The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is the plan of the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Education to fund capital projects during the fiscal year covered by the capital budget and the succeeding five fiscal years. Through the CIP, educational facilities are planned, designed, renovated and constructed based on the prioritization of needs established in the
Educational Facility Master Plan (EFMP).

TIMELINE AND PROCESS OF THE CIP
The
proposed CIP is generally presented to the Board of Education at one of
their first August meetings of the School Year (SY). The plan is
introduced as a 'First Reader' initially, then followed by a Public
Hearing where community input can be heard. A 'Second Reader' is
scheduled following the public hearing where the plan is scheduled for
action by the Board. Once approved, the plan is forwarded to the County
Council and the County Executive for funding review as well as to the
State of Maryland. Both the County and the State review the details of
the plan in anticipation of approving capital funds in the Spring.
During the time of review, community stakeholders have many
opportunities to voice their opinions regarding the various capital
projects contained in the plan.
