Cheney Public Schools serves a large area encompassing the cities of Cheney and Airway Heights in Washington State. The area is situated in the eastern area of the state, just west of the Spokane metro area. The area encompasses or is adjacent to large areas of farmland and timber, Eastern Washington University, Spokane International Airport and Fairchild Airforce Base. The city of Cheney was incorporated in 1883 and the city of Airway Heights was incorporated in 1955. While Cheney is slightly larger than Airway Heights, the latter is experiencing significant growth and is anticipated to eclipse Cheney as the largest city in the district within a few years.
Preceding this study, Cheney Public Schools was aware of immediate and anticipated long-term growth in the community and the corresponding demand on school facilities. In addition, the district was fully aware that, over time, the physical condition of school buildings decline. The School Board has taken seriously its charge to protect and preserve the school facility assets owned by the community and to ensure that their educational mission is supported by appropriate, cost-effective facilities. Therefore, the district felt it was important to understand the current condition of its educational facilities. Further, the Board determined that they needed a data-driven plan Cheney Public Schools – Facility Master Plan Page 1-2 to help them map the future of the district and how they might improve educational facilities.
