Facility Master Plans

Continually Improving

The Western Placer Unified School District is growing at a rapid rate. It is our goal to work closely with the City of Lincoln in maintaining a Facilities Master Plan that will appropriately serve the students living within the WPUSD boundary area.  

Currently In Review: 2026 Facilities Master Plan

In the fall of 2025, we reconvened our Facilities Needs Committee — a long-standing group that helps us engage staff, families, and community members around the realities of maintaining and improving our school facilities. 

In 2021-2022, this committee was vital in updating WPUSD’s Facilities Master Plan (FMP) — our roadmap for keeping schools modern, addressing growth, and ensuring safe, effective learning environments. With new housing developments, shifting boundaries, and rising enrollment, it’s time to update the FMP again. Regular updates ensure the plan remains relevant and prioritizes the district’s most critical facility needs.

Community Voices Helping Shape the Future of WPUSD Facilities

In 2025, Western Placer Unified School District reconvened its Facilities Needs Committee (FNC) as part of the process to update the District's Facilities Master Plan.

The committee brought together more than 80 stakeholders representing a broad cross-section of the WPUSD community, including parents, staff, students, business leaders, local partners, and community members. Their charge was to review the District's current and future facility needs, evaluate facility conditions across campuses, and help identify priorities that will best serve students for years to come.

Throughout the year, committee members participated in presentations, facility tours, data reviews, and collaborative discussions focused on topics such as:

  • Enrollment trends and future growth projections
  • The condition and age of district facilities
  • Safety, accessibility, and infrastructure needs
  • Capacity challenges and long-term planning
  • Existing funding sources and facility financing
  • Priorities identified in previous Facilities Master Plans

Committee members examined both current needs and future challenges facing the District. Particular attention was given to aging campuses and infrastructure systems, including roofs, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC equipment, accessibility improvements, and other facility needs that impact the learning environment.

Committee Recommendations

Over the course of a year, the Facilities Needs Committee evaluated facility conditions, enrollment trends, growth projections, and funding challenges facing WPUSD. Through this process, the committee developed five recommendations to help guide the District's 2026 Facilities Master Plan.

The committee recommended that the District:

  • Maximize existing school capacity before constructing new facilities
  • Prioritize support service facilities, including maintenance, transportation, warehouse, and food service facilities
  • Explore long-term funding solutions to address major facility needs
  • Continue pursuing developer contributions to help offset the impacts of growth
  • Expand community outreach and education regarding school facility needs and funding challenges

These recommendations represent the collective voice of more than 80 community members, parents, staff, business leaders, and local partners who participated in the Facilities Needs Committee. The recommendations will help inform the completion of the 2026 Facilities Master Plan.

2022 Facilities Master Plan 

Western Placer Unified School District's Facilities Master Plan (FMP) is a 10-15 year plan consisting of the future needs and development of all schools, sites, and support facilities throughout the school district. The FMP is drafted together through a series of meetings with the Facilities Needs Committee (FNC), consisting of over 40 representatives from the community, city, parents, and staff. The FNC met on Nov 9th, Feb 10th, and March 2nd, where they collaborated and discussed some creative ideas to accommodate the fast growing needs of the district and current facilities/maintenance needs at the school sites. Some of the creative ideas discussed were the creation of a K-8 model due to the future middle school needs to accommodate residential development, revamping of Carlin C. Coppin, ways to enhance the two current high schools, introduction of a TK expansion program, and ways to support current district growth and facilities improvements. On March 22nd, the FNC took their final recommendations to the Board of Education in a five-hour study session, reviewing all ideas, thoughts, and needs of the district. The Board approved the recommendations and 2022 Facilities Master Plan on May 17, 2022.
