Building for Success Program Objectives
  • Connect schools to the community.
  • Communicate timeline, accomplishments and challenges.
  • Hold regularly scheduled Citizens’ Oversight Committee meetings.
  • Minimize costs while maximizing quality.
  • Maximize open space on campuses.
  • Minimize disruption during instructional day and impact to existing operations.
  • Bring meaningful improvements to older schools.


Program Financial Challenges

  • Rapid increases in Workers’ Compensation costs are expected to increase construction labor and material costs by as much as 25% in selected trades.

  • Increase in work on school bond programs has made the market for construction contracts less competitive. The re-building from the fires of October may also impact competition.
  • Consolidation of selected trade companies resulting in upward pressures on construction bids.
  • Selected lumber costs have risen by 48% in less than one year.
  • New Labor Compliance Program requirements costing up to 1% of the construction program.
