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

<br /> Priorities for Capital Projects — page 7
<br /> Utilizing facility assessment information and feedback from building occupants the following
<br /> priorities are used for setting priorities for capital projects:
<br /> • Fire, Life, Health & Safety related projects
<br /> • Building projects that increase Student Capacity
<br /> • End of Life Systems (roofs, mechanical systems, carpets, plumbing, etc.)
<br /> • Building Envelope Systems (brick veneer, drainage/gutters, windows, doors, etc.)
<br /> • Sustainability projects (lighting, cost savings, environmental controls, etc.)
<br /> • General maintenance & repair projects (painting, parking lots, athletic areas, etc.)
