Master Facilities Plan
The South Euclid-Lyndhurst Schools Master Facilities Plan is a strategic roadmap designed to ensure that our buildings remain safe, functional, and conducive to high-quality education. By prioritizing fiscal responsibility, proactive maintenance, and a commitment to providing comfortable spaces for students and staff, we aim to create an educational environment that supports success, fosters innovation, and reflects the values of our community. This plan will guide our efforts to preserve and enhance our facilities, ensuring they remain a source of pride and opportunity for decades to come.
To achieve this plan, the district will:
- Maintain and update district buildings to a high standard to allow for quality education in comfortable environments for students and staff.
- Implement a strategic maintenance schedule to prevent premature wear and systems failures, extend the usability of facilities, avoid costly emergency repairs, and allow for intentional decision-making about the long-term future of district facilities.
- Allocate resources efficiently to ensure a balance between short-term needs and long-term improvements and sustainability.
- Monitor and improve energy usage to optimize efficiency and reduce cost over the long term where possible.
- Engage in transparent communication with students, staff, and the community.
As a result of this Master Facilities Plan, the district has proposed four initial phases, to be implemented over the next 5-7 years:
Phase One
Priorities:
- Address HVAC/Comfort Issues at Brush High School

- Renovations at Southlyn for SEL Preschool
- Prioritized District Facility Needs

Phase Three

*All four phases will be funded using Permanent Improvement funds approved by voters in both 2020 and 2025.
Planning Process
The SEL Schools identified a need for a comprehensive review of facilities and an updated Master Facilities Plan in the summer of 2024.
The district worked with Ameresco, who provided a comprehensive facilities audit at no cost to the district. A review of this process can be found in documentation to the right.
Feedback was also gathered from building, custodial, and service department staff and transportation.
Master Facilities Plan Progress
The phases of the Master Facilities Plan will continue over the coming years. Progress may include contract negotiations, Board of Education approval, community input, and repair/renovation work. See below for progress updates, if available, for each phase of the Master Facilities Plan:
