Editorial Reviews

My former School District was the fortunate recipient of getting Dr. Bauscher’s services as an Educational Consultant. Rich is definitely the ‘Facilities expert’ in the State of Idaho. His proficiency in planning new schools is top notch and superior in every way.

Phil Homer

It was my pleasure to have served as a School Board Trustee for over seven years under former Superintendent Dr. Rich Bauscher. Our district benefited greatly from his forward thinking in academic achievement, technology, facility preparedness as well as student and staff increases. Rich’s facility expertise is well known locally, across Idaho and nationally. His knowledge and participation on various educational boards is continually being solicited.

There has been a lot written about school facilities over the years, but rarely has a book been authored by someone who has been a teacher, principal, superintendent, educational consultant, and university professor. Richard Bauscher has to be one of the most experienced and notable experts in this field. This book is very informational for anyone striving to be in a district leadership position or who wants to better understand the world of school facilities!” —Mike Friend, PhD, retired superintendent and past director of the Association of School Administrators (Idaho)

“As a professor in educational administration and a former superintendent (22 years), I consistently utilize this text. Conducting an extensive search, I chose this book both as a text and a reference. It covers school construction planning and a 'strategy system' for passing of school bonds. I find this book to be extremely useful and recommend it highly!” —Ron Bolinger, EdD, retired superintendent and professor in educational administration

“Bauscher’s school facility expertise helped us design and build many schools renown locally and nationally. With his extensive in-depth knowledge in authoring this book, it is essential that every school administrator get one.” —Steve Cluff, former School District Trustee Chairman (Idaho)
