Essential Questions • How do we pay for the upkeep of our facilities? • From the Building Capital Maintenance slice of the CPF • What are our needs? • Needs are prioritized based upon established criteria. Debt avoidance is accomplished through this stratified approach and the phasing of large ticket items such as the HS roof. • What are our plans to pay for these needs? • Take advantage of the mitigation of circuit breaker loss made possible by the debt restructuring in 2013-2015. • Are we adequately accommodating student enrollment? • Yes, but the over capacity at SGE and the nearing capacity at ZCHS must be addressed, thus this foreshadowing of planning activities
