Schools being built in Palm Beach County today are not only expected to comply with Class Size Reduction (CSR) mandates, but must also provide an appropriate learning environment for children through the year 2040.  Additionally, during a school building's lifetime, it must be sufficiently expandable, contractible and adaptable enough to effectively respond to constantly changing demographic and economic conditions.  As new schools are built in growing communities to address space needs, funds must also be dedicated to revitalizing and preserving existing schools in older communities as well.  It is important to remember that older neighborhoods depend on quality schools, which serve as key elements in the health and economic vitality of many communities.
