2010 Needs Survey
Executive Summary
The 2010 Needs Survey Report is the culmination of twelve months of work commissioned by
84% the Massachusetts School Building Authority (“MSBA”) to collect, verify, update and analyze
data on the conditions of district-owned public K-12 school facilities throughout the Common-

scores for building
conditions ing professionals whose task was to utilize a standard survey tool to collect data and review the
general building conditions, overall physical environment and space utilization at each school in
the Commonwealth. The assessors met with the superintendent in each school district to collect
97% and tabulate an inventory of district-owned school properties and to collect data on a number of
district wide questions. Assessors then visited each school within the district to develop a com-

Over 97% received the highest ratings for providing a good physical environment in which to

Less than 2% of schools received the lowest rating, meaning that a school building may need
substantial work. This represents 23 schools with poor building conditions and an overlapping
set of 27 schools with poor physical environments. This is an improvement over the 62 school
facilities who received the poorest buildings conditions rating in 2005.

2010 Needs Survey
School Construction Boom

Between 2000 and 2010, nearly 70 million square feet of school facility space was built new or renovated. This
amount was almost double the next highest decade. The construction and renovation included projects the MSBA
inherited from the former school building assistance program as well as new projects in the MSBA’s Capital Pipeline.
The former program was viewed by school districts as a quasi-entitlement to school construction funds. Local
demand for funding outpaced state resources. A three-year moratorium on school construction projects also
contributed to the unparalleled increase in demand for school construction grants. In anticipation of the start of the
moratorium in 2004, many cities, towns and districts rushed to get their school projects on the list, resulting in a 428
project Waiting List. Too many of these projects were premature, poorly planned and predicated on unrealistic
enrollment projections.
Post-moratorium demand added to the already overwhelming amount of demand for school construction
projects. Once the moratorium was lifted in 2007, districts filed over 400 Statements of Interest (SOIs) with the
MSBA. When added to the 428 projects on the Waiting List, over 800 schools of the existing 1800 schools were
requesting funding. The demand for school projects by districts does not match the data collected during the Needs
Survey, which indicates that the vast majority of schools are in good physical condition and have adequate space for
the current enrollment and educational program.
About 40% of Massachusetts school square footage has been built new or renovated in the last 10 years.

2010 Needs Survey
Making Needed Improvements

The MSBA has expended over $7.5 billion on school capital facilities improvements since its creation in 2004.
As of April 1, 2011, there are 338 active school projects in the MSBA’s rolling Capital Pipeline, including new con-
struction, renovation, and repair projects. This represents a commitment of approximately $2 billion in MSBA grant
funds toward improvements at our public schools.
Of the 62 schools that received the poorest rating during the initial Needs Survey, 9 received funding from the MSBA
for new construction or renovation, 19 are currently in the Capital Pipeline and 6 are closed. The MSBA reached out
to all 33 school districts whose schools earned the lowest rating in 2005. Some districts chose not to seek funding.
Others prioritized a different school project. Still others could not secure local funds to pay their share of a school
construction or renovation project.
Of the 278 schools that were given the second poorest rating in the 2005 Need Survey, 53 received funding from the
MSBA and 89 are in the Capital Pipeline.
This map represents schools that have closed since the last Needs Survey.

2010 Needs Survey
Enrollment and Excess Capacity

Enrollment has declined by 2.8% statewide from its
peak and is projected to continue declining for the
next decade. Central and Western Massachusetts had
the largest decreases in enrollment, but all regions were
affected.
One out of every five schools may have excess ca-
pacity. Nearly 24% of schools received a Below Aver-
age space utilization rating, meaning that the building
appears to be significantly larger than its current enroll-
ment or educational program requires.
There are a large number of school facilities in Mas-
sachusetts that are no longer being used as schools.
There are more than 150 district-owned school build-
ings that are not currently used for the education of
public school children. This figure includes older
schools that have been converted to district administra-
tion buildings, municipal offices or community spaces;
buildings that have been abandoned due to age or con-
dition; and schools that lacked sufficient enrollment to
remain open.
More than 80 public schools have closed since the
initial Needs Survey in 2005. Nearly 40 closed due to Interior of the Acton Twin School, Acton, MA.
lack of enrollment, including some schools that were
recently built or renovated under the former program.
At least seven schools have closed since the end of the
2009-2010 academic year. The new processes and
planning put in place by the MSBA are designed to
find right-sized solutions and help prevent the con-
struction of unneeded space by emphasizing realistic
enrollment projections and pre-project planning and
focusing on core academic spaces.
Nearly 1 million square feet of classroom space is no
longer being used for education. In schools that are
still open and used for teaching public K-12 school
children, school personnel identified over 1,300 spaces,
originally designed as classrooms, that are no longer
used for educating school children. The combined costs
of building those excess classrooms today would be
approximately $275 million.

