In its draft FY19-28 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the School Board has pared back its 10-year funding request to City Council from last year by nearly a quarter — from $611 million to $475 million.

However, despite the task force’s streamlining, the school system still faces a growing deficit of seats in light of increasing student enrollment.
