Based on the KFI assessment data, various building system upgrades/replacements and programmatic requirements are needed for this school. Therefore, the requested FY2025-203 CIP includes funding for a Major Capital Project at this school. This project will address aging infrastructure and meet programmatic objectives. As part of the FY2025-2030 CIP, planning funds and only placeholder construction funds were included in this project. An FY 2025 appropriation was approved to begin the planning and design of this project. However, due to fiscal constraints, as part of the County Council's approved FY 2025-2030 CIP, the placeholder construction expenditures were shifted to the outyears of the CIP. Once planning is complete and the scope and the cost of the project are determined, construction funds, along with a completion date, will be considered in a future CIP.

State Aid projected under the IAC Capital Improvement Program or the Built to Learn Act for school construction program.

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.
