The district researched industry standards for facility capital funding for K-12 institutions and believes the annual allocation for capital funding currently received is below recommended levels to properly maintain facilities. Findings include the following annual capital allocations: • Recommended amount to "regularly upgrade existing facilities' systems, components, fixtures, equipment, and finishes as they reach the end of their anticipated life expectancy; systematically reduce the backlog of deferred maintenance that has accumulated; and alter existing facilities to respond to changing educational requirements." = $16,379,112 (1) • Recommended amount to make sure buildings are "clean and in good working order." = $12,284,334 (2) • The above are based on 3 & 4% of replacement costs. Utilizing a rate of combined 5% = $20,473,891 which is $12 million below current expenses. • The states with the lowest shares of M&O spending as a percentage of total budget were Georgia (7.6 percent), Minnesota (7.7 percent), and North Carolina (8.1 percent). Those with the highest shares were Oklahoma (11.1 percent), Arizona (12.1 percent), and Alaska (12.9 percent). CHCCS is at 9.6% (3) • The states that spent the least per student on M&O were Utah ($614), Idaho ($639), and North Carolina ($733). At the other end of the range were Alaska ($2,096), New Jersey ($1,923), and New York ($1,759). (4) Footnotes 1.
