Hamilton County Schools officials are expected to unveil the system's long-awaited facilities report Tuesday, and school board members say it will foreshadow long-term plans for the district's aging buildings.

The audit was commissioned by Superintendent Bryan Johnson and the school board last fall, and MGT Consulting Group has been conducting it on the district's more than 80 buildings this fall. Unveiling the report gained urgency when Hamilton County commissioners called for it as the district asked for increased funding, not for capital, but for operations in its original fiscal year 2020 budget report this year.

At 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, board members and commissioners will be meeting with representatives from MGT to discuss the report.
