The Hamilton County Department of Education has launched a survey to gain community input on the district’s capital building plan.
The move comes after the Hamilton County Commission allocated $100 million in new money for school capital projects.
The goal of the survey is not to identify specific schools that need repair or rebuilding or other projects, but to hear what is important to the community as a whole, according to a news release from the department.
“We are extremely grateful for the $100 million commitment to address the capital needs of the school system,” said Superintendent Bryan Johnson in a statement. “… We recognize that over the course of the next few weeks, many eyes will be watching to ensure the strategic usage of these funds.”
According to a news release, the department will use the money to focus on four areas: growth, efficient usage of buildings based on student capacity, buildings that are beyond repair and maintenance that has been delayed.
