Capital Maintenance Program

The Phase V Capital Maintenance Program was initially approved in 2020 by voters as a lump sum, six-year program of $328M and is funded with sales tax proceeds collected in January 2023 through December 2028.  Following a comprehensive condition assessment of all CCSD facilities in 2015 which forecast 20 years of projects, year by year, the Facilities Management (FM) Department extracted and mapped out the first six years of projects.  This six-year Capital Maintenance Program was approved by the District Board of Trustees as an official program in 2016 and has been updated and re-approved annually ever since. The latest FCA was performed in 2024.   In light of the aforementioned conditions assessment, Facilities Management has the benefit of a roadmap of projects that depend mostly upon assessed facility conditions of existing schools.  Thus, the capital maintenance investment is equitable to the need of the facilities, and that need is due to age of systems and assessed material conditions.  These material conditions are inspected annually by CCSD staff, leading to an annual, updated plan that aims to faithfully address the most pressing facility needs wherever they exist.  However, CCSD staff is aware that facility needs can vary in the eye of the beholder – while a new roof when needed is almost always a priority, a new paint job can dramatically improve an indoor learning environment – so, the Facilities Management staff constantly balance facility needs from varied perspectives
