The HCPSS and BOE are working to develop an objective and data driven capital budget prioritization process. The process aims to OBJECTIVELY prioritize the HCPSS facilities and buildings based on identifiable capital needs. This process will hopefully FINALLY get Dunloggin Middle School and Centennial High School the attention and support they need to renovate, and/or potentially replace. This objective plan will also protect other schools from going through the same painful process DMS has gone through over the last 10 years of being ignored. Provide your thoughts on the capital budget prioritization process to staff via the survey (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScf_ZiumS9xT8EQ1HpihMgYm5Rkaig2fecr_6-tGNw2SphVwg/viewform) and check the website https://www.hcpssne.ws/cap-process which also includes more details about the process. Survey available in English, Spanish, Chinese and Korean.
