The Commissioners of St. Mary’s County unanimously approved a letter of support for an increase to the county’s public school system.
The $8.1 million increase in funding to the St. Mary’s County Public Schools (SMCPS) FY22-FY27 State Capital Improvement Program would cover several projects to improve school buildings and scheduled maintenance through 2027.
From the press release:
The life cycle replacement of building components is tracked through the SMCPS Comprehensive Maintenance Plan for Educational Facilities. It involves close coordination between the Department of Capital Planning and the Department of Maintenance. These capital needs are outlined each year in the Educational Facilities Master Plan.
