Board of Ed eyes projects at 19 schools
We must upgrade and improve our facilities now in order to keep our schools in good, safe working order that our community expects.
Like a house, there is a natural life cycle for our school buildings. Through our Facility Master Plan and capital projects planning, we are able to identify when key capital projects (roof, window, plumbing, mechanical and electrical upgrades and replacement) need to be completed. In District 200, many of our schools were built at similar points in time, and therefore are on a similar renewal cycle. Our facilities are due for major renewals and renovations.
Watch this video for more information about why upgrading our schools now is so critical.
For over a year, the Board of Education and District staff have engaged our community, staff and architects to develop a Facilities Master Plan. This plan includes an educational assessment of our buildings, combined with an existing physical assessment, to provide a detailed, long-term view of our building needs. The Board has spent a great deal of time developing, studying and prioritizing projects that will preserve and enhance learning environments through cost-effective solutions.
