This project will provide facility modifications to support program offerings at schools that are not scheduled for capital improvements in the six-year CIP. These limited modifications to instruction and support spaces are needed to provide adequate space for new or expanded programs and administrative support space for schools. An FY 2019 appropriation was approved to continue to address modifications to schools due to special education program changes and space modifications for program requirements. The appropriation also will fund the reconfiguration of high school classroom spaces to provide additional science laboratories for schools that are overutilized and do not have sufficient space for science laboratory classes. Finally, the appropriation will fund the construction of a black box theatre at A. Mario Loiederman Middle School. An FY 2020 appropriation was approved to continue program and space modifications to schools. An FY 2021 appropriation was approved to continue this project and provide funding for modifications to instructional and support spaces for new or expanded programs, as well as administrative support space for schools. The appropriation also will provide funding for special education facility modifications and reconfiguration of high school classroom spaces to provide additional science laboratories for schools that are overutilized. Finally, this appropriation will provide the balance of funding for the A. Mario Loiederman Middle School project. An FY 2022 appropriation was approved to continue this project and provide modifications to instructional and support spaces for new or expanded programs. An FY 2023 appropriation was requested for modifications to schools due to special education program changes and relocations; science and multipurpose laboratory upgrades at secondary schools; and space modifications for program requirements at the secondary level. In addition, the appropriation will provide funding for overutilized schools where existing spaces require modifications to provide additional classroom space. Due to fiscal constraints, the County Council, in the adopted FY2023-2028 CIP, decreased the FY2023 and FY2024 expenditures, therefore, the number of projects will be reduced to align with the approved expenditures. An FY 2024 appropriation and amendment to the FY 2023-2028 CIP is requested to continue this level of effort project and also to provide funding to implement the new Blueprint for Maryland's Future through modifications to existing facilities to provide classroom spaces; to modify existing facilities to provide inclusive student restrooms; and, to modify existing facilities due to special education program changes and relocations.
