Belmont Elementary School was built in 1974. 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 Board of Education's Requested FY 2015-2020 CIP includes a one-year delay of elementary school revitalizations/expansions. While planning funds remain on schedule, due to fiscal constraints, construction funds for this project were delayed one year in the approved FY2015-2020 CIP. The Board of Education's requested FY2015-2020 Amended CIP reinstated the construction schedule previously requested by the Board. Due to fiscal constraints, the County Council did not approve the Board's request. The County Council's adopted FY 2017-2022 CIP includes a one year delay of elementary school revitalizations/expansions beginning with Cold Spring Elementary School, however planning funds remain on the approved schedule. FY 2018 planning funds were included in the Board of Education's Amended FY 2017-2022 CIP. However, based on the OLO report and a review of the FACT assessment criteria, the Board of Education approved an amendment to the requested FY 2017-2022 Amended CIP to shift the FY 2018 planning funds to FY 2019 since the approach to reassess and prioritize schools will continue into the development of the FY 2019-2024 CIP. This shift in planning funds did not impact the completion date of this project. This project is now scheduled with a TBD completion date.

Expenditures will continue indefinitely.
