Based on the KFI assessment data, various building systems upgrades/replacements and programmatic requirements are needed for this school. Therefore, the requested FY 2021-2026 CIP included funding for a Major Capital Project at this school. This project will address aging infrastructure and meet programmatic objectives. Due to fiscal constraints, the County Council, in the adopted FY2021-2026 CIP, approved the completion date for this project one year beyond the Board of Education's request. An FY 2023 appropriation was approved to accelerate funds specifically to address ADA site related issues at this school prior to the construction of this project. Due to fiscal constraints, the County Council, in the adopted FY2023-2028, delayed this project by two years. As part of the adopted FY2023-2028 CIP, an additional $17 million from the County Executive's Built To Learn Act PDF was included in this project.

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.
