The Fredericksburg School Board at their December 5, 2015, meeting approved a $40.25 million capital improvement plan covering projects for fiscal years 2018 – 2022.

The approved plan, outlined below, includes 1.3 million in FY 2018 for roof replacement at Walker-Grant Middle School, $1.4 million in FY 2020 for a new elementary school study, and $32 million in FY 2021 for construction of a new elementary school.

The school board must review and adopt the plan each year. Updates in this year’s plan, according to Director of Administrative Services John B. Gordon III, include:
– An increase in amount requested for school buses, due to the need to begin replacing vehicles.
– An increase in the amount for computer technology, due to reduction last year and the need to keep up with technology demands.
– An increase in amount needed for carpet replacement at Hugh Mercer Elementary School and James Monroe High School.
– Money for the replacement of roof top units at Hugh Mercer Elementary School.
