CEFP 2020 Kickoff

The School Building Authority and the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) are excited to announce the kickoff of the 2020 comprehensive educational facilities plan (CEFP) planning process.  County boards of education are required by law to have an approved ten-year CEFP active and on file with the WVDE and the SBA.  Since the last planning cycle concluded in 2010, several counties have amended their CEFP to reflect completed projects and changes in the educational philosophy adopted by the local board.  However, county boards are required to revisit all previous data and formulate a new CEFP every ten years.  

It is imperative that the planning process for the new CEFP will be well organized and properly sequenced to ensure positive results.  To help in achieving this goal, the state has partnered with two contractors, Dude Solutions and Alpha Facilities Solutions.  Dude Solutions will provide framework and database to digitally house all information gathered. They will also be providing proprietary package of software tools that include Dude Connect and Capital Forecast Direct to provide accurate and relevant data in the decision-making process.  Alpha Facilities Solutions will provide evaluation instruments as well as a service of standardization and quality for the facility evaluations that will be completed by your county’s architect and/or planning consultant.  The cost for each of these contractors has been covered by both the WVDE and the SBA.
