The Planning Guide has been developed to help readers better understand why and how to develop, implement, and evaluate a facilities maintenance plan. It focuses on school facility maintenance as a vital task in the responsible management of an education organization, the needs of an education audience, strategies and procedures for planning, implementing, and evaluating effective maintenance programs. The Planning Guide provides a process to be followed, rather than a canned set of “one size fits all” solutions and provides recommendations based on “best practices”, rather than mandates.