Introduction
The History of School Building in Massachusetts

The Massachusetts School Building Authority (“MSBA”) is a quasi-independent government
April 23, authority created in 2004 to reform the process of funding capital improvement projects for the
1635 Commonwealth’s public K-12 schools. The MSBA strives to work in collaboration with local
districts to create affordable, sustainable and energy efficient schools across Massachusetts.
The Boston Latin The Former Program
School is founded,
The Legislature created a temporary school building assistance program in 1948 to encourage
making it the oldest
school in the United municipalities to regionalize local educational facilities to accommodate the post-World War II
States. baby boom population. Originally set to expire in 1951, the school building assistance program
was administered by the Department of Education and only grew in popularity over the years.
The rate at which the Commonwealth was reimbursing cities and towns for school construction
projects eventually grew to range from 50% to 90% of approved project costs. In the 1980s, the
two recessions and the passage of a statewide local property tax limitation initiative petition,
“Proposition 2 ½,” limited the ability of cities and towns to raise local funds. As a result, by the
1990’s, the demand by cities and towns for funding for school construction projects had out-
paced the then current funding and management structure.
By the early 2000’s, the “temporary” program had become unsustainable, accumulating more
than $11 billion in unfunded promises to local districts. By 2003, there were 428 projects on a
waiting list to begin construction, and communities that actually broke ground routinely waited
years – sometimes decades – to receive their first reimbursement from the state.
The MSBA
The MSBA was created in 2004 to administer and fund a new program to provide assistance to
cities, towns, regional school districts and independent agricultural and technical schools to
finance school construction, repair and renovation projects. The MSBA is mandated with
achieving the effective planning, management and financial sustainability of a new program for
school construction, repair and renovation.
Since 2004, the MSBA has made over $7.5 billion in payments to cities, towns and regional
school districts, including full or partial payments to all of the eligible Waiting List Projects. In
addition, the MSBA has completed over 780 of the 800 backlogged audits inherited from the
former program, saving the taxpayers of Massachusetts more than $1 billion in project costs and
$2.9 million in avoided local interest costs.
The MSBA’s grant program places tremendous emphasis on planning, due diligence and priori-
tization of scarce MSBA resources. The MSBA approves new projects through a competitive
process that stresses need and urgency, and reimbursement can range from 31% to 80% of eligi-
ble project costs. There are currently more than 300 construction, renovation and repair pro-
jects in the MSBA’s Capital Pipeline.
The MSBA, which has a designated revenue stream of one penny of the state sales tax, is col-
laborating with municipalities to equitably invest up to $500 million per year in schools across
the Commonwealth by finding the right-sized, most fiscally responsible and educationally ap-
propriate solutions to create safe and sound learning environments. The MSBA is committed to
protecting the taxpayers’ dollar by improving the school building grant process and avoiding
the mistakes of the past in the funding and construction of school facilities.

2010 Needs Survey
Improved Process
Ended culture of entitlement by creating a competitive grant application process based on need and urgency,
ensuring that state funds go where they are needed
Began asking school districts to identify their facility problems, which could be analyzed and efficiently
solved, rather than identifying solutions, which were sometimes not aligned with district needs and deficien-
cies
Adopted most comprehensive revision of program regulations in 60 years, focusing on intensive pre-design
scope, schedule and budget development
Standardized contracts for designers and Owner’s Project Managers, clearly delineating roles and responsi-
bilities and protecting the rights of districts
Knowledge Bank
Completed first ever capital survey of Massachusetts schools, identifying baseline public school inventory
and collecting data for regulation development
Posted construction, design and project management cost data on the MSBA’s website as a reference for mu-
nicipalities
Developed educationally sound space guidelines and standards
Modernized Tools
Developed and implemented a web-based “pay/audit-as-you-build” Progress Payment System for projects
which provides municipalities with cash flow as projects are built and reduces the amount of debt a school
district needs to issue
Developed a free, web-based Enrollment Projection System for districts to use as a resource for estimating
enrollments
Developed a web-based Statement of Interest (SOI) Application System, which is open 24/7 during the sub-
mittal period and keeps information from prior years to save the districts time when updating their data

2010 Needs Survey
The 2010 Needs Survey

In 2005, the MSBA conducted the initial Needs Survey, which helped to create the first centralized database of school
building data and established the baseline facilities conditions at more than 1,800 schools. The 2010 Needs Survey
verifies, updates, and supplements the data collected in 2005 and is a critical component of the MSBA’s efforts to
ensure fair and equitable funding of school construction, renovation and repair projects across the Commonwealth.
Consistent with the MSBA’s statutory mandates in Chapter 70B and the requirements to conduct periodic surveys of
the cities, towns and regional school districts to determine the need for school construction and renovation, the 2010
Needs Survey was necessary to provide the MSBA with:
• Updated and supplemented standardized general facility and condition information about each of the
district-owned school facilities in the Commonwealth that, together with other data and information,
helps the MSBA’s Board of Directors review applications and make funding decisions;
• Data that assists in the development and maintenance of the MSBA’s long term capital plan; and
• An overall context of the conditions of school facilities and how needs of individual districts fit within
the statewide spectrum of need.
The major components of the 2010 Needs Survey include:
• Confirming basic information such as school names, locations, addresses, and square footage;
• Reviewing each school building’s history including dates and scope of construction, additions/
renovations and repairs to major building systems;
• Assessing the general conditions of specific site and major building systems;
• Evaluating the overall general environment of the school building;
• Gathering information about space utilization;
• Evaluating school maintenance practices and performance based on visual observations and the data
collected;
• Recording the availability of general and specialized classrooms and core spaces; and
• Identifying district-owned school buildings that are no longer being used for the education of public K-
12 school students.
Data collection was carried out by a team of 19 design and engineering professionals, who visited each public K-12
school facility in the Commonwealth that may be eligible for MSBA funding. Forty-nine schools that are the sites of
active or imminent construction or renovation projects were not visited during the Needs Survey. Information for
those 49 schools will be gathered when construction is complete.

Number of Schools and Square Footage

There are 1,757 active schools, which are composed of 1,831 school-related
permanent buildings totaling 173,366,462 gross square feet (GSF) that sup-
port 927,252 students in 329 school districts (including 55 regional school
districts and 30 vocational school districts) in Massachusetts. An additional
28,311 students are educated in schools, including Commonwealth Charter
schools, that are not eligible for MSBA funding. The largest number of
public school buildings house elementary school programs.
There is little evidence of widespread overcrowding and most of the space
needs for Massachusetts schools are being met through the use of perma-
nent school facility space. Only a very small percentage, about 1%, of the
classrooms in the Commonwealth are in temporary spaces.
• Only 780 out of more than 63,000 total classrooms are located in
modular buildings.
• 107 schools, 6% of the state’s public K-12 facilities, have more than
10% of their classroom space in temporary modular buildings.

