Planning for capital improvements is an ongoing process. Priorities shift as conditions change at individual facilities, programs change, and the student population totals change. Prioritizing the work, with the available funding to address the most critical needs, is an ever-present challenge. Examining student enrollment growth within school attendance areas and school program capacities determines the need for additional space for students.

Building new school facilities and additions to existing school facilities addresses the overwhelming need for additional classrooms; where possible, additions are utilized as cost-effective alternatives to the construction of new facilities.

School Renovations and Renewals are programmed to ensure that all schools are safe, functional, and provide the facilities necessary to support the current educational programs.

Renewals may include modifications to existing or installation of new heating and air conditioning systems, lighting, electrical and plumbing systems, and modifications to accommodate students and teachers with disabilities. Renewals may also include fire alarms and security systems, bleacher and locker replacements, roof replacements, communication systems, painting, casework, doors, and hardware. The goal is to renovate buildings within 25 years.

Each school is evaluated at seven-year intervals, and major maintenance repairs are scheduled.
