Revised (Nov 20 2008)
Capital Plan
Boards of education are responsible for:
- designing and constructing schools buildings to specified standards
- ensuring that school buildings and grounds are safe, secure and properly maintained, and
- operating and utilizing schools as efficiently as possible.
Each year, boards submit five-year capital plans for school building projects they wish to undertake. Each capital request coming to the ministry is analyzed and assigned a priority ranking. Resources are allocated to the highest-priority projects. Funding is provided to projects designed to accommodate enrollment growth, seismic upgrading and the replacement or rehabilitation of existing school facilities that have reached the end of their economic and functional life.
