Educational Specifications

The Murrieta Valley Unified School District Educational Specifications outlines the academic vision and programmatic guidelines based on how instruction is delivered today and provides flexibility to embrace changes to educational pedagogy in the future. They are a direct reflection of the MVUSD Board of Education’s Vision, mission, and goals. A fundamental purpose of the ed specs is to ensure educational equity so that each student can reach their fullest potential. 

The information contained within these Educational Specifications provides a framework for how new schools should be constructed and existing facilities modernized during the next thirty years. While these Educational Specifications are intended to serve as a long-term guide for decision-making, they should be regarded as a living document requiring ongoing review and update to respond to constant changes to educational delivery, practices, strategies, and models.

The Educational Specifications are a guide, and as such, should be applied to each school project in the context of site-specific circumstances and nuances. These Educational Specifications are to be applied district-wide, taking into consideration site-specific details and factors. Please note that some existing school facilities in their entirety and components thereof may be unable to undergo modifications to meet the standards outlined in these Educational Specifications. In these circumstances, deviations should be explicitly reviewed by MVUSD project staff. In some cases, decisions will need to be made on whether a new facility should be constructed.
