LOCATION OF POSITION

Main Purpose of Job

The main purpose of this position is to assess the condition and educational sufficiency of public PK-12 school facilities to determine variation from standards and best practices and advise for the purpose of improvement function and affordability. The passage of the 21st Century School Facilities Act (2018 Md. Laws, Chap. 14) requires that the Interagency Commission on School Construction (IAC) conduct ongoing school-facility assessments so that school data are never more than four years old. Such assessments and reports help safeguard that the State's investments in school facility improvements are being properly stewarded, that capital improvements will not be needed prematurely due to lack of maintenance, and that students, teachers, and educational support staff in the State of Maryland will be provided with safe, healthy, and educationally supportive learning environments over time.
 
The incumbent assesses public PK-12 school facilities in accordance with established procedures. The incumbent assesses-visually and otherwise-the condition of building systems and their components as organized into a set of !AC-determined categories and confers condition ratings based upon the observed remaining useful lifespans as estimated by the assessor. 

In addition, this position is responsible for identifying and propagating best practices in facilities stewardship. The 2181 Century School Facilities Act (2018 Md. Laws, Chap. 14) gives the IAC a role in identifying best practices in school construction and facilities management and making those best practices available to LEAs. This position will help the IAC carry out this role and facilitate the sharing of information amongst the LEAs.
