news BY JOHN CAULFIELD, SENIOR EDITOR NATION’S SCHOOL BUILDING NEEDS FACE $46 BILLION ANNUAL FUNDING SHORTFALL The nation faces a projected annual shortfall of $46 billion in school funding, according to “The State of Our Schools: America’s K-12 Facilities,” a new report by the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green <strong>Building</strong> Council (USGBC), the 21st Century School Fund, and the National Council on School Facilities. The report features in-depth, state-by-state analysis of investment in school infrastructure and a perspective on 20 years of school facility investment nationwide. It also makes recommendations for investments, innovations, and reforms to improve learning environments in all U.S. public schools. Currently, six states (Massachusetts, RSMEANS COSTS COMPARISONS: SPORTS FACILITIES ENCLOSED SWIMMING POOL RACQUETBALL COURT BOWLING ALLEY HOCKEY RINK/ SOCCER ’16 ’16 ’16 ’16 Atlanta 229.05 163.25 149.62 159.98 Baltimore 240.03 171.08 156.79 167.65 Boston 302.08 215.31 197.32 210.99 Chicago 303.36 216.22 198.16 211.88 Cleveland 252.54 180.00 164.97 176.39 Dallas 220.37 157.07 143.95 153.92 Denver 236.71 168.71 154.62 165.33 Detroit 263.52 187.82 172.14 184.06 Houston 224.20 159.80 146.45 156.59 Kansas City, Mo. 264.03 188.19 172.47 184.41 Los Angeles 280.12 199.65 182.98 195.65 Miami 221.90 158.16 144.95 154.99 Minneapolis 281.40 200.56 183.81 196.54 New Orleans 222.92 158.89 145.62 155.70 New York City 335.02 238.78 218.84 234.00 Philadelphia 294.93 210.21 192.65 205.99 Phoenix 224.96 160.34 146.95 157.13 Pittsburgh 262.76 187.28 171.64 183.52 Portland, Ore. 259.18 184.73 169.30 181.03 St. Louis 262.76 187.28 171.64 183.52 San Diego 270.42 192.74 176.64 188.87 San Francisco 317.91 226.59 207.67 222.05 Seattle 264.29 188.37 172.64 184.59 Washington, D.C. 249.22 177.63 162.80 174.07 Winston-Salem, N.C. 222.41 158.52 145.28 155.34 COSTS IN DOLLARS PER SQUARE FOOT FOR MORE DATA, VISIT RSMEANS AT WWW.RSMEANS.COM, OR CALL (800) 448-8182.

School districts should be spending $145 billion a year on buildings, but are $46 billion short. Wyoming, Connecticut, Ohio, Kentucky, and Hawaii) pay for all or nearly all of the capital construction costs for schools in their state; 12 states (Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin) provide no direct support to districts for capital construction responsibilities. In the remaining 32 states, the level of state support varies greatly, and the federal government contributes almost nothing to capital construction to help alleviate disparities. The report identifi es four key strategies for addressing the structural defi cits in the K–12 public education infrastructure: • Understand public school facilities conditions and provide communities access to accurate data about school facilities. • Engage in education facilities planning using best practices from across the country and support local communities in proposing creative and practical plans to improve their public school facilities. • Support new public funding to provide what is needed to build and maintain adequate and equitable school facilities. • Leverage public and private resources to extend a community’s investments, utilizing a new generation of structures, funding streams, and partnerships.
