CFO outlines $117M six-year CIP, flags Tabb High and Queens Lake as next major projects
Summary
York County school CFO briefed the board on the division's compressed six-year capital plan, saying funding is nearly secured for Tabb High and that Queens Lake and Waller Mill follow; staff estimated the six-year program at roughly $117 million, largely bond-funded.
Chief Financial Officer Bowen summarized how projects are selected for the capital improvements program and presented the six-year plan with a rough total of $117,000,000, roughly $100,000,000 of which Bowen said would be funded by county bonds requiring debt service. "We have all but secured funding for the Tabb High School project," Bowen told the board, and listed Queens Lake and Waller Mill as the next two projects in line.
Board members asked about typical construction costs and Bowen gave order‑of‑magnitude estimates: new elementary schools generally $40–50 million (land availability permitting), middle schools roughly $60–100 million and high schools in excess of $100 million. Supervisors probed enrollment yields from planned housing developments and whether phasing, redistricting or new construction would be more cost effective; Bowen said staff are modeling capacity and will return with recommendations tied to the consultants' final facilities report.
The presentation framed several projects in FY26–28 columns and noted smaller projects are folded into an "other projects" line; staff said some older buildings are not in the immediate six-year horizon and that a longer 15-year outlook will be used for broader forecasting.
