Facilities

New Construction

To address ongoing needs with capacity utilization and aging buildings, the district will develop plans for two new facilities.

• One elementary school will be built in Planning Region A (South of City of Atlanta)

• One elementary school will be built in Planning Region C (North of the Chattahoochee River).

This may include building a replacement school on-site, building on a different site, and/or consolidation. Schools with aging facilities and declining enrollment in those regions will be evaluated for possible closure or consolidation into the new facilities.

Prioritized Renovations

A multi-year, priority-tiered renovation schedule will address facility deficiencies and replacement needs.

• HVAC and mechanical systems nearing the end of their life cycle

• Roofing replacement and/or repairs

• Emergency generators and life-safety systems

• Intercom, communication, and electrical systems

• Interior improvements such as LED lighting,

• flooring, and finishes

Safety Investments

Facility updates ensure that buildings not only operate efficiently but also support safe and modern learning
environments.

• Security vestibules at identified schools (districtwide)

• Cafeteria audio/visual updates (elementary)

• LED lighting replacement in common spaces (districtwide)

Athletic Facilities

At identified schools, athletic facilities are addressed as part of the overall student experience.

• Track resurfacing (high school)

• Competition turf replacement (high school)

• Stadium upgrades (high school)

• Expanded athletic storage (high school)

• Track, tennis and outdoor basketball court resurfacing (middle school)

Additional Items

The plan also allows funding flexibility for additional projects between 2028 and 2032, including:

• Elementary playground upgrades

• Local school priorities

• Demolition of outdated facilities

• Facility maintenance and replacement projects

• Other emerging/unanticipated needs
