PROPOSED IMMEDIATE NEED DEFINITION:
An immediate need for WA capital/facility planning is a facility
need that, if unaddressed over the next two years, will create an
inability to fulfill WA's VVM while posing a substantial physical,
social -emotional, and/or academic risk to the success of the
academy staff and/or students. To determine WA's critical mass
the following criteria will be assessed using a risk -analysis
model: compliance, cost, and quality of student learning.
Compliance includes federal and state guidelines, IB Standards
and Practices, strategic plan, and directives from the Board of
Trustees.
Cost includes the actual financial outlay for each item being
considered in addition to costs associated with alternative service
delivery options.
Quality of student learning refers to the ability of the academy to
meet with unique educational needs of all learners while ensuring
successful implementation of the IB curriculum.
Short term as used here would be a period from now through the
next 2 years.
