New Construction - Facilities History

HISTORY OF MILFORD SCHOOL FACILITIES

BACKGROUND

Milford Exempted Village School District has a Master Facilities Plan (MFP), a long-term plan for district facilities. Milford's MFP was created in 2000 with input from the community and has been in place and evolved for more than 20 years.

Over the course of its development, the MFP identified several areas of need: neighborhood elementary schools, transitioning preschool services into a new building, renovations to the high school, and replacing the junior high school.

MASTER FACILITIES PLAN PHASES:

PHASE ONE - Elementary Schools - COMPLETE
PHASE TWO - High School Renovations - PARTIALLY COMPLETE, NO CURRENT PLANS TO PROCEED
PHASE THREE - Middle School Replacement/Preschool Relocation - IN PROCESS
