In order to address the overutilization at the high school level in the Downcounty Consortium and at Walter Johnson High School, the Board of Education's requested FY 2019-2024 CIP included three capital projects to address the overutilization in these areas. The requested CIP includes an expansion of Northwood High School, the reopening of Charles W. Woodward High School, and an addition at John F. Kennedy High School. Therefore, an FY 2019 appropriation was approved to begin planning for the addition at John F. Kennedy High School. An FY 2020 appropriation was approved for construction funds. Additional funding is requested in the FY 2021-2026 CIP beyond the approved funding level to address site improvements needed at the school once the addition is complete. An FY 2021 appropriation was approved to complete this project. This addition is scheduled to be completed August 2022.

FY23 State Aid (balance) for $2.585 million.

MCPS asserts that this project conforms to the requirement of relevant local plans, as required by the Maryland Economic Growth, Resource Protection and Planning Act.
