Maintenance Needs Across the District

Within Guilford County Schools (GCS), more than two-thirds of the schools are more than 30 years old. At the 30-year mark, facilities begin to need major renovations. Additionally, many GCS facilities need basic repairs to heating and ventilation systems, electrical systems, plumbing and sanitation systems.

Necessary renovations also include upgrades for science and technology needs that weren’t envisioned when schools were built decades ago. The district has aging facilities that need to be repaired and upgraded to keep students healthy and safe and to meet today’s educational standards.

If the school construction bonds are approved, more than $8 million will be provided to address improvements to existing HVAC systems, including boiler and chiller replacement, air conditioning of some areas, control systems and miscellaneous equipment upgrades.
