: 2009 Abstract: This report describes how a new national commitment to address the deferred maintenance and renewal of our nation’s PK-12 public school buildings will improve our education system, the economy and the environment. A $27 billion federal investment, just 10% of the minimum estimated total need, would take us a major step closer to ensuring that the nearly 55 million staff and students who attend school daily are in healthy, safe and educationally appropriate environments. This investment will also quickly create between 160,000 and 235,000 jobs that will protect our environment and sustain the public infrastructure investments made by earlier generations.

Published: 2008 Publisher: 21st Century School Fund Abstract:
The Office of the State Superintendent of Education commissioned this study in late 2006, with original impetus from a federal directive for the city to study how quality public school options can retain and attract families to live in the District of Columbia. Three DC-based organizations -- 21st Century School Fund, the Brookings Institution, and the Urban Institute -- collaborated to conduct the research, bringing their distinct perspectives and expertise on education, housing, and neighborhood development in the District. This policy report draws on extensive quantitative analysis of student, school, and neighborhood-level data, focus groups with parents and high school dropouts, and meetings with city stakeholders and of officials in both the education and housing sectors. A two volume companion study, with analysis, data tables, and detailed appendices on school supply, student enrollment patterns, and neighborhood characteristics, is being released concurrently with the policy report.

There are examples of good policy in many states, but no state has a coherent set of policies designed to intentionally support the planning, design, construction, utilization, and management of high performance public school buildings -- so they are the educational and neighborhood assets that they need to be, as well as environmentally and fiscally responsible.

This proposal addresses challenges associated with the reopening of public schools in New Orleans. It recommends a public/private partnership to plan, design, construct, manage and finance the redevelopment of high quality public schools. To illustrate how a public/private partnership can work, we have applied the model to the reopening of the Edward Hynes Elementary School located in the Lakeview neighborhood in New Orleans.

Download / View: PDF (509KB) Published: 2004 Publisher: 21st Century School Fund Abstract: The attrition of both new and experienced teachers is a great challenge for schools and school administrators throughout the United States, particularly in large urban districts. Because of the importance of this issue, there is a large empirical literature that investigates why teachers quit and how they might be better induced to stay. Here we build upon thisliterature by suggesting another important factor: the quality of school facilities. We investigate the importance of facility quality using data from a survey of K-12 teachers in Washington, D.C. We find in our sample that facility quality is an important predictor of the decision of teachers to leave their current position. Download / View: HTML

Conspicuously absent has been an examination of how school conditions affect teaching and learning...
This study documents how a large sample of teachers in Chicago and Washington, DC rate the working conditions in their schools and how they perceive these conditions affecting their job performance and teaching effectiveness.
School facilities have a direct affect on teaching and learning. Poor school conditions make it more difficult for teachers to deliver an adequate education to their students, adversely affect teachers' health, and increase the likelihood that teachers will leave their school and the teaching profession. Our nation's school facilities are a critical part of the educational process. Their condition and upkeep must be addressed in the ongoing discourse about student achievement, teacher effectiveness, and accountability.
