The Pre-CIP Report, formerly the Arlington Facilities and Student Accommodation Plan (AFSAP), is produced every two years to help APS reevaluate enrollment and school capacity projections to identify any needs that have changed to ensure all students learn and thrive in safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments. It is the first step in the School Board’s process to shape priorities and identify adjustments for the following Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The 2023 Pre-CIP Report will be considered in the development of the FY2025-34 CIP. The contents and timeline for the Pre-CIP Report allow time for stakeholders and the public to review and provide input on these recommendations. The report will also identify all projects with potential engagement processes that will occur during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years.
This report is also informed by and supports other APS reports, including the 10-Year Enrollment Projections, Enrollment Management Plan, Spring Update to Projections.
All Arlington Public Schools (APS) budget and operations decisions are based on the best information available at the time. APS and community members are reminded that funding forecasts from Arlington County and the state may change, based on many external factors. Similarly, student enrollment and projections are based on the best available information, but are also subject to change due to employment, housing, and other economic factors. For these reasons, APS and the Arlington School Board may adjust future budget allocations, staffing, and other operations decisions to reflect the existing community and operating landscape.
