The 2010 Needs Survey Report is the culmination of twelve months of work commissioned by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (“MSBA”) to collect, verify, update and analyze data on the conditions of district-owned public K-12 school facilities throughout the Commonwealth. The data collected was a result of the observations of independent design and engineering professionals whose task was to utilize a standard survey tool to collect data and review the general building conditions, overall physical environment and space utilization at each school in the Commonwealth. The assessors met with the superintendent in each school district to collect and tabulate an inventory of district-owned school properties and to collect data on a number of district wide questions. Assessors then visited each school within the district to develop a comprehensive inventory of school facilities data. The Needs Survey data is one of many tools that the MSBA will use when assessing applications for funding.
