Dear EV Families,

Our school needs to nominate two (2) parents to serve on the school district’s Local Planning
Committee (LPC) for the District Facilities Plan (DFP).

What is the Local Planning Committee (LPC) and the District Facilities Plan (DFP)?
The LOCAL PLANNING COMMITTEE is an advisory committee to the local board of education charged
with the development of a four (4) year District Facilities Plan. The committee is made up of twenty (20)
members that include; parents, teachers, building administrators, facilities directors, central office staff,
local board members, local governmental building, code enforcement or planning officials and the
school superintendent, who is a non-voting member of the committee. This committee studies
information concerning the district’s buildings, financial information, demographics and other
information at its discretion to develop a plan for addressing the districts construction needs.

The DISTRICT FACILITIES PLAN is information developed in a planning process that will allow districts to
chart a course in their construction planning that will provide for “equitable and adequate” facilities for
the students that they serve. The information that must be included as part of the District Facilities Plan
(DFP) submission includes: building analysis, inventories, pricing and construction prioritization. This
information is used to develop the (DFP).

The (DFP) is the mechanism for accessing funds that are restricted for school Capital Construction and
Major Renovation. The DFP is used in the calculation of “Needs Based” funding and also to allow use of
the remaining restricted funds.

PUBLIC MEETINGS will be conducted by the LPC to review presentations and discuss information during
the development of the proposed District Facility Plan. The meeting allows for the Local Planning
Committee to discuss information without outside interruption during the development of the District
Facilities Plan. Meetings may be held at a day of the week and time agreed to by the Local Planning
Committee in a facility that is accessible to the non-ambulatory handicapped.

Who is eligible? Any parent that is not employed by the district’s Board of Education or serves on the
Board is eligible.
How do I apply? If you are interested in serving on the Local Planning Committee (LPC) or you would like
to nominate someone else, please submit your nominations through email to East View's Office email at evesinfo@dcps.org.

Nominations will be taken until Thursday, August 13.
Thank you so much for your support of East View and our entire school district!
