INVENTORY (SFIQI): AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR SCHOOL FACILITY MANAGEMENT  \nTAK CHEUNG CHAN  \nKennesaw State University, USA  \nABSTRACT  \nThis article is on the development of the School Facility I.Q. Inventory (SFIQI), an instrument to assess the extent of knowledge a school administrator possesses in delivering their assignment to manage his/her school building. The instrument was designed based on the current literature. The validity of the instrument was verified by a panel ofjudges and its reliability was tested by using split-half reliability method. Embedding eight themes on school facility management, SFIQI consists offive sections with a total of 71 quantitative questions. The instrument can be used for self assessment of a school administrator’s knowledge about school facilities. It can also be used as a teaching tool in the school leadership preparation programs.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nSchool principals play many roles in their daily duties serving as the heads of schools (Chan, Jiang, Chandler, Morris, Rebisz, Turan, Shu, & Kpeglo, 2019) . Their major roles are instructional leadership and business management. While instructional leadership is focused on effective teaching and learning, business management includes personnel, finance, community relations and school operation (School principal job description, 2022; The building principal-My Tennessee public schools, 2022) . The focus of this article is on how the school principals maintain their school facilities in operation as their daily duty. How much do they need to know about their school buildings to maintain their smooth opening to serve the education purpose?  \nREVIEW OF LITERATURE  \nPreparing Principals to Manage School Facilities  \nMost of the candidates in the school principal preparation programs have only limited knowledge and background of school facilities. They know very little about the principals’ roles and responsibilities in managing school buildings. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that the preparation programs include at least one course offering on school facility management so that these candidates can be well prepared to deal with school building issues (Chan, Patterson, Tubbs, Holliday, Terry, & Rowe, 2007) . Educational leaders assigned to open up new school buildings are usually faced with unexpected facility challenges (Chan, 1983; Chan, 2001; Chan & Ledbetter, 1999). They also need to be prepared to handle new school building problems by going through the proper channels.  \nSchool Facility Management  \nThe planning of school facility management involves a targeted practical plan supported by sufficient resources and appropriate personnel (Chan & Richardson, 2005) . It also calls for a system of supervision and evaluation for the planning effort to be effective (Chan, Whitson, McLeod, & Bessette, 2005; Kowalski, 2002) . Bessette, Bowen and Chan (2006) also recommended a team approach to school building management which involves the administrators, the custodians, the teacher representatives, the student representatives and the parent volunteers. They claimed that the team effort is the best collaborative approach to school facility management.  \nEducational Planning | Fall 2022 65 Vol. 29, No. 3  \nSchool Building Maintenance Program  \nAn effective school building maintenance program could prolong the life expectancy of a school building (Castaldi, 1994; Earthman, 1994) . The school administrators and staff need to work with the school district maintenance department to make best use of the available resources to achieve the best purpose of keeping the school building in excellent shape (Tanner & Lackney, 2006). An accurate record of all school building data hastobe well kept and accessible for emergency use. Serious consideration has to be given to the extent and frequency of application in all areas of school maintenance (Davis & Loveless, 1981; Herman, 1995). Chan (2000) claimed that the school maintenance program has ","cbCaifykCi6rlXTm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifykCi6rlXTm","pdf",157718,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Review of Literature\n## Preparing Principals to Manage School Facilities\n## School Facility Management\n## School Building Maintenance Program\n## School Building Capacity and Utilization\n## School Portable Classrooms\n## School Safety and Healthy Environment","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the School Facility I.Q.
