Current Projects Utilizing Capital Outlay
Capital outlay work refers to smaller-scale construction or improvement projects that focus on maintaining and enhancing specific areas of our school buildings and facilities. These projects are typically completed within a shorter timeframe and often target necessary repairs, safety enhancements, or efficiency upgrades. Examples of capital outlay work may include roof repairs, HVAC updates, classroom renovations, or energy-saving improvements. This type of work is crucial in ensuring that our facilities remain safe, functional, and conducive to learning, while also allowing the district to address immediate needs without large-scale funding efforts.