Massachusetts schools generally are in good condition, despite the number of buildings that were
built before and during the baby boom years of the 1950s and 1960s.
• 84.3% of Massachusetts schools received a rating of 1 or 2, meaning that their site
and building systems are in generally good condition, with few building systems that
million may need attention.
Square feet of
school facility space • Less than 1.5% of schools in the Commonwealth, or only 23 schools, received a

2000.
• 244 schools received an overall building conditions rating of 3, meaning that they
may require a moderate to extensive renovation to address the physical deficiencies at
those facilities. 63 of those schools have already been invited into the MSBA’s Capital
Pipeline.
The good condition of Massachusetts schools is due in large part to the substantial and continuing
financial commitment the Commonwealth and municipalities have made towards building or reno-
vating educational facility space during the last 62 years.
• The MSBA has paid over $7.5 billion to cities and towns toward $11 billion in pay-
ments for construction and renovation projects undertaken at 1,156 schools in the
Commonwealth between 1986 and 2005.
• The MSBA is committed to funding up to $500 million per year in grants under its
new program. To date, the MSBA has approved approximately $2 billion of grants at
more than 300 schools under the new program.
• Since 2000, almost 40% of the nearly 173 million existing square feet of school
facility space has been built new or renovated.
The table in this section provides age of school buildings by decade, along with the average general
condition rating of all the schools built within that decade, which was assigned during the Needs
Survey.

2010 Needs Survey
Additions, Renovations and New Construction

The chart on the facing page illustrates the activity of school construction by decade for the past 60 years. Prior to
2000, the pace of school facility construction and renovation in Massachusetts had been relatively steady at approxi-
mately 35 million square feet per decade. However, there have been two significant deviations from this norm – 1980-
1989 and 2000-2009. Both of these deviations are based, in part, on major policy initiatives enacted by the Common-
wealth.
1980-1989 — The pace of school construction/renovation dropped dramatically in this decade. This drop in activ-
ity is based, in part, on the passage of Proposition 2 ½, after which cities, towns and regional school districts were
constrained in their ability to raise local funds to match available state funding. This decade also had two major
economic recessions that impacted both local and state revenues.
2000-2009 — Although a number of factors played a role in the school construction and renovation boom of the
last ten years, the former program, with its high reimbursement rates, limited oversight and Waiting List, helped
foster a culture of entitlement to school construction and renovation funds that in part, fueled the construction and
renovation boom of 2000-2009.
• In 2003, a moratorium was imposed on accepting applications for school construction and renovation
grants. In anticipation of the moratorium, districts rushed to get their school projects on the Waiting
List, causing the number of Waiting List projects approved under the former program to balloon to over
400.
• In 2004, the legislature, recognizing that the former program was unsustainable, stepped in to reform the
process by creating the MSBA and mandating that this new entity reform the process for school con-
struction and renovation grants. Just as there was a rush to get on the Waiting List before the former
program closed, a similar rush occurred when the new, reformed program opened in fiscal year 2008 and
the MSBA received 432 Statements of Interests (SOIs).
• In total, the MSBA has received 553 new SOIs for new program projects. When added to the 428 Wait-
ing List projects, the requests for projects at 981 of the Commonwealth’s 1757 schools is surprising
given the overall good condition of schools and declining enrollment. However, it is noteworthy that
many of the more recent requests for funding are for repair projects at schools that are otherwise in good
condition.
The number of new Statements of Interest submitted by
Districts has declined considerably from 432 when the New Statements of Interest
process first opened in fiscal year 2008. While Districts
continue to refresh previously-filed SOIs each year, only 31 500
432
new SOIs were filed for the new program in fiscal year
2011 and the vast majority of those were repairs or addi- 400

2010 Needs Survey
Space Utilization Case Study

Problem: The initial Needs Survey in 2005 revealed
that Massachusetts schools had been built 32% to 39%
larger, on average, than the maximum gross square
footage space requirements per student under the regu-
lations of the former program as managed by the then
Department of Education (DOE). Under the former
program, funding for local school projects was based
upon a formula composed of the DOE’s space regula-
tions, the project enrollment as proposed by the school
district and the cost per square foot at the commence-
ment of construction as established in DOE regula-
tions. The space standards were not adjusted for many
years and most schools were built larger than the stan-
dards.
As previously stated, the classrooms that are no longer
being used to educate children represent approximately
1 million square feet of classroom space. While state-
wide enrollment declines may account for some of the
empty classrooms, many others were built for projected
enrollments that never materialized. Building educa-
tional space that is not used is inefficient and wasteful.
If this space were to be built today, it would cost ap- Interior of the Frank V. Thompson School in Dorchester, MA, circa

Solution: The MSBA has based its program for school
construction and renovation on intensive pre-planning
and due diligence in order to build appropriately-sized
school facilities. In addition, since 2004, the MSBA
has worked with designers and educators to develop
space guidelines for new construction that are educa-
tionally appropriate and fiscally responsible. The
MSBA’s regulations include space allowances for
overall gross square footage based on grades served
and enrollment. Where the DOE’s regulations estab-
lished a maximum of 115 GSF per student at elemen-
tary schools, for example, the MSBA allows a range
from 145 GSF per student for the largest elementary
schools to 180 GSF per student at schools with enroll-
ments of 309 or fewer pupils. The MSBA’s regulations
also establish size standards for middle schools and
high schools as well as minimum and maximum size
requirements for general classrooms. The MSBA has

2010 Needs Survey
also developed Educational Program Space Standards

and Guidelines for other spaces, including gymnasi-
ums, library/media centers, cafeterias, auditoriums,
special education spaces and science labs. Throughout
its collaboration with school districts, the MSBA has
listened and been responsive to feedback from district
personnel regarding the spaces needed to deliver a 21st
century educational program and has made adjustments
to the space guidelines, when appropriate.
In 2010, the MSBA revised its regulations regarding

education and collaborative spaces.

