Staff previews FY27 state-eligible capital requests, including roof and Hartford Academy projects
Summary
Harford County Public Schools staff reviewed state-eligible FY27 capital projects Sept. 8, citing an estimated state allocation of about $10.9 million plus $2.7 million in additional EGRC funds and noting that some state programs (Healthy Schools, Aging Schools) are sunsetting.
At the Sept. 8 meeting the district's assistant superintendent for operations, Kathy Bendis, and facilities planner Missy Valentino presented Harford County Public Schools' FY27 capital improvement program priorities for state-eligible projects.
Valentino outlined funding assumptions: a projected state targeted allocation of about $10.9 million plus approximately $2.7 million in enrollment-growth/EGRC funding, for a total near $13 million in state-eligible funds. Staff noted the state increased its participation share by 1 percentage point this year (to roughly 59% state / 41% county local match) and that two state funding programs (Healthy Schools and Aging Schools) are sunsetting after FY26, which affects roof- and emergent-repair funding strategies.
Staff described priority projects including roof work at Halls Crossroads Elementary, the Hartford Academy and a proposed new elementary school. They said the district is planning local-match arrangements and is discussing forward-funding options with local partners to maintain cash flow for large projects.
The presentation did not require a vote that night; staff said the FY27 state submission is scheduled for Oct. 3 and that the board will see local funding proposals and priority-scoring later in the fall.
