Citizens’ Facility Advisory Committee

A group of stakeholders who have come together to evaluate the district’s facilities to provide facility and equipment recommendations to the Duncanville ISD Board of Trustees. The committee will evaluate aging and evolving building needs, programmatic needs, as well as projected enrollment.

The district believes in creating a collaborative culture in which all stakeholders may be a part of discussions regarding the district’s future. The district wants input in evaluating its facility needs and by forming a committee it allows the district to hear from and incorporate many different perspectives from people in the Duncanville ISD community. Committee participants reflect larger community values, needs, and desires.

The Citizens’ Facility Advisory Committee represents a diverse demographic makeup of Duncanville ISD residents, including students, parents, non-parents, grandparents, local civic and business leaders, as well as school and district staff. These committee members work alongside one another to prioritize and build a recommendation to the Board of Trustees that best represents the values and perceptions of the entire community.

Committee members are studying current building conditions and functionality, enrollment projections, financial data, and results of a community survey in order to form their recommendation. As additional relevant information and data is requested or becomes available, it will be shared with the committee members.

The Citizens’ Facility Advisory Committee process is designed to be transparent. Meeting notes, presentations, and agendas will be posted for each meeting. Non-committee members are also welcome to submit their recommendations and/or comments via this survey link. Questions and comments will be shared with the committee members and Duncanville ISD administration.

Duncanville ISD’s motto is WRITING SUCCESS STORIES, ONE STUDENT AT A TIME, and that means planning and managing the district in a way that meets each child’s needs. Our vision is to be the district where dreams are inspired and excellence is achieved. In order to realize our vision, we must plan for the future, maintain our facilities, and ensure we have the funding needed to provide modern learning spaces and experiences for our students. The students of Duncanville ISD are fortunate that the voters of our community share this passion for quality schools by passing our last bond referendum in 2014, to provide the tools and facilities our students and teachers need to succeed. As our facilities continue to age, we will continue to update our master facility plan to ensure our spaces meet the current requirements and expectations of the communities we serve. We appreciate the ongoing support of the Duncanville ISD community and remain committed to making sure bond funds are spent wisely and efficiently.