Enrollment Trends
Across the Commonwealth, enrollment has been declining since the peak year of 2003 when there were approximately
983,000 students enrolled in the state’s public schools. Since then, enrollment has declined roughly 3% to approxi-
mately 955,563 in 2009-2010, representing a cumulative loss of over 26,000 students since the peak year. Statewide,
enrollments have dropped 1.6% since the initial Needs Survey in 2005. The Western and Central regions of Massa-
chusetts have been the hardest hit, but no region has been unaffected. Despite the overall trend toward enrollment
decline, there are pockets of growth and the MSBA is dedicated to identifying and working with those communities
where increased student populations may put pressure on existing school facilities.
Since the initial Needs Survey in 2005, more than 80 public schools have closed and school districts have identified
lack of enrollment as a factor in at least half of those closures. The number of closed schools includes traditional ele-
mentary, middle and high schools as well as some smaller alternative schools and early childhood centers. In total,
district personnel identified over 150 buildings that were originally constructed as public schools that are no longer
being used for that purpose. When enrollment was not the primary factor, age, building conditions and/or operating
costs were cited as the reasons for closing or repurposing those school buildings.

2010 Needs Survey
Enrollment Case Study

Problem: Prior to the creation of the MSBA, enrollment projections were generated by the school district in a locally-
driven process. In general, school districts either generated their own enrollment projections or hired a consultant to
assist them. The former school building assistance program lacked a process to formally verify the District’s enroll-
ment projections leading to school construction projects that were based on unrealistic design enrollments. A review
of historic enrollment certification data revealed that more than three-quarters of school districts over-projected their
long-term enrollment. The average over-projection was approximately 25% of the student population. To phrase it
another way, one out of every four seats in the state’s public schools was built for a child that did not materialize.
Example: Gateway Regional School District provides a stark example of the ramifications of exaggerated enrollment
projections. The District recently shuttered three schools – the Blandford, Conwell/Worthington and Russell Elemen-
tary Schools – due to lack of enrollment, despite the fact that all three schools had received funding as Waiting List
projects for additions or major renovations in 2003-2004. These school projects were based on design enrollments
that exceeded actual student populations by 20 to 46 percent. In the end, the Commonwealth invested over $6.5 mil-
lion in buildings that are no longer being used as schools.
Solution: To avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, the MSBA has created a standard on-line enrollment tool based
on a uniform methodology that Districts can use at no cost. In addition, the MSBA independently verifies the enroll-
ment data and other relevant information submitted by districts to ensure the accuracy of their base assumptions. Es-
tablishing an accurate enrollment projection is one of the first steps in the MSBA’s process for construction and reno-
vation projects. The agreed upon enrollment projection is necessary to inform the feasibility study and design so that
the resulting school building project is right-sized. By projecting realistic enrollments and building appropriately
sized schools, the MSBA is better able to equitably allocate its resources across the Commonwealth. To date, the stan-
dard enrollment methodology has avoided over $74.5 million in construction costs from overly optimistic and unveri-
fied enrollment projections.

2010 Needs Survey
Technology
In 2005, the Massachusetts Legislature invested $1.25 million at the Lilla G. Frederick Pilot Middle School in an ef-
fort to improve access to technology and increase achievement at the Dorchester school. With input from the Massa-
chusetts Technology Collaborative, the City of Boston, community stakeholders and private technology companies,
the students at the Lilla G. Frederick Pilot Middle School now boast a 1:1 student-to-laptop ratio in addition to a fully
wireless school facility. Additional funds were used to improve wireless networks within the community and to teach
parents to use basic computer applications. According to a case study by Intel Corporation, one of the sponsors of the
pilot program, discipline, attendance and achievement have markedly improved since the implementation of the pro-
gram.*
The Lilla G. Frederick case study is evidence that access to technology when combined with community and parent
involvement can have a positive effect on educational outcomes for public school children. While most schools in the
Commonwealth do not provide laptops to every student, the majority of schools do have the infrastructure necessary
to support a 21st century learning environment. The Needs Survey revealed that schools in Massachusetts use a vari-
ety of approaches to integrating technology into the classroom. Most schools, 83.8%, have computers for student use
in all or most of their classrooms. Other schools, however, prefer to make computers available to students in dedicated
computer labs, media centers or via laptops on a cart, when necessary. The vast majority of schools, more than 96%,
have access to the Internet and more than one-quarter of those schools are fully wireless.
In addition to the availability of computers and access to the Internet, assessors also noted the use of overhead projec-
tors, interactive whiteboards and other technologies in order to determine whether the technology in use was robust
and appropriate for the grades served. The Needs Survey identified only 76 schools, just over 4%, whose technology
systems may require significant upgrades.
In some cases, the district’s ability to provide a robust technology program was hampered by the building infrastruc-
ture, particularly inadequacies in the electrical systems of older buildings. Insufficient electrical capacity and/or too
few outlets and data drops can limit the ability of school districts to integrate technology into the curriculum to the
degree they would otherwise prefer. Of the schools whose technology systems were rated the poorest, the average
building age was 65 years, and nearly one-third were reported to have electrical systems that may require major up-
grades, repair or replacement.
Although decisions about the technology component of a school’s educational program remain local in nature, the
MSBA works with school districts on approved projects to understand how they integrate technology into the curricu-
lum so that the project scope will support that piece of the school’s educational program. The MSBA supports the
State’s technology standards and encourages districts to develop Technology Plans so that the MSBA can work more
effectively with school districts on approved projects to achieve their technology goals and integrate the appropriate
infrastructure into the school design. The MSBA’s grant program also includes a per student allowance of $1,200 to
offset the costs of technology equipment for approved new construction projects.

