anchor Description
In September the Spanish Immersion Program located at Rolling Terrace Elementary School was relocated to William T. Page Elementary School. Projections indicate that enrollment will exceed capacity by seats or more by the end of the six-year period. An FY appropriation was requested to begin the architectural planning and design for this addition project. The FY planning appropriation was approved by the County Council, however, due to fiscal constraints, the construction expenditures were approved one year beyond the Board of Education's request. An FY appropriation and amendment to the FY CIP is requested to accelerate the construction of this addition project to the completion date requested by the Board of Education in the FY CIP. The FY appropriation was approved for construction funds. As part of the CIP, an additional million from the county executive's Prevailing Wage and Built to Learn Act PDFs was included in this project to maximize state aid. An FY appropriation was approved to complete this project. This addition is scheduled to be completed August A transfer of million from this project will go towards the Charles W. Woodward High School reopening project to address a local funding gap due to reduced state aid eligibility. This transfer will not affect this project's scope of work.
