EQUITY [ EK-WI-TEE ]

The quality of being fair or impartial; fairness; impartiality.

Equity is meeting the needs where people are, for what they're trying to do.

Equity means that options in a strategic climate will be based upon data that
equally applied to all facets of the community while driving towards the vision
developed by stakeholders in that community.

Equity means that all voices and sought, heard, and referenced in developing a
planning process. We listen to our stakeholders to hear their stories to know
where they've been and where they want to go before we begin any process.


SAFETY [ SEYF-TEE ] AND
SECURITY [ SI-KYOOR-I-TEE ]

The state of being safe; freedom from the occurrence or risk of injury, danger,
or loss.

Freedom from danger, risk, etc.; safety.

Student safety and security considers the whole day, every day of student need
and threats from low level risks that occur relatively frequently to the worst
case scenario that may never happen.

Safety and security does not allow a singular threat assessment to monopolize
the plan, but rather seeks to balance all known risks and ensures that the
resulting plan creates an environment that students and staff actually want to
be in while keeping them safe.


TRANSPORTATION [ TRANS-PER-TEY-SHUHN ]

The business of conveying people, goods, etc.

Transportation has implications for all your facility and capital plans.

Transportation is the logistical glue that keeps your school facility plans
together.

Transportation directors should be included in all strategic planning efforts so
that once a plan is complete it's easily actionable.


FINANCE [ FI-NANS ]

The management of revenues; the conduct or transaction of money matters
generally, especially those affecting the public, as in the fields of banking
and investment.

Cooperative Strategies’ team of financial advisors are here to guide you towards
the answers to questions local governments face every day.

We strive to help our clients efficiently manage their limited resources to meet
their mission and provide for their communities. Our local governments are on
the front line of the issues of the day and need the best thinking and tools
available.

When serving as financial advisor, Cooperative Strategies endeavors bring a
nationwide perspective with local expertise to customize solutions for our
clients.


CONDITION [ KUHN-DISH-UHN ]
ASSESSMENTS [ UH-SES-MUHNT ]

State of health: The act of assessing; appraisal; evaluation.

Understanding the condition of your facilities is a must as you plan for your
future capital needs.

Our condition assessments take a thorough look at all interior & exterior
building systems; as well as all site items using UNIFORMAT Level III.
Cooperative Strategies uses a proprietary assessment and reporting tool called
My Facility Informer. Our assessment team will identify each facility to be
assessed, noting year built, major renovations & additions, and any portables
that may exist prior to completing the assessment.

Our team also conducts safety, ADA, Information Technology, harmful substances,
and indoor air quality audits as requested. Once all deficiencies are
identified, a facility condition index (FCI = cost of deficiencies/cost of
replacement) score is calculated for each facility. Once all data has been
collected, our team will work with you to identify and prioritize your
facility’s needs.

This complex information is broken down into a simple interface and integrated
into an online dashboard for your community to view. My Facility Informer
provides three levels of information in our online dashboard to ensure your
community can easily access your condition data for all facilities. All
deficiencies are photo-documented and available to view in an online dashboard
so your stakeholders can see the real-time needs of your facilities.


CAPACITY [ KUH-PAS-I-TEE ]

The maximum amount or number that can be received or contained; cubic contents;
volume:

The true capacity of your school depends not only on how much space you have,
but how and when you use it. At Cooperative Strategies we make complicated
program and logistical factors easy to understand for all your stakeholders,
guiding consensus-building exercises that lead to effective planning.

We can visualize your capacity through each period of the day, analyze
strategies to improve efficiency, and help your team reimagine the use of space
and time. Simply put, a 21st Century facility operating with a 19th Century
capacity model will not work as designed.

Our experienced team takes great pride in helping you define and create
effective capacity solutions that support your educational goals.


COMMUNITY [ KUH-MYOO-NI-TEE ]
ENGAGEMENT [ EN-GEYJ-MUHNT ]

A locality inhabited by such a group.

the act of engaging or the state of being engaged; involvement:

Community engagement is not a box that we check but a way that we plan.

Community engagement starts by building awareness of the challenges faced while
receiving input on the vision for where the community is going and ultimately
providing feedback on the ways to get there.

Community engagement for us, is communicating what we have done and getting
folks on board with the challenges we're facing and how to address them so that
at the end of the planning effort the community is well aware of the plan, they
helped to develop the plan, it is OUR plan that we built together.


OWNER'S [ OH-NERS ] REPRESENTATION
[ REP-RI-ZEN-TEY-SHUHN ]

the person or company who represents the owner of a building or facility
project.

Cooperative Strategies knows that you as an “Owner” have many other
responsibilities to take care of in your current role. Adding a construction
project onto your plate is just not feasible. Our owner’s representative team
will serve as an extension of your staff throughout the entire project and
beyond. By providing hands-on support, Cooperative Strategies will ensure your
voice is heard throughout the visioning and design process as well as throughout
the entire project.

Cooperative Strategies has you covered from start to finish: Program and Scope
Development;Budget and Schedule Management;Consultant Selection and Contract
Negotiation/Management;Quality Assurance/Quality Control & On-site
Oversight;Project Closeout and Warranty Support.

Our proactive approach to communication and team engagement will ensure proper
support and execution of the project. Our team works diligently to mitigate
issues early on which minimizes risk that ensures a successful project is
delivered to your team and community.


MASTER [ MAS-TER ]
PLANS [ PLANS ]

A comprehensive or far-reaching plan of action.

Master plans are holistic assessments of the district's needs and the options
that are developed.

Master plans promote equity and build data-driven options that move the district
forward towards the fulfillment of their vision.

Master plans are designed to improve educational environments for all students
by prioritizing the highest needs and finding the best ways to address them
given the district's restraints.
