Facility Master Plan
The district’s strategic plan contains several objectives connected to school facilities and long-range planning. This led to the creation of the Facility Master Plan during the 2023-2024 school year to address:
- Grade-level Configuration
- Future Facility Needs
- Boundaries
- Renovations & Construction
The facilities master plan allows Ankeny Community Schools to build on its tradition of excellence and to set the standard for high-quality student experiences, opportunities, and achievement.
2023-2024 Facility Master Plan Work
In November 2023, the community voted to approve the existing levy rate for the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL), one of the most significant funding streams for facility work in Ankeny Schools. This fund allows us to plan for the future of Ankeny’s facilities.
Additionally, the Innovative Hub Core Planning Team led stakeholders through a process to establish a first draft of academic programming to be offered at the hub and the initial design concepts for the facility.
Finally, an internal team of administrators and district officials began the planning and preparatory work for the grade-level configuration changes slated to take place in the next five years.
2022-2023 Facility Master Plan Work
On May 15, 2023, the Ankeny Board of Education approved elementary boundaries for the 2024-2025 school year (to accommodate the opening of Abbie Grove Elementary) and a new grade-level configuration below:
- 2024-2025 Elementary Boundaries: Please view the board-approved map here.
- Grade-Level Configuration: Preschool, Elementary Grades K-5, Middle Grades 6-8, High Grades 9-12. (These changes will not take effect for the 2023-2024 school year. A planning committee will be formed to create an implementation timeline.)
