Wayside Elementary School was built in 1969 and is a grade K-5 school. Scheduling of this modernization is consistent with the MCPS long-range plans to renew aging facilities on a rational and periodic basis. Due to fiscal constraints, the modernization schedule for elementary, middle, and high schools was delayed. An FY 2013 appropriation was approved for planning funds. Due to fiscal constraints, the Board of Education's Requested FY 2015-2016 CIP includes a one-year delay of the elementary school revitalization/expansion program. Due to fiscal constraints, the approved FY2015-2020 CIP includes an additional one year delay beyond the Board's request. The Board of Education's requested FY2015-2020 Amended CIP reinstated the construction schedule previously requested by the Board. The County Council approved the Board's request. An FY 2016 appropriation was approved for construction funds. An FY 2017 appropriation was approved to complete this project. This modernization is now scheduled to be completed by August 2017.