Core Spaces
Core spaces are those that the entire student body will use at some point of the day or week and, based on the type of
school, are generally considered necessary to support the educational program of the school. These typically include
libraries / media centers, gymnasiums, cafeterias and for high schools, auditoriums. Over 86% of the schools include
a library / media center, approximately 77% include a gymnasium, approximately 86% maintain a cafeteria, while
about 10% contain a multi-purpose room which may be utilized for one or more of the above uses. In addition, about
35% of schools contain an auditorium, providing a statewide total of 312,032 seats.
The table on the opposite page illustrates the number of common spaces and the number of auditoriums and their
seating capacity. There are several reasons why some schools may not maintain a library, cafeteria or gymnasium.
These include, but are not limited to:
• There are 166 schools that share buildings or common spaces. Two or more schools sharing the same
campus may also share a library, cafeteria or gymnasium. These schools include a number of schools
that the DESE and the local school district consider separate schools, to which they assign separate ad-
ministrative numbers, even though they are co-located within the same physical structure.
• Of the schools that do not have a gymnasium, cafeteria or library/media center, the vast majority have
access to those facilities at an adjacent school or public facility. In urban districts, for example, it is not
uncommon for students to use the public library or to have physical education at the local YMCA or
community center.
• Some specialized programs may not require certain spaces. For example, an early childhood center may
not require a cafeteria because the children do not eat lunch at school or an alternative program may not
require a full library because library resources are available in a different setting or nearby in the com-
munity.
• A multi-purpose room may be utilized as the gymnasium, cafeteria and/or auditorium.

2010 Needs Survey
Maintenance
A vital component of the MSBA’s grant program is to protect the $20 billion investment the Commonwealth has
made over the last 25 years in school construction and renovation projects. Districts must demonstrate that they have
met certain maintenance criteria based on industry best practices as a prerequisite to MSBA funding. The 2010 Needs
Survey included a general evaluation of the maintenance in three areas:
General Cleanliness: Assessors rated the school on cleanliness by observing hallways, classrooms, core areas, sup-
port spaces and the site.
Routine Systems Maintenance: Assessors rated the school on routine maintenance by observing the conditions of
the site and building systems for indications of routine attention and repair. Facilities staff also provided informa-
tion about routine maintenance practices at the school. Routine maintenance includes repair and replacement of
broken windows, plumbing fixtures or stained ceiling tiles as well as painting and other regular and ongoing
maintenance practices.
Capital Repair: Assessors rated the school on capital repair based on the age and condition of the systems and the
history of capital repairs at the school to determine if equipment, systems and finishes are being repaired or re-
placed as needed. Capital maintenance includes replacement or upgrades to major building or site systems such as
HVAC replacements, lighting upgrades, parking lot repavement and abatement of asbestos-containing floor mate-
rials.
Maintenance in each category was rated as average, above average or below average. The vast majority of school
buildings in Massachusetts received an average rating, meaning that the school, district and facilities personnel are
putting forth at least the minimal effort required to clean the buildings, maintain the systems and address capital re-
pairs.
• Only 3.6% of schools had above average maintenance in all three categories.
• Approximately 1.0% of schools were determined to have inadequate maintenance practices.
• Schools within the same district could have dramatically different maintenance practices and ratings.
• Good maintenance was unrelated to the relative wealth of the community. Below average maintenance
was discovered in some of the most affluent communities while above average maintenance was noted
in some of the poorest.
Building Conditions and Maintenance
The average building conditions score for all schools is 1.63 on a 1 to 4 scale, where 1 represents the best building
systems conditions. For schools who received Above Average Maintenance scores for Capital Repair and Routine
Systems Maintenance, the average building conditions score was an impressive 1.20. Not surprisingly, schools that
received Below Average Maintenance in those maintenance categories were in significantly worse condition and re-
ceived an average 2.67 building conditions score.
Of the 23 schools that received a building conditions rating of 4, nearly one-third earned below average maintenance
ratings for Capital Repair or Routine Systems maintenance.

Maintenance Incentive Points

MSBA-approved projects for new construction or addition/renovation may be eligible for up to 2.00 Maintenance
Rating incentive reimbursement points if the MSBA, in its sole discretion, determines that the city, town or regional
school district has exhibited best practices for routine and capital maintenance and upkeep of its school facilities.
The Needs Survey maintenance ratings result from the observations of assessors and general information provided by
school and facilities personnel, but are not the sole criteria upon which the MSBA’s decision to award any Mainte-
nance Rating incentive reimbursement points is based.
The MSBA’s maintenance evaluation system for the Maintenance Rating incentive reimbursement points is based on
the MSBA’s assessment of the district’s performance on 20 maintenance best practices. The methodology bases the
allocation of points on how many of the 20 best practices the district performs and the MSBA’s assessment of how
well they are performed by the district. The 20 best practices are as follows:
Staff Training – Appropriateness and quality of staff training
Written Maintenance Manual – Use and quality of a written maintenance manual of minimum custodial
and routine maintenance standards
Preventative/Predictive Maintenance Plan – Use and quality of a detailed preventive and/or predictive
maintenance plan including schedules and checklists for defined tasks, inspections and dates for maintenance
activities
Work Order System – Use and quality of a work order system (manual or computerized) that defines the
process for scheduling planned maintenance and/or maintenance emergencies and evidence of effective im-
plementation
Maintenance Budgets and Expenditures – review of the past 3 years of maintenance budgets and expendi-
tures to determine the consistency and adequate level of maintenance funding
Periodic Inspections – Consistent and scheduled periodic inspections of key building components
Visual Observations of Routine Maintenance – The results of routine maintenance efforts as evident by
visual observation from the Needs Survey and/or other visits by MSBA staff
Visual Observations of Cleanliness – The result of attentive custodial care as evident by observation of the
building(s) cleanliness from the Needs Survey and/or other visits by MSBA staff
Visual Observations of Capital Maintenance – The results of prior capital repairs/replacements as evident
from visual observations from the Needs Survey and/or other visits by MSBA staff
Facility Condition Index and Inventory – Use of a facilities condition index (FCI) or building audit/
inventory of buildings, detailing major system components, age, condition, useful life to guide capital plan-
ning and repairs
Historical Capital Plan – demonstrated historical use of a capital plan and funding and implementation of
the plan
Future Capital Plan – Use of a future long term 5-10 year budgeted capital plan
Facility Staff participation in Capital Projects – Consistent participation by facilities staff in capital pro-
jects (i.e., participation in project meetings/design review and ongoing throughout planning, design and con-
struction process)
Segregated Local Capital Projects Fund – Creation and use of segregated local funds reserved for use on
capital projects

