The district recognizes that it is a “forever” owner of school facilities – unlike businesses and home owners. This responsibility requires continual preventative maintenance and repair programs. The district takes care of its schools in three ways: routine maintenance, renewal projects that extend the life of the school, and renovation projects that bring the school up to current districtwide educational specifications and building codes.
This year, $22.6 million is allocated through the district’s regular operating budget for the maintenance and repair program. This money covers items such as painting, repair, replacing broken glass, fixing locks, plowing snow, installing traffic signs, repairing fences, maintaining plumbing, heating, electrical and roofing systems, etc. |
