Nearly half of district leaders struggle to complete facilities projects on time and within budget, according to the latest installment of research from District Administration and Gordian. These new findings come as school districts already face growing pressure to modernize facilities, address aging infrastructure, and create safe, future-ready learning environments, with funding limitations and approval delays making that work even more difficult.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how districts can bridge the gap between capital planning and project delivery to help leaders prioritize investments, accelerate project timelines and maximize every capital dollar.

Learning Objectives:

• Two Years of District Research: What findings from two surveys conducted from 2025 to 2026 reveal about the facilities challenges districts are facing and how priorities are evolving. 
• Overcoming Barriers: Identify common obstacles leading to project delays, budget overruns, and deferred facility needs in K-12 districts. 
• Prioritizing with Confidence: Connect long-range facility planning with capital budgeting and funding strategies to support better decision-making 
• Making Every Capital Dollar Count: Understand how facility assessments, capital plans, budgets and project execution should intertwine to ensure optimal strategic capital investment.
