The Herald-Mail Media reports that Washington County Public Schools undertook 113 facilities projects and major work at 14 buildings over the course of the summer.
Maintenance and upgrades to current school buildings can help extend their useful life. As reported by Herald-Mail Media,
Chief Operating Officer Jeffrey Proulx said any investment the system can make in maintaining its infrastructure is beneficial because the district doesn’t know what the lifecycle of its buildings will be.

At MACo’s winter conference, a general session on school construction will discuss the effect of recent changes to school construction laws, a summer study of school construction funding and facilities assessments, and legislation that might be coming in the 2020 legislative year.
Session Title: Change Order: Is a Shift in School Construction Funding on the Way?
