EFMP INTRODUCTION 1.1 WicomicoCounty Public School (WCPS) Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Capital Improvement Program consists of two integral components, the FY2025 Educational Facilities Master Plan (EFMP) and the upcoming FY2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The EFMP is part of the comprehensive Every Student Succeeds Act Consolidated Strategic Plan1 with the fundamental purpose to increase student achievement and eliminate learning gaps for all students in all schools. The EFMP more specifically studies the issues affecting our Wicomico County Public School (WCPS) facilities in detail and creates a framework for prioritizing and scheduling major school projects. This process takes place over the course of the entire fiscal year and continually evolves as information is gathered or becomes available. The development of the WCPS EFMP involves several contributors ranging from community organizations, local employers, surrounding local municipalities, board of education members, various WCPS staff as well as county departments and council representatives. This EFMP contains six (6) main categories (see Figure 1), which cover the eight (8) topics outlined by the Interagency Commission on School Construction. 1 https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/3724/WCPS/3159529/Wicomico_ESSA_Plan_12-15-22.pdf EFMP COMAR 14.39.02.02 Educational Goals Applicable Policies Community Analysis Facility Inventory Enrollment & Capacity Facility Needs 11
