The increasing age of buildings has created a backlog of work to replace roofs on their expected 20 year life cycle. Roofs are replaced when schools are not in session, and are scheduled during the summer. This is an annual request, funded since FY 1976. An FY 2018 appropriation was approved for partial roof replacements at Brookhaven, Farmland, Fox Chapel and Greenwood elementary schools; and, Winston Churchill, Damascus, and Springbrook high schools. The request also will fund full roof replacements at Germantown, Highland View, and Poolesville elementary schools. An FY 2019 appropriation was requested for partial roof replacements at Highland, Jackson Road, and Sally K. Ride elementary schools; Julius West Middle School; Clarksburg, Damascus, and Springbrook high schools; and, a full roof replacement at Shady Grove Middle School. However, the County Council reduced the FY 2019 appropriation by $4 million. Therefore, the list shown above will be aligned with the approved funding level for FY 2019. An FY 2019 supplemental appropriation and offsetting reductions of $3 million were approved from this project to the current revitalization/expansion project for Seneca Valley High School. An FY 2020 appropriation was approved to continue this level of effort project for partial and full roof replacement projects at various schools throughout the county. An FY 2021 appropriation was requested for full and/or partial roof replacements at Bethesda and Damascus elementary schools, Kingsview, John Poole, and Westland middle schools. However, due to fiscal constraints, the County Council, in the adopted FY2021-2026 CIP reduced the FY2021 appropriation by $4 million less than the Board of Education's request. Therefore, the project list noted above will be aligned with the FY2021 approved expenditures. An FY 2022 appropriation and amendment to the FY 2021-2026 CIP was approved to continue this level of effort project for partial and full roof replacement projects at various schools throughout the county. The approved amendment for FY 2022 reinstates the expenditures that were removed as part of the adopted FY 2021-2026 CIP. An FY 2023 appropriation was approved to continue this level of effort project for partial and full roof replacement projects at 3 high schools and 9 elementary schools. An FY2024 appropriation is requested to continue this level of effort project for partial and full roof replacement projects at various schools throughout the county. This project is included in the county's fy 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Program. As of August 24, 2023, further details regarding design and construction timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
