Overview

Polytechnic High School was identified for the development of a

“Comprehensive Modernization Project”

Board of Education approved in March 2015

1 of 11 schools identified…so far

What does this mean?

A large-scale project is being developed to make major improvements

to Polytechnic HS’s facilities

The project will address the most critical physical conditions of school

buildings and grounds Focus on safety

Limit work on less critical items.

The project is developed based on data, analysis, and community input

Approximately 10 Times More Funding Than is Available Would be Needed to Address All the Capital

Needs of All of Our Schools


4/13

Board Approved Goals
