The Montgomery County Public Schools (Maryland) system has assembled in this document its policies, procedures, criteria, and standards that apply to educational facilities development. The policies it contains are part of a planning process that recognizes the interrelationship of its facilities planning policy with other policies such as those on educational programs and capital modernization/renovation projects. The planning process is designed to promote public understanding of planning for county schools and to encourage community members, local government agencies, and municipalities to identify and communicate their priorities and concerns to the Superintendent and Board of Education. Policy guidelines are presented for facilities planning and construction; naming new facilities; facilities renovation; site acquisition; and facilities development plans. (GR)