Vocational-Technical High Schools

There are 55 vocational technical and agricultural high schools in Massachusetts. This number includes 30 regional
vocational technical and agricultural high schools and 25 vocational technical and comprehensive high schools that
primarily serve the students of a single community like Boston’s Madison Park or Chicopee Comprehensive High
School. The unique building needs and specialized programs offered at these schools present a variety of challenges to
consider when studying and planning any capital improvement project.
Size
Vocational Technical High Schools in Massachusetts have an average area of 291,907 GSF, compared with an aver-
age of 155,068 GSF at traditional academic high schools. The large shop spaces needed to accommodate a robust vo-
cational program result in schools that are more than 80% larger on average than their purely academic counterparts.
Not surprisingly, even repairs to single building systems like roofs, windows and HVAC systems in buildings of this
size can be expensive undertakings.
Building Systems
Vocational Technical High Schools may require more thoughtful design of acoustical elements and building systems,
particularly electrical, plumbing and ventilation, in order to support the vocational program and ensure a safe and
healthy physical environment.
Enrollment
Although applications to many Vocational Technical High Schools may exceed available space, these high schools are
less subject to concerns about overcrowding than purely academic high schools because of their ability to limit their
enrollment. Enrollment issues are more likely to spring from an inability to support enrollment within particular com-
ponents of the educational program. For example, there may be higher demand for biotech classes than the school can
support with either its current space configuration or teaching staff, with the result that students may not be placed in
their preferred vocational program.
Trends in Vocational Education

Vocational Technical High Schools must be responsive to changes in the complexion of the job market and offer pro-
grams that prepare their graduates for a 21st century economy. Programs that used to draw a large number of appli-
cants, like machining, are being replaced by programs in other disciplines, like health services and information tech-
nology.
Community Support
Like other regional school districts, regional Vocational Technical High Schools rely on their member communities to
provide financial support for their capital improvement needs. However, unlike the typical regional school district that
may have two or three member towns, some Vocational Technical High Schools in the state draw students from more
than a dozen cities and towns. Soliciting support for needed, but often expensive repairs, renovations and construction
projects from that many communities can be a daunting task, especially if the individual members also have pressing
capital needs at their local schools. Vocational Technical High School administrators and building committees must

be especially proactive in developing a thoughtful,

comprehensive and organized campaign to inform each
community about the scope and costs of any potential
project in order to secure local funding.

2010 Needs Survey
Health, Safety and Accessibility
Fire and Life Safety

The Needs Survey was not intended to be a comprehensive code review of fire and life safety equipment at Massachu-
setts public schools. Instead, assessors were asked to note the presence and general condition of typical safety equip-
ment, including smoke detectors, fire alarms, sprinklers, emergency lighting and backup generators as well as ADA-
compliant devices like audible/visual alarms.
Only 5% or 89 schools, with an average age of 65 years, received poor ratings for fire and life safety. Of those
schools, nearly two-thirds also received poor ratings for their overall building conditions.
Indoor Air Quality Management

Nearly 24% of the 329 school districts reported that they utilize the Environmental Protection Agency’s IAQ Tools for
Schools, a no-cost program that provides information, materials and tools to district, school and facilities personnel to
help them develop and implement an indoor air quality management program. In addition, more than three-quarters
have Health and Safety committees that work to prevent and address health and safety issues that affect the schools in
their districts.
Security Systems
Locked entryways with buzzers and cameras are common features at the vast majority of schools in the Common-
wealth. In addition, nine out of every ten schools have intrusion alarms and almost half employ full security camera
coverage and motion sensors. Nearly 11% of schools, primarily larger middle schools, high schools, and vocational
technical schools, have full-time security staff on site while just over 2% use metal detectors.
School Nurses
More than 83% percent of all schools reported having one or more full-time nurses on site during the school day. An-
other 12% had part-time nursing staff available. A handful of schools, mostly in urban settings, employed on-call
nurses who were responsible for covering several schools within the district. Only 1% of Massachusetts public schools
reported having neither full nor part-time nursing staff on-site.
Accessibility
Most schools in Massachusetts are at least moderately accessible to students, staff and parents with physical disabili-
ties. As you would expect, schools built or significantly renovated within the last decade were more fully accessible
than older buildings. Overall, approximately 314 school buildings and 255 school sites were deemed to be either inac-
cessible or minimally accessible to persons with physical disabilities.

