16 <br />ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOLS <br />The Orange County Schools' five year Capital Improvements Plan emphasizes new computer <br />technology in the classroom, repairing and renovating existing facilities and energy <br />improvements. The plan also includes two new schools: the middle school, which Is part <br />of the 552 million bond package, and an additional elementary school to open in 1999. <br />Funds available for projects through FY 1996 -97 total $21.2 million. This includes previously <br />funded projects totaling $ 14.6 million and new funds from 1992 -93 through 1996 -97 totaling <br />56.6 million. For 1992 -93, all new funding, plus $123,000 in previously allocated but <br />unappropriated funds, will go toward completing the window replacement and air <br />conditioning project at Orange High School. <br />To continue implementing the technology plan, Orange County Schools will supplement the <br />S2 million (included in the November 1992 bond package) with 5600,000 in pay -as- you -go <br />funds for each of the next five years. <br />The Schools have identified $35 million in unfunded capital needs. This includes the two <br />new schools cited above: a new middle school ($15 million) and an elementary school <br />($15.5 million). Also included is $2.6 million for technology, of which $2 million is planned <br />to be funded by bond proceeds.
