DPSCD Facility Master Plan Update In 2019, Detroit Public Schools Community District had conversations with the community about the status of DPSCD's facilities. We held a series of community conversations and heard about priorities for our facilities. Today, we continue this work and share with you a 20-year vision for DPSCD's facilities and a series of investments to help us achieve that vision. We invite you to learn more, get involved by attending an upcoming community meeting, and share your thoughts by completing a brief online survey.
Through the Facility Master Plan (FMP), DPSCD proposes to:
- Invest $700M in federal relief funds to make one-time investments in our facilities to improve buildings to best serve our students and families.
- Offer our families improved indoor and outdoor spaces to support high-quality programs throughout the District, and provide the facilities needed to fully live out the District's vision and strategic priorities.
- Make a strong initial investment for our long-term facility's needs – which total over $2 billion – by making the most important, catalytic investments that will set our district on a path of long-term sustainability.