Appendix II
MSBA School Building Project Grant Application Process

Since July 1, 2007, the MSBA has been authorized to accept grant applications for school construction and renovation
projects and to review those applications based on the fiscal and educational requirements of Chapter 70B of the Gen-
eral Laws.
A critical element of the application process for any city, town or regional school district interested in applying for
funds is to provide the MSBA with a Statement of Interest (SOI) that clearly and concisely identifies the local per-
spective about deficiencies in a school facility. Districts must file an SOI before the MSBA will determine whether a
school project merits consideration for funding. Based on the Needs Survey data and the information provided in the
SOI, the MSBA may determine that further assessment or review of the school is necessary. If so, the MSBA will
send a team of MSBA staff, professional architects and engineers, and other building professionals to conduct the re-
view.
The application process requires that the MSBA and the city, town or regional school district agree first on the prob-
lem and then work collaboratively on creating a solution to the problem. As a condition for funding, the MSBA re-
quires a city, town or regional school district to work in conjunction with the MSBA throughout all stages of a project,
beginning with the identification of deficiencies in school facilities.
In addition, section 6 of chapter 70B establishes the parameters under which the MSBA must consider approval of
school projects for the grant program. According to statute, the MSBA must make a finding that the approved school
project fits within both the available funding and the MSBA’s long-term capital plan, and that it conforms to the pri-
orities established in section 8, the construction standards and procedures under chapter 70B, other state laws, the
rules and regulations of the MSBA, and the following criteria:
• The school project is in the best interests of the Commonwealth and the eligible applicant, with respect to its
site, type of construction, sufficiency of accommodations, open space preservation, urban development, urban
sprawl, energy efficiency, and otherwise.
• The school project is necessary to meet educational standards of the curriculum frameworks established by the
Board of Education pursuant to section 1E of chapter 69 for anticipated enrollment levels.
• The school project has a value over its useful life commensurate with the lifecycle cost of building, operating,
and maintaining the project.
• The school project is not at a school that has been the site of an approved school project pursuant to this chapter
or to chapter 645 of the acts of 1948 within the 10 years prior to the project application date, or the approved
school project is unrelated to such previously approved project in the same school.
• The school project is within the capacity of the MSBA to finance within revenues projected to be available to
the trust, established pursuant to section 35BB of chapter 10.
The Commissioner of Education has certified that adequate provisions have been made in the school project for chil-
dren with disabilities, as defined in section 1 of chapter 71B, and, in the case of elementary facilities, that adequate
provisions consistent with local policy have been made for all-day kindergarten, pre-kindergarten classes and for ex-
tended day programs; provided, however, that no district shall be required to adopt the classes or programs.
The statute which created the MSBA places tremendous emphasis on planning, due diligence, and the prioritization of
scarce MSBA resources first on the school building projects which demonstrate the most need. The 2010 Needs Sur-
vey results are an important look at the current condition of school facilities that may meet the statutory priorities for
funding from the MSBA.

2010 Needs Survey
Appendix III
Process and Methodology

The 2010 Needs Survey required months to plan and execute. The process began with developing a clear understand-
ing of the goals and objectives of the project as well as defining the scope, tasks and deliverables associated with the
massive effort of collecting data for approximately 1,750 schools statewide. Based on the goals, objectives, scope and
deliverables, a project plan and timeline was developed. The project plan delineated the critical actions and proce-
dures necessary to effectuate the successful and timely completion of the project.
Goals
The primary goal of the 2010 Needs Survey was to provide an updated database of facility-related information for the
more than 1,750 public K-12 schools in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Assessment teams visited all school
buildings, collected baseline facility data using a standardized survey tool, and assessed space utilization, general en-
vironment, maintenance practices and the general condition of seven site and 18 building systems.
The survey tool used to collect the data was based on the program requirements identified by the MSBA. The asses-
sors used the survey tool to collect a comprehensive matrix of standardized data, (school size, age, use, building type,
HVAC system, etc.), and review various building and site systems to generate a snapshot of each facility’s use and
condition.

2010 Needs Survey
Phase 1.0 Project Initiation

The Project Initiation phase of the Needs Survey began
in February 2010. At a series of preliminary planning
meetings, the MSBA and its independent consultant,
STV, Inc. (“STV”), developed and refined the survey’s
scope, timeline and objectives, identified key staff
members and assigned assessors to each of six plan-
ning regions. One of the project goals identified early
in this phase was to have design and engineering pro-
fessionals perform the assessments of the schools.
STV worked diligently to identify and retain profes-
sional architects and engineers who had the requisite
skills and experience to perform the statewide data
collection.
Boston Latin School, Boston, MA.
Other initial discussions included a review of the les-
sons learned during the 2005 Needs Survey and the
development of a comprehensive plan for communicat-
ing with district, school and local officials about the
purpose and logistics of assessing the conditions at the
school facilities in their communities. During this
phase, various approaches to data collection were
evaluated and the final data collection methodology
was determined.
Phase 2.0 Survey Development and

Planning
Survey Development and Planning took place over a
six-week period and included in-depth discussions
about the breadth of data to be collected as well as the
tools necessary to collect, store, analyze and report the
information. Steps achieved during this phase included:
• Conducting a gap analysis of the data collected
in 2005 to determine what data was still valid,
what data needed to be validated or updated and
what new data needed to be collected.
• Developing the survey tool, which included the
creation of standard questionnaires to gather data
on the following:
• The condition of seven site and 18 build-
ing systems;

2010 Needs Survey
• The conditions that affect the general physical environment;

• The availability and current use of general classrooms, specialized educational spaces, science and tech-
nology classrooms and core facilities (libraries, gyms, cafeterias and auditoriums);
• Maintenance practices, including general cleanliness, routine maintenance and capital repair;
• Identification of any obvious structural deficiencies that require immediate attention of the district; and
• Space utilization practices.
• Developing and testing a custom database and survey tool, designed and built by the MSBA to capture the in-
formation collected by the assessment teams. The MSBA, with input from STV and Magellan Consultants,
updated and used portions of the 2005 Needs Survey database and survey tool where appropriate and developed
new functionality where required for the 2010 Needs Survey. The survey tool consisted of paper data collection
forms and custom web and Windows applications.
• Identifying general reference documents, including, the paper data collection form, photographs of the main
façade and floor plans for each facility to be uploaded to the MSBA database as part of the record for each
school.
• Creating a written training manual and training plan to ensure consistent and accurate data collection and
evaluation. The training plan included both in-class and on-site training for all assessors, and the training man-
ual was written and drafted to serve a dual purpose – assessors used it as a standard reference guide throughout
the assessment process.
• Developing an in-depth and detailed written quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) plan to ensure that data
was accurately gathered and entered into the database. The QC/QC plan included multi-layered reviews and
regular testing of the data as well as periodic in-field reviews of assessors by senior project staff and the devel-
opment of data queries and other tests to identify anomalous or missing data and data that fell outside of normal
ranges.
• Implementing a communications and public outreach plan that included a web-based informational seminar,
launch letters and Frequently-Asked-Questions (FAQs) that were sent to cities, towns, regional school districts,
legislators and media outlets.

