Published: 2010 Abstract: The 21st Century School Fund, through its Building Educational Success Together (BEST) collaborative, is tracking the effect of federal stimulus funding on the condition of PK-12 public school facilities and whether or not the distribution of ARRA funding related to public school facilities is helping reduce the disparity of capital expenditures among and between school districts. 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?

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 (1637KB) FIRST DRAFT -- Planning Specifications: Educational and Community Program Description and Space Needs, Bruce Monroe Elementary School Published: 2009 Abstract: This is a first draft for review by the school and community of Bruce-Monroe at Park View Elementary School and the District of Columbia Public Schools. It describes the extensive and complex programs, services and operations of the school and is primarily intended to be used by a developer and architect to formulate a site plan -- and eventually a new school design - - for sharing the former school site with residential, commercial or retail development along Georgia Avenue.

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.

Investment in public school buildings pays three times: once for skilled jobs, a second time in the healthy, safe, and educationally appropriate environment a quality school building creates for students and teachers, and finally in the benefits that quality education will reap for generations to come.

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.

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.

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.

Section Number: 1 Publisher: National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities Abstract: In November 2002, the National Clearinghouse for Education Facilities published a review of current school facilities research commissioned by the 21st Century School Fund. This review concluded that spatial configurations, noise, temperature, daylight, and air quality have an affect on students’ and teachers’ ability to perform in the classroom. However, it pointed out the need for more empirical research and for standardized data so individual schools can make use of the existing body of research on best practices.
