Study Areas
- Construction of new facilities to accommodate growth.
- Repair and renovation of schools to enable them to operate more efficiently and to
allow the delivery of the current instructional program.
- Repair and/or replacement of major building systems and equipment that are
unreliable and costly to operate.