2010 Needs Survey
Phase 3.0 Data Collection

Phase 3.0 began with a five-day in-depth assessor training, conducted by STV and Magellan. The training was based
on the written training manual and encompassed both classroom and field training. During the in-field training, asses-
sors learned to rate various building and site conditions consistently using the training manual as a guide. They were
also able to use the survey tool in real-world situations, and learn how to upload the information collected to the
MSBA’s database. Seven schools of various ages, square footage, grade configurations and building conditions were
chosen for the in-field training. At these seven “Rosetta Stone” schools, each assessor performed his/her individual
assessment and once finished, data comparison sessions were held to identify and discuss instances where data was
gathered or recorded differently. During the course of assessing the seven schools, each of the assessor’s data gather-
ing, recording and rating skills became more consistent.
Throughout the Data Collection phase, STV employed a team of in-house schedulers who were responsible for coordi-
nating site visits at more than 1,750 schools in all regions of the Commonwealth. Two weeks prior to the proposed
visit, schedulers contacted the district superintendent’s office to review the assessment process and review the materi-
als that should be prepared in advance of the visit. The Superintendent distributed this information to the schools and

confirmed dates and times with each of those schools. Once the schedule for a particular week was finalized, each
assessor received a final schedule, including the name and telephone number of each school’s contact person. The
schedule was also provided to media outlets and legislators.
The Needs Survey involved two assessments: a district-level assessment to identify the current school inventory and
other district-wide data; and, a school-level evaluation conducted using a detailed survey questionnaire. At the district
level, assessors met with the Superintendent or a designee and gathered information that included:
• Contact Information for District officials
• Dates of District Master Plans, if any
• Limited questions about Health and Safety initiatives in the District
• Number of District-Owned former school buildings
• Shared campuses
At the school level, assessors interviewed school personnel and maintenance and custodial staff, toured the building
and grounds and used the survey tool to collect a wealth of information about building systems conditions, general
physical environment, space utilization, maintenance practices and the presence of educational spaces, as more fully
described in the findings of the 2010 Needs Survey. The data collected was subject to a multi-tiered quality assurance/
quality control process to ensure that the information was as accurate as possible.
Magellan staff performed an initial quality review within 24 hours after an assessor had uploaded the data to the
MSBA database to ensure that data was complete, accurately gathered and properly entered into the database and to
identify data that fell outside of normal ranges. Quality reviewers emailed reports to assessors identifying data that
required corrections, clarification or completion. Once corrected, Magellan back checked the data and the process
repeated until it was found acceptable. Electronic copies of the handwritten survey questionnaires and the quality
review reports were then uploaded to the MSBA database.
At the beginning of each school visit, the assessors reviewed the floor plans of the school with school administrators,
who identified the current usage of classroom spaces. The floor plans allow the MSBA to understand how the discreet
spaces within an individual school are used to deliver the educational program. The floor plans were collected and
uploaded to the MSBA database and serve as a reference document for MSBA staff.
As part of the data collection efforts, STV collected, catalogued and uploaded a photograph of the main façade of each
school to the MSBA database. Existing photos from the 2005 Needs Survey, 2007 Facility and Maintenance Assess-
ments and 2007-2010 Senior Studies were reviewed for quality and uploaded. New photos were obtained for recently
built schools or to replace existing photos, when appropriate.
Throughout the Data Collection phase, the assessors and key staff from STV, Magellan and the MSBA held weekly
meetings to review the progress and status of assessments, data uploads and quality reviews and to discuss and resolve
problems encountered in the field. These meetings provided a forum to address, revise or clarify issues with the sur-
vey tool as well as troubleshoot computer or database problems.
At the completion of the Data Collection phase, the MSBA and STV undertook separate random samplings of the data
to identify any patterns of inconsistencies or inaccuracies. Data from approximately 350 schools, or 20% of those vis-
ited, were reviewed as part of this effort. In addition, senior STV and MSBA staff conducted about a dozen follow-up
site visits at schools in several communities as yet another check on the quality and accuracy of the data collected.
Finally, Superintendents from each District were given an opportunity to review the Needs Survey factual data and to
provide comments to the MSBA.

2010 Needs Survey
Phase 4.0 Analysis and Reporting

Concurrently with the Data Collection phase, the
MSBA, working with STV and Magellan, began the
work of analyzing the school facilities information. A
detailed scoring methodology was developed to calcu-
late comparative ratings for each school in three cate-
gories: Building Systems Conditions, General Physical
Environment and Space Utilization. Each of these rat-
ings was generated using dozens of individual pieces of
data. Once the scoring methodology had been refined
and tested, the MSBA and STV began a more thorough
analysis of the data. Magellan worked with the MSBA
to develop and produce tables and graphs to represent
specific data points and key findings, while the MSBA

with input from STV crafted the draft and final report
of the Needs Survey’s findings.
Phase 5.0 Project Closeout

Phase 5.0 includes the publication and distribution of
the final report of the 2010 Needs Survey and public
presentation of its key findings. The report is available
