Capital Outlay

about us

In the Division of Capital Outlay, our mission is to build and modernize educational environments that foster every student's success and cultivate community pride across our school district. We are responsible for the strategic planning, development, and implementation of the district’s comprehensive Local Facilities Plan. This comprehensive plan is built on a foundation of collaboration; we conduct needs assessment surveys at every campus, integrating critical feedback from school administrators, central office personnel, and operations divisions to ensure our growth aligns with educational goals.

Funded primarily through SPLOST and capital allocations, our division ensures responsible stewardship of public resources. From the initial conceptual phase to the final brick laid, we bridge the gap between financial planning and physical construction. By managing complex infrastructure needs, we ensure our district's facilities are safe, modern, and prepared to accommodate future generations of learners.
