Deferred Maintenance

The bond will fund $120 million worth of deferred maintenance at most schools. Although the District continually addresses maintenance issues as part of its operations budget, there are other projects that are unfunded and uncompleted.

In 2019, a third-party consultant completed a comprehensive Facility Condition Assessment (FCA). The consultant evaluated the physical condition of all district facilities, both interiors and exteriors, and then computed the deferred maintenance cost for each facility. The district's total 10-year deferred maintenance cost was determined to be $610.1 million, which also included seismic improvements.

Deferred maintenance needs include:

• Upgrades and/or replacements to structural, mechanical and electrical systems, including HVAC upgrades and roof replacements
• Exterior enclosure improvements
• Interior finishes improvements
• Upgrades and/or replacements to commercial equipment
• Fire and life safety improvements
• Site improvement work, including adding/replacing sidewalks and repairing drainage
