School facility planning should be integrated with broader community planning efforts such as Small Area Plans and revitalization plans. The inclusion of schools in these plans can help promote parental involvement, improve school safety, and create connections between the school and the larger community around it. Coordinated planning also provides a means for residents to address land use, design, transportation, and physical planning issues associated with schools, and to voice opinions on the types of non-educational services that might be provided on school campuses. 1210.1
