anchor Description
This project will provide needed modifications to specific areas of restroom facilities. A study was conducted in FY 2004 to evaluate restrooms for all schools that were built or renovated before 1985. Ratings were based upon visual inspections of the existing materials and fixtures as of August 1, 2003. Ratings also were based on conversations with the building services managers, principals, vice principals, and staffs about the existing conditions of the restroom facilities. The numeric rating for each school was based on an evaluation method using a preset number scale for the assessment of the existing plumbing fixtures, accessories, and room finish materials. In FY 2010, a second round of assessments were completed, which included a total of 110 schools, including holding facilities. BY FY 2018 all 110 schools assessed were completed. An FY 2019 appropriation was approved for the next phase of this project. An FY 2022 appropriation was approved to continue this level of effort project. An FY 2023 appropriation was approved to address restroom facilities throughout the school system including plumbing fixtures, accessories, and room finish materials. An FY2024 appropriation was approved to continue this level of effort project. An FY 2025 appropriation was approved to continue this project and address restroom facilities throughout the school system. In addition, the appropriation will fund modifications to provide single-user restrooms at various schools throughout the county.
