An addition project was scheduled to be completed in August 2027, however, the project was removed due to insufficient funding. Beginning in 2025, MCPS hired a third party contractor to conduct facility assessments which led to a data set known as a Facility Condition Index (FCI). Along with the FCI, other relevant data sets were incorporated into a new CIP prioritization framework that led to the requested FY 2027 Major Capital Projects.

Based on the new FY 2027 Prioritization Framework, Highland View ES ranked high enough to be considered for a Major Capital Project. The Board requested a replacement project that would begin planning in FY 2028 with an anticipated completion date of August 2031. Due to fiscal constraints, in the adopted FY2027-2032 CIP, the County Council delayed the start of the project to FY 2031 with an anticipated completion date of August 2034.
