*Number of seats anticipated to carry over in District 2 has decreased since the Plan was adopted
because the FY2005 – 2009 Plan funded 361 more District 2 seats than anticipated when the FY2010
– 2014 Plan was first proposed.
The FY2005 – 2009 Capital Plan is historic in many ways. It is the largest Department of
Education Capital Plan ever funded. Through value engineering and stringent adherence to new
standards, the DOE reduced the cost per square foot for new construction significantly from the
previous Plan. Stringent Green Design Standards were incorporated in all capacity projects starting
design after January 1, 2007. It was the first Plan that was established based on needs identified
through technical evaluation of the capacity resources, demographic projections and current state
of repair of all DOE facilities. It is the first Plan to undergo an Annual Amendment process that
included a public review and approval process. The planning process is an evolving process and,
as such, the FY2010 – 2014 Capital Plan incorporates the most successful elements of this last
Plan and expands upon those successes.
Structure of the 2010 – 2014 Capital Plan
The Adopted FY2010 – 2014 Capital Plan enhances the structure of the FY2005 – 2009 Capital
Plan by combining all programs under two major categories. The enhancement provides a more
comprehensive view of the proposed initiatives. Capacity includes all initiatives that create new
school facilities and Capital Investment includes all programs undertaken to improve and
upgrade existing facilities. The Capital Investment category includes the Capital Improvement
Program, the Children First Initiatives, which were established to adjust and improve the
instructional capabilities of our existing buildings, and Mandated Programs.
As in the FY2005 – 2009 Plan, the proposed new Capacity projects are identified for all five years.
Projects that renovate existing buildings, however, were identified only for the first two years of
the plan (FY2010 - 2011), with funding allocations for the remaining three years. Each annual
plan amendment identified individual projects for the two succeeding years. Under the 2012
Adopted Amendment, the final year, FY2014, capital investment projects were identified. This
