Section 503:  Study and Survey Process 

The study and survey process requires a full update of the school district’s area in the ICOS database, as well as a report in PDF format uploaded into the study and survey section of ICOS. These should be done by the school district and/or consultant, and includes various items such as site plans, building area analyses, condition assessment summaries, financial analysis of the district, capital long-term plan and list of potential projects. Consult your Regional Coordinator for guidance on the study and survey report and in updating ICOS.
