Capital Improvement Program

Schools Require Ongoing Investment

Students and staff spend a significant portion of each day in our schools. The condition of classrooms, building systems, learning spaces, and school facilities plays an important role in supporting teaching, learning, safety, and daily operations.

How The Capital Improvement Program Works

A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a long-range planning tool that helps identify, prioritize, and schedule major facility projects across the division over a specific period of time.

While the CIP identifies projects and establishes priorities for future years, only projects included in the first year of the plan are submitted for funding consideration through the annual budget process.

Projects scheduled in future years are planning estimates based on current information and may change as facility needs, construction costs, enrollment trends, and available funding evolve. Each year, the plan is reviewed and updated to reflect completed projects, emerging priorities, and new information.

2025-26 Facilities Study

In December 2025, the School Board and Board of Supervisors approved a division request for a school facility needs evaluation. The study’s intent was to help identify current and future capacity needs, assess building and major system conditions, and provide objective data to assist in making cost-effective decisions about facility modernization and expansion. In September 2026, consultants provided both boards an overview of their findings and subsequently provided a written evaluation.
