Building Our Future: Capital Projects

The Capital Improvement Program includes dollars for renovations, modular classrooms, additions to existing schools, and construction of new schools.

Approximately two out of every three Capital Improvement Program dollars are earmarked for renovations, modular classrooms, additions of existing school facilities, and construction of new schools. This significant expenditure reflects the age of FCPS facilities and the School Board's commitment to ensuring that all schools contain the facilities necessary to support current educational programs.

Information on public meetings related to capital projects are listed on each project webpage as linked below.

School Board meetings can be viewed on FCPS Cable TV Channel 99 (Verizon Channel 11), the FCPS YouTube Channel, and on the FCPS website.

Recordings of School Board meetings and work sessions can be viewed on the FCPS YouTube channel.
