Projections indicate that Paint Branch HS will exceed capacity by more than 200 seats by the end of the six-year period. An FY 2025 appropriation was requested to begin the planning and design for this addition project. Due to fiscal constraints, the County Council did not approve any expenditures for this project. As a result, planning and construction funds will be considered in a future CIP.

State Aid projected under the IAC Capital Improvement Program or the Built to Learn Act for school construction program.

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.
