Currently, the 49 schools and student centers operating within the school division have an average age of more than 50 years.</p> <p>As part of these efforts, Cooperative Strategies examined each school’s building utilization as well as the current and projected enrollment. HBA Architecture completed a school-by-school condition assessment.&nbsp;A steering committee comprised of parents, community members and NPS staff provided input to inform the development of the master plan.</p> <p>This process resulted in a comprehensive report from Cooperative Strategies. <a href="https://www.npsk12.com/cms/lib/VA02208074/Centricity/Domain/4764/NPS_FinalReport_20210706%20from%20Matt.pdf">Click here</a> to view the full, 255-page report submitted in July 2021.</p> <p>The School Board of the City of Norfolk reviewed a facilities master plan at its <a href="/cms/lib/VA02208074/Centricity/Domain/4764/NPS_BoardPres_July7_rev1.pdf">meeting on July 7, 2021</a>.
