NCSSM’s Western Campus Presubmittal Bid Meeting: 8-18-16
Project Description The first step in planning the western campus of NCSSM is to develop a vision for the educational program for the new campus. The new campus will be planned and governed under the current legislation governing NCSSM. The planning process should build upon the successes of NCSSM over the past 36 years, while embracing innovation and the unique opportunities for learning and programming presented by the new campus’ location in Morganton, NC.
Project Description work with NCSSM to engage an educational program • planning consultant to develop an inclusive planning process to develop the vision and educational program design for the western campus. work with NCSSM, the educational program planning • consultant, and planning team to develop the vision and educational program design for the western campus including key learning experiences for the students, and an outline of the academic program including the curriculum and educational program delivery model (i.e., residential, virtual).
Project Description Work with the planning team to develop principles for the • campus design aligned with the needs of the educational program. Work with the planning team to determine the most • appropriate site location for the school on the state-owned property in Morganton, NC designated for the school. This includes evaluating the feasibility of renovating existing facilities for the project, and/or new construction. Work with the planning team on design, budget planning, • and construction phasing for the new school.

Possible Implementation Timeline
Planning Process: Frequently Asked Questions • Would students from western North Carolina automatically be assigned to this school? • How many more students could a second school serve? Would those students have to meet the same admissions standards? • What is the academic program? Will it replicate the current NCSSM curriculum? • Has the exact site for the school been determined?
Strategy 9: Articulate vision for NCSSM with western campus that strengthens our ability to achieve our mission of expanding opportunities for students and educators Assigned Strategy and results status to Secure state funding to adequately support all NCSSM programs and operations All students will continue to apply to program of their choice; admissions will continue to be apportioned by geography All NCSSM programs should offer distinct value to students and families Convene a broad, diverse committee of stakeholders to advise planning process Academic planning and program implementation will align with Strategic Plan Academic planning and program implementation will catalyze innovation in STEM education and maximize unique regional assets Conduct comprehensive inventory of regional assets, particularly academic and social, from variety of perspectives, especially students’ Infuse program design with broad and diverse constituent insight gathered through effective research Ensure that organizational structure of each program underscores importance and value to individual participants, local and regional communities, and NCSSM as a whole All NCSSM programs will operate under current jurisdiction defined in NC General Statutes
