In January 2000, the National Trust for Historic Preservation initiated a nationwide study of historic school buildings in response to growing alarm over the rate of their demolition, deterioration, and abandonment. This initiative calls attention to the unfortunate plight of some of the country’s most significant well-built older public buildings.

The Trust’s study was undertaken at the state level by State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) or nonprofit statewide organizations, and was meant to identify and understand the issues that affect historic school buildings.
